Sunday Summary - Knitting & Sewing

I have done quite a lot of knitting and sewing over the last couple of weeks.  Mostly for dolls other than Sasha, but also some for Sasha/Gregor.

I will show the Sasha/Gregor items first.



Blue hues, a pretty variegated cardigan, perfect with jeans or over a dress, and just in time for the cold weather! 



I love this wool and colour, I knitted a cardigan with it that I sold with a patchwork skirt and wished I'd kept it, so knitted a sweater with what I had left over.




This pretty dress was snapped up instantly!  They are such pretty colours and something a little different for Sasha.




I designed this simple 'Night Owl' sweater and can see me making some more of these.  Probably better for the more petite Sasha/Gregor, but Susan thinks it is great with jeans.


Knitted with lovely NZ 100%  Merino wool.




Getting ready for Christmas this is a really soft variegated yarn.




The dress that Maddison was modelling above also fitted Peggy Sue who is now disappointed to learn that it won't be hers!


Some pretty Christmas/Party dresses for American Girl dolls.







Lovely long cardigan for Peggy Sue


Which was eventually teamed with a skirt...


...and a knitted short sleeve top


Complete outfit.

I did quite a bit of 'tiny' knitting.

I made a few things for Mini American Girl Melody


This is one


This is another.



I knitted a little wardrobe for my childhood Perfekta doll who had been um, rather neglected for quite a few years and had no clothes!








I also did a little sewing...


This dress is probably going to be for Peggy Sue's birthday...

I also made some Hitty clothes.


A dress for Christmas (I have so far made two of these, one of which was an order)


Knitted a cardigan and made a skirt for Hitty Madge


Another dress (two made like this)


A dress for spring/summer (Two made)



Stripes!

I have also ventured into doll making.


Lucy, and as yet un-named.


Three little dolls for dolls (I want to make at least another two)


A little 6 1/2 inch doll  'Beth Ann' 

and finally my favourite so far, a Raggedy Ann style doll whom I have named Esme.  She is 10 inches tall.

Birthday Party Time! - Opening the Presents


While Little Owen keeps the companions busy and entertained....


Peggy Sue unwraps her birthday presents!


First up is this lovely gift bag from Italy!  A most unexpected surprise.


Oh wow, a beautiful bag.  Peggy Sue exclaims.


A closer view, what lovely work.


There is another little gift as well, a gorgeous red necklace.


Look, isn't it beautiful?  Peggy Sue asks as she shows it off.

Thank you so very much, to 'Cataddict's' girls!


Oh, what is this?  Another little gift.


This one is from the Sasha girls at Rose Cottage.


Oh look!


My very own skipping rope!  It has such beautiful handles.


The girls all admire the skipping rope and hope they get a turn with it as well!


Oh, my a hobby horse, for when I can't go outside!  Peggy Sue says.


She gives her horse a big hug.


Giddy-up!  Peggy Sue says..



Meanwhile Little Owen is telling the companions a story...


...about his adventures....with lots of embellishments by the looks of things!


Peggy Sue has a ride round on her new hobby horse.


Emily and Edith discuss skipping and various skipping games...




Peggy Sue gives the other girls a ride.


Stevie has a turn first.


With her new bag over her shoulder, Peggy Sue chats to Nettie and Saige


I think she might be suggesting a shopping outing!


Now she has a bag, she just needs some pocket money and off they can go!


Party fun!
