Fashion on Friday

Well this week has been a bit of a wash out as far as the weather is concerned!  All my plans for being outside pretty much scuppered so inside activities it was. I have had a couple of days where I haven't felt the best either so I mostly knitted, but did a little sewing.  

I knitted sleeveless top  

which has been teamed with a pair of 'beach' striped crop trousers/pants.

I knitted a red jumper/sweater - a reflection of how cold it has been this week I think.

The rompers all got matching booties.

Babies need to keep their feet warm at times!

These little sets will all be going in my Etsy shop hopefully this weekend.

A couple of things were made for my other dolls, and I have some new and ongoing projects...

Fashion on Friday

I've decided to call my knitting and sewing round up for the week 'Fashion on Friday' for want of a better name.

First up is Edward modelling a sweater made with pure New Zealand Merino wool, teamed with a pair of 'Kiwiana' trousers made with some of the fabulous fabric I bought while in New Zealand in March.

Next up is Maddison modelling 'Fresh as a  Daisy' outfit, which consists of 3/4 daisy denim print trousers with a white blouse.

After modelling the lovely cream sweater last week and having to part with it, I made Marcia one of her own.

It is slightly different. and was also seen in my 'Wordless Wednesday' post.

I completed the teal tunic order and that is on its way to its new owner.

I knitted a couple of baby rompers this week as well.

Grace is wearing a lilac hues combination.

Whilst Amelia is wearing the blue one.

They look so sweet in these rompers.

Lastly I made one of my Festival Donation items for the CFA. 

Modelled by the gorgeous Monica

Most items on this page are available to purchase.  If interested in any please contact me - information on my Sales pages found here and here 

I also made a dress and headscarf for Ruby, my muse.

She too has enjoyed sitting amongst the daisies.

Thankful Thursday

Here at Rose Cottage (or should it be Daisy Fields!) we are thankful for the good weather we have had today.

The babies were out today playing on the lawn and having fun with all the daisies.

Grace and Amelia were busy concentrating...

Baby Barney Bam Bam seems to be climbing all over Alfie 

But they soon become best of friends.

They are all thankful for their newly knitted romper suits, just in time for the warmer weather.

The Trump card and Secrets....

Just after Henry had finished helping Amelia to pack....

...Peggy Sue strolls along and puts a case down...

What are you doing with that case Peggy Sue?  Henry asks.

Why, these are my things to go to the Sasha Festival of course.  She answers him.

But (and here Henry thinks he is playing a trump card)  you can't go, because not only are you NOT a Sasha, but you don't have a passport!  He proudly informs her.

Ta da!  Oh but I do!  Peggy Sue says, pulling her hand from behind her back holding a passport.

Henry is shocked.  How did you manage to get that?  He asks.

Oh well, it is like this...  Peggy Sue starts to explain how with the help of another wooden of more mature years, she managed to get a passport.

So you see, it is quite simple.  Peggy Sue continues.  There is nothing stopping me now.

Amelia crawls over to find out what is going on.

Yes Amelia, I can come as well, is that what you would like?  Peggy Sue asks her.

Looks like Amelia is happy for Peggy Sue to go...  as Henry thinks about it, still stunned by Peggy Sue's trump card, a passport, he is beginning to think Peggy Sue could be quite useful looking after baby Amelia, and thus freeing him up somewhat.

Seen early this morning...but not overheard...

I wonder what has been said and agreed upon?

Henry helps Amelia pack...

Henry is spending some of his birthday helping baby Amelia pack for the festival.  Little Alfie has decided he wants to stay and play with the boys, so Amelia gets to go.  She has heard about all the wonderful fashionable Sashas that will be going and can't wait to see some of these glamorous girls.

Henry has found Amelia's clothes and laid them out on the table.

You don't mind sharing my case do you?  He asks her.

Amelia climbs up with the support of the table to see what clothes she will be taking.  She actually doesn't have a lot of choice so it is quite easy!

Henry puts them in the case with her help.

There we go, all ready...what?  You don't know where Piglet is? Asks Henry.

Here you go, never fear.... Henry says and gives her Piglet.

Amelia looks very happy.
