This is letter written to Santa:
Dear Secret Santa
My Sasha group live in Australia so Christmas is very
hot. It would be great to have a new summer outfit that is sewn by the secret
Santa as I do not sew! My Sasha babies would especially love a new outfit but
happy to receive something for Sasha or Gregor size if that suits you better.
Sasha babies would love shoes. Many
thanks.
Sonya.
Taking this request on board, these are the gifts I made for Sonya for the Secret Santa Swap.
Dress with matching pantaloons for Sasha (which could also be worn with a top), Matching dress for baby Sasha with shoes and some assorted toys and a Christmas stocking- not pictured.
Sonya sent a lovely photo of her Cora and baby Tilly wearing the dresses and enjoying the toys.

Next up we have photos of the lovely gifts Marijke received from her Secret Santa (DollMum)
Kiltie, Cora, Sasha, Ffion and Rowan, are playing with the skipping rope that arrived for them from Dollmum.
Marijke writes: Here are the Christmas photos, except for the
chocolate, which is partially eaten! Secret Santa Dollmum (Anna) sent clothing
for the boys and a baby, as well as toys. Caleb got dibs on the jeans, better
than the girls’ jeans, because his have pockets on the bum. Bastiaan decided as
he was blond, and blue suits blonds, he should get the royal blue long-sleeve
T-shirt. And Mimmi, with her dark colouring, looks wonderful in her short,
spotted, rose overalls; because it is winter, she is wearing them over a sweater.
Her hat was given to her by another person for Christmas, and she refuses to
remove it.
Bastiaan, Caleb, Gregor and Rufus admire the boat Dollmum sent, it is raining enough today that there are lots of puddles out there, but none of them have rain-gear as yet so they will have to test it in the bath.

Next up we have the gifts received by Miss Laird from Sadie.
The first one is of the
lovely gifts sent to my daughter by Sadie - there's a wonderful co-ordinated
outfit with top, tights and a really lovely hounds tooth pinafore. Also a
pretty party dress with a bow and a super pair of shoes which go with both
outfits. There are also some little toys for Cora to play with.
We hope you agree how
well Cora looks in her new togs and would like to say a really big THANK YOU to
Sadie for these thoughtful gifts.

Rosie's Secret Santa was Rochelle, and this is what she writes about the gifts received:
Next up a few words from
Audrey, Erica and Clara -
To thank Rochelle for
her kindness we've sent you a few pictures.
Our Mum knits ...a lot,
but she doesn't sew very well! So we asked for some skirts from Secret Santa
this year.
Just look at the
beautiful skirts which Rochelle sent to us, we hope you agree they match so
well with our sweaters.
And to keep Mum busy
there was a lovely ball of Alpaca wool - she's says it will make one of us a
really soft sweater.
Also in our parcel were
3 chocolate bars - one for each of us - Oh oh what's Lonely up to?
So many, many thanks to
Sadie, Rochelle and to you Lorraine for organising another successful swap.
I hope you have a lovely
Christmas and a wonderful 2015
Rosie

Here is Sadie's Cora dressed in the lovely outfit she received - loving the Koala on the bag and of course the one in her arm!
