Advent Day Fifteen

Do you want to help me today Molly?  Rory asks.

Oh Rory, I'd love to.  Molly replies.

Today is the 15th isn't it?  Only 10 more days until Christmas Day!  Rory both asks and states.

I know, isn't it exciting?  Molly replies.  Now where is the door for number 15?

There it is, I've found it!  Rory points.

Rory reaches over to open the door with Molly watching on.

I wonder what is inside today?  He asks.

He reaches inside...

...and pulls out the little package.

Look Molly!  He says.

Lots of little birds in here.

Just look at them, we will have fun with these.  We must let them out of the bag quickly!

Aren't these two cute Molly?  Rory shows them to Molly.

Look how they are perching on my hand!

Shall we put them on the scene Rory? Molly asks.

I'll put the snow here....

Molly places the snow on a branch

I'll put the little red bird - I think it must be a robin, on here shall I?  Rory asks.

There he goes.

They hang up the bird feeder.  

It is very important that there is plenty of food provided for the birds at this time of the year as they need a lot to keep warm. Rory explains to Molly.

The birds look quite happy.

Rory stands patiently for his Christmas photo.

Rory is an early waif, I am guessing very early 70s.

I love his eyes, and they were what drew me to him.

Funny how the camera picks up things you've never noticed!  

Molly opened the door on the second day and I wasn't taking their 'Christmas Photo's' then so she is having hers taken today as well.

Molly is my early 70s waif and the second Sasha girl I bought.  She has always been one of my favourites and is a sweet girl.

She has had her eyes touched up slightly, and may one day have them done 'properly' but I love her just how she is at present.

My waif gets hair.

Before I went to the Sasha Festival I made a request on the Sasha Mart for where to get wigs from.  I had a little Gregor Waif with no hair whom I wanted to re-wig with red hair until I learn to re-root, or can afford to have re-rooted.  Ted kindly spent some time with me discussing wigs and with emails flying back and forth between us we finally settled on one which arrived while I was away.

Well with much fiddling around yesterday afternoon I managed to get the wig to fit - I seemed to be all fingers and thumbs.  I gave the fringe a trim and then dressed my poor little fellow to see what he looked like with hair.

Here he is outside looking at the lilies that have come out to flower while I have been away.

I love the way they highlight his red hair.

He is dressed in Henry's DD outfit that I bought last year at a Sasha Fun Day at Dawn Law's and the wonderful Union Jack Festival trainers that we were given at the Festival.

Not quite the scruffy red head I had envisioned in my mind, but I like the look nevertheless.

More Festival posts tomorrow as we are off to see my son's university shortly.
