The Christmas Countdown has begun.

 

 Well it is exactly a month until Christmas Day so the Sasha Haven family have started dressing for Christmas.  Molly and Summer got down the Christmas dresses box, and rummaged through to choose what they would like to wear.

Summer chose this pretty star dress as it had yellow in it, and yellow is a summer colour, which of course Summer loves.

Molly chose red, which is not unusual for her as she looks so good in it.

The Christmas Countdown has begun.

A Simple Summer Swap - Gifts Received Part Four

A package arrived for me from the USA today.  I was quite surprised as I wasn't expecting anything....or so I thought...and then I remembered!  The other swap gift had arrived.  I ended up doing two swaps as I had originally paired DollMum with someone else, but they never got back in contact with me to confirm details and that they definitely wanted to do the swap despite several emails, so I swapped with DollMum as well, (you can see the post of what I received and sent  here).

Anyway this swap gift was from Gill, who was partnered with me.

I am absolutely in awe of the amazing swimsuit, sandals and sun visor cap.

Danni seems pretty pleased with it, and it was the perfect weather to wear it as well as it is finally warm and sunny!

Along with the swimsuit there is a little matching skirt, beach towel, bag and of course the goodies that are necessary for sustenance! 

Dozing in the sun...glad to see you are in the shade Danni so you don't get sunburnt.

Thank you so very much Gill, I just LOVE these little set, it is wonderful!

So what did I send Gill - did it match up to her expectations....I hope so!

A pretty little sun dress modelled by Charlotte.

A beach towel and beach bag.

I do hope Gill liked the things I sent her.

Some sewing

Trying to fit in some sewing in a busy schedule where we have lots on and various different appointments and meetings as well as trying to prepare for a holiday.

Tilly Rose is modelling this outfit made from New Zealand fabric - Pohutukawa & Tui Top with cropped 'distressed' jeans. 

I love the vibrant colours of this top and think it is perfect for the summer.

This outfit is Sold.

Next up are two little dresses again made with New Zealand fabrics 'Blue Koru' design.

Danni and Alice are modelling these two dresses.

Interestingly I tried a blonde longer wig on Danni today and it REALLY DID NOT suit her at all - this IS her look.

Alice is very petite so this dress is a tad on the large size for her, but she still thinks it is fun to wear.

I have also made six pairs of jeans, three cropped and three long.

Next sewing is my swap gifts which I hope to make a start on tomorrow.   

Actually I have part of one outfit already partially made.  I hope everyone else is getting on with their swap projects.  One participant has already finished and posted hers...and I must say it looks absolutely wonderful!  But won't reveal until all the swaps have been sent and received...we have a little time yet!
