Henry's Dressing Up Costumes

As an exercise in procrastination...anything is better than what I SHOULD be doing...I have been going through Henry's clothing to see just what he has.  A lot of the boy clothing I have is very specifically his - there is still plenty for the other lads as well, so don't worry, but yes Henry is rather special and has more than the others, but they all do each have some things that are particular to them.

Anyway starting off we have Henry's dressing up costumes.

The fabulous cowboy outfit that we received  in the 2012 Secret Santa Swap from Norvell.

Henry loves this outfit, especially when playing 'Cowboys and Indians', although he said so far they only have one horse and no Indians!  Looks like that might be a hint for at least another costume...we might have to ignore the one about wanting another horse.

Next up is his fabulous Harry Potter outfit and accessories that he received in the 'Back to School' Swap last year from Charla.  You might recall he almost got into trouble for using magic on poor Rory's frogs.

The King Henry V costume I made for Henry in the Dress a Sasha competition at the 2012 Sasha Festival.

Henry also has a crown and a knights helmet not yet photographed to add to this ensemble.

Henry's Train Driver outfit that I made for his holiday in Devon in 2012

Henry's Olympics outfit that he received at the Sasha Festival 2012 (Missing is the picture of the shorts and top, but Henry is shown below wearing it)

I can see at least one more costume that would be quite appropriate for Henry, especially in light of his upcoming holiday and that is a traditional Maori costume.  I might make this while in NZ as I will be more likely able to get the supplies needed to make it.

Next up:  Knitwear.

Knitted Jumpsuit

I can't remember when I knitted this jumpsuit outfit - either 2011 or perhaps in 2012 when I was in New Zealand.  I don't think anyone has really worn it, but when I put it on Sally a few weeks ago I was struck with how much it suits her younger look.  

and yet more....

It is just too wet and damp to take photos outside at the moment so having to make do with inside photos of the girls in their winter clothing.

Susan chose to wear this combination.  The sweater and hat was a lovely gift sent to me a couple of years ago made by Margaret.  The skirt I made a couple of years ago and the shoes are of course JJ Shoes.

Weaver has been seen in this before outside in the garden with Stevie but wanted some indoor photos taken as well.   I am not convinced by the tights but she thinks they look good so who am I to say otherwise...having no idea of young girls fashions nowadays.

The top is by Bev, the cardigan/jacket I knitted a couple of years ago, the skirt by Sashapotamus, tights from Michelle and boots by Lisa.

Stevie's skirt arrived last week and she has kept her purple sweater and hat on which were made by Gill I believe.  Boots by Lisa.

Lots of photos of her as I just really love this girl.

The three girls together.

A bit of a photo overload, but hey why not?

Some more winter wear.

Two more girls in some winter wear.

Mary Ellen in a skirt and sweater I made a couple of years ago.

Marcia in a sweater and hat that one of the girls was wearing when I bought her in 2011.

Teamed with a pair of jeans I made and a pair lovely JJ shoes.
