Pretty in Pink - 2012

2012 saw some more girls 'Pretty in Pink' some wearing clothes I had made the year before, some wearing new clothes I had made, been given or bought.

The lovely Victoria wearing a dress I made in 2012 teamed with a pair of cute pink shoes, holding her teddy which was a gift from Harry and Harper when they came to stay.

Beads & Dresses

I managed to pick up some necklaces from the Charity Shop today - they looked like good 'possibles' in the shop, but when I got them home and tried them on Tilly Rose with her 'Yamka' dress I wasn't so convinced. Maybe I will cannibalise them and make something a bit different.

Using some vintage fabric that has been lying around for sometime I thought I would see what it looked like made up into a little dress.

Judie insisted on wearing her pink shoes with it...I tried to get her to wear a blue pair, but she wasn't having it.

Next up, while I was trying to find my tin of beads and things, I saw some fabric that would probably sew up well to make another Yamka style dress...

It is a very soft fabric and drapes well.  I teamed it with the shell beads and I think these do go nicely with the dress.

Julia agrees.

I have been enjoying looking through my Sasha books, particularly the studio dolls and their clothing - I have various ideas I want to try out - once I have sorted through to find the appropriate fabrics.

It's been a red kind of day...

Claudius just adores his big brother Rory and follows him around everywhere if he gets the opportunity.  I think this photo sums up how much he looks up to him.

Getting the three boys together and still for a photo shoot takes some doing!

Even cheeky Ginger George behaved  himself....I was to find out later he must have been promised a ride in trolley in the garden as when I looked out later this is what I saw:

Cousin Hamish stepped up to the occassion by pulling the trolley.

I would have loved to have known what they were discussing, but could only guess as it was too cold for me outside!

I see both Kermit and Ginger George's monkey also went for the ride.

Ah, it looks like Claudius must have asked for a ride as well.

What great boys they are!

It also looks like Judie and Julie decided to go for a stroll in the garden as well.  I wonder what they were discussing?
