A Musical Soiree?

Some of the girl have formed an eclectic band of sorts...it is all 'top secret' apparently, but I have heard various noises sounds coming from the music room...

I see we have Sasha and Maddison on the maracas, although Maddison still wants a drum set, Stevie is on recorder, Molly hand drum and Emily on the harmonica.

Elsewhere...

Peggy Sue is making sweet sounds on her saxophone.

A Summer Music Festival.

Hey guess what?  Henry asks the girls.

What? They chorus

There is going to be a Summer Music Festival.  He tells them.

It should be lots of fun!  He says.  Are any of you interested?

Well I don't play anything... Maddison says.  But I can sing.  Of course I WOULD play Bass Guitar or Drums but we don't have EITHER of those.  

Drums?  Stevie asks doubtfully.

Bass Guitar?!  Emily says...'Yeah okay Maddison.

It's true, I'm a natural!  Maddison retorts.

Peggy Sue thinks it is best to intervene and distract them before things get out of hand.  Well I play 'cello and saxophone, although mainly 'cello of late.

I must get practising. 

Emily looks on...I can do any organising she says.  I am quite good at that.  Oh and baking, I like baking.  What about Edith?  Will she play her flute?

If we can find it.  Henry says.  Edith is worried she might have left it at school.  She is rather distraught at the moment.

Currently we have the following instruments available, guitar, piano, violin - I think that is Anne-Marie's, and a clarinet.

Lots of discussions ensue about who is going to play what and wondering what the programme will be like.  Apparently they have to submit what they will be playing for the concert programme in time for the printing.

Pretty in Pink - 2016

Susan in a newly made pink dress.

The ever so gorgeous Meredith

Next up some older photos, but taken this year.

Madison in her glorious pink boots, skirt and sweater.

Jemima looking studious in her pink dress and spectacles.

The stunning Tui Renate in her pink sweater and striped pink skirt.

Madison again, modelling the pink tulip dress and leggings.

There are probably many more possibilities of dresses the girls up in other permutations of pink...but some have refused to change out of what they are currently wearing!

Pretty in Pink - 2015

I was surprised at how few 'pink' photos there were last yar!

There are pink stripes in Stevie's shirt - but it is more purples really.

This lovely dress worn by Cora is of course pink and has featured previous years.

Meredith has been seen wearing this before as well - seems it is a favourite of hers.

Cora modelling a very dark pink tunic dress

There is a little pink in this dress worn by Monica

That is it!

Rather a surprise to me.

The next 'Pretty in Pink' post will of course be for this year and so will see some new photos - I will have fun looking out some pink clothes for the girls to wear.

All dolls still with me.

Pretty in Pink - 2014

It seems 2014 wasn't an especially popular year for pink with quite a few of the dresses having been shown in previous years, but being worn by different girls.

Meredith is seen the garden wearing this dress I made a couple of years previously.

Little Erica Michelle wearing a little pink dress

Mary-Ellen in a knit sweater made a couple years previously.

Weaver in a right mix of clothing!  Only the cardigan was made by me.

Victoria in one of my hand knitted tunic dresses and tights made by me.

Sasha in tunic and hat made by myself.
