Introducing Jasper

Continuing with my series of introducing my 2015 dolls I realised that I had actually introduced several of them, although not necessarily their arrival photos, so here we have:

Jasper my Autumnal boy who was introduced on 3rd October last year and you can see the post here.  I never posted his 'arrival' photos though so here they are.

He came wearing this fabulous corduroy outfit that consists of trousers and jacket with shirt.  I made his leather shoes.

A close up of his face.

Sitting with his siblings, Jacob and Jemima

With his new brother Jacob.

and a photo from the October post.

Plus three new photos of my dear Jasper.

Introducing Jacob.

Continuing on with my series of introducing the Sasha & Gregor dolls that arrived last year:

Jacob, the first course doll to arrive here at Rose Cottage was never formally introduced, although he did feature in some posts last year...

He arrived in April 2015, almost exactly a year ago, so it seems quite fitting to introduce him formally this April.

He enjoyed getting out in the garden today and is most definitely looking forward to warmer weather and spending more time outside with the other lads.

He has a smattering of freckles across his nose.

Here is his arrival photo.  Rather overdressed for Spring! Perhaps he knew in advance last year that our summer was going to be virtually non-existent?!

Here you can see his freckles better.

He couldn't wait to shed his warm coat and get outside.  Although not especially an ideal colour for outdoor play....fortunately before long he had changed into something more suitable.

Of course these photos have been seen before when he was tadpole spotting with Jemima

He tried a spot of apple picking here.

I wonder what he will get up to this year?

Reaching out....

Seeing the ladder against the tree was an opportunity too good to miss...

Gosh quite a gap between rungs...but I think I can do it...

Now if I lean forward just a little....

I might be able to reach the apple.

Just a little bit more....

...getting closer 

Got it!  

Shall I eat it now or see if Mum will use it to make an apple crumble?

Pondering decisions....

'W'

Watching

Waiting

Wondering

Why

The tadpoles haven't turned into frogs!

Walking out of the lounge today I glimpsed Bobby and Jacob sitting on the book shelf and thought they looked cute in their matching sweaters.
