A New Dress for Maddison

Maddison is one of the girls I nearly took to the Sasha Festival but was pulled out of the case just before I walked out the door for the trip to the airport.  It only seemed fair that she got to wear the lovely little dress that Norvell had made.  (This style of dress was made as Norvell's table hostess gift)

She thought it went well with her favourite pink boots made by Marti.

Love the dress and the sweet little roses on it are quite apt for those that live here at Rose Cottage.

Thank you very much for the lovely dress Norvell.

Some New Zealand Dresses for my own girls.

After making the dresses for sale the other day I decided I would also make my girls some (I already had some from last year) and like I did with the Christmas dresses, make enough for all of them.  Sadly some of the dresses I have sold in the past I no longer have the fabric for, so was unable to duplicate those which is a shame.

Marcia, has on 'NZ Postage Stamps'

All the stamps have something that represents the beautiful country that New Zealand is.

Alice is wearing 'Paua Shells.  Paua is used in lots of jewellery and other gifts.  It is also quite a nice shell fish and I remember as a child having Paua Fritters from the takeaway shop.

Monica is wearing the bright and colourful 'Jazzy' New Zealand animals, all animals that you can find in the wild (and not so wild) New Zealand.

Somem of the animals include the Kiwi, Pukeko, Tuatara, Wood Pigeon, Sheep, Deer, Wild Boar

Great fun!

Sweet Charlotte is wearing a dress representing the Silver Fern, a well known emblem of New Zealand.

My delightful Cora is wearing 'Krazy' Pukeko...her brother Caleb has a shirt made out of this fun fabric.

I really love this girl.

Sweet Mary Ellen is wearing 'Kiwis in the bush'

Meredith is wearing 'Red Koru'.  

Sadly the blue is the fabric I no longer have left...I should have thought to have made one for my girls as well as the ones I sold.

Another little Christmas Tree

The children are lucky enough to have two Christmas trees this year as if you recall I found one at the Charity Shop for £2.50 with all its decorations already on.  Meredith was able to keep it secret from the other girls...you can just see her standing behind Lucy.

Monica is having a good look at all the decorations.  Hopefully they will be able to make some more to add to the tree.  Amber on the right seems to have seen something she likes as well.

Tilly Rose has chosen a Christmas dress to wear and looks very pretty in it indeed.  I love the pose she chose.
