My Baby Sasha & Gregor Collection

On the Sasha group on FB, they hold theme weeks, and last week it was Baby Sasha/Gregor.  Of course I am slow to jump on the bandwagon, and hence doing this post the following week, as an attempt to start blogging again...no promises though!  Anyway without further ado, I thought I'd show my babies...those who are long term followers of my blog both this one and my previous blogs, will know most of the babies, but there are a couple of new ones.


The girls.


Baby Amelia, one of the first babies I got is an early seventies sexed baby with raised eyelids.


Baby Grace, another of my first babies again early seventies sexed baby with raised eyelids.


Gotz Meike, whom I got at a Sasha Festival a number of years ago is still a minty baby.


Baby Natalie, my £1.30 charity shop bargain!


This little baby I bought in my quest for the 'perfect baby' for my little grand-daughter.  She is lovely, but she just wasn't 'right' so has stayed with me.  The collar on her dress is rather large, I might take it off and try to make it smaller.  I changed her into another dress.


This one I made a few years ago with some vintage fabric I had.


I think it was the stray hairs on her face which is part of the reason I didn't think she was 'just right'.


This was another baby that I got hoping she would be suitable for my grand daughter, but when she arrived she had terrible falling hair.  I should have sent her back, but accepted a small reduction in her price, and then spent more money getting her re-rooted.  It is a lovely job, but again I ended up not feeling that she was 'just right' for my grand daughter...so the search continued.

The baby I got in the end was perfect, lovely soft well rooted hair.  


I made a dress with matching bloomers for her, and she is now called Baby Lulu.






Next up we have the boys...


Cheeky lads they are!  All wearing clothing I have made them.


Baby Alfie was one of my first babies, is an early boy with raised eyelids.


Baby Barney Bam Bam, usually referred to as just 'Baby' has led Peggy Sue a wild chase at times in the past...


Baby Pirate... wearing the outfit I made for the #dollsgonegothpirates challenge.

Lastly we have the Sailor gang.

Lastly Ginger George, one of my first babies, wearing an outfit made by Vicki

Celebrating the Queen's Platinum Jubilee with a Garden Party

 


Henry has got his car out of the garage where it has been stored for the winter, and is giving it a good clean and polish ready for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee Party.


In the meantime Kiwi Sindy and Wren are already on their way


They are very excited and looking forward to arriving at the party


Kiwi Sindy's mini is of course very patriotic.


Kiwi Sindy parks the car and Wren hops out and looks towards the ...


...refreshments caravan which has its bunting up already.



Looking good she thinks.


They have started decorating the tables and getting things set up.



Willow is in the refreshments caravan setting up and Kiwi Sindy and Wren start to wander over to see if she needs some help.


Emily and Molly have their aprons on while they are setting up the tea and cake table.


Always good to protect their pretty dresses.


Some of the flags are out.


The table for the smaller people has been set up.


Henry is now on his way


He is escorting Everlee Rose to the party.


This is a steep hill Henry thinks, I hope the car can make it.


It does, and they park next to Kiwi Sindy's mini.


Henry goes round to the passenger door to open it for Everlee Rose.


Thank you Henry.


Shall we see what is going on?


Little Nancy and Madeline Rose arrive...I'm not quite sure how Madeline fitted in the car, but Nancy assures me she did!

Some time later...


The party is under way.


Everyone is having a grand time, the weather is good, the birds are singing...


There is plenty of good food to eat, and drinks available.





Little Amelia is pretending she is the Queen.


These four look like they are having a great time.


Peggy Sue thinks she looks 'right posh' with her hat and handbag.


Henry is eyeing up the cakes...I think Molly has told him he can't have them all!


Emily looks beautiful in her hat.


What a lovely time they are having.






They all had a really lovely Platinum Jubilee Party.

What an amazing day and incredible achievement for the Queen.
