SLATE EYED GIRLS

Sasha

With the arrival of my new slate eyed waif , I now have four girls, although technically I have five because a brunette will be arriving soon.    Here is a photo of the four Ava, Simone, Waif and Callie.   It is so strange how things with Sasha’s go round in circles! I have owned another red haired Slate girl and also a blonde. Both were beautiful Sasha’s and I wish I had kept them especially the red ! But as is usual they were sold on to help fund another Sasha. The one I had the hardest trouble finding and buying was the brunette! Don’t ask me why, that’s just how it happened either when I saw one that appealed I had no funds or it was already sale pending. When I owned two reds I bought them together because I could not decide between them, which should have told me never to sell one of them!,and I again struggled to find a blonde,  bought one who was lovely, then sold her on because I could never remember her name! and did not do anything with her!! I do find that if I cannot remember their names they tend not to stay long?    So now that I have two blondes and two brunettes I will need to find another Red! I’m blaming Gill because of  her six gorgeous Slate eyed girl photo’s. And I am considering having a go at re rooting my new waif myself!! Yes I did just type that, it’s only the top of her head! How hard can it be? First I need to consult the experts on where to obtain needles and hair etc and how to go about it! Then Paul will have to take the poor girl’s head off! That’s just something I cannot face doing!! but I will say that all those people who re root for others should check their in box after I start, there could be an email requesting the imminent arrival of a half re rooted blonde in need of saving!!!    So here is a closer look at the Slated eyed girls who are awaiting the arrival of their brunette sister and a possible hair op!!
If I do try re rooting I will keep you all informed of my progress or non progress!! You have been warned…

THREE BLONDES IN THE SUN

Today the no navel blondes got to change into some beautiful smocked dress by the lovely Lesley of Special delivery on E bay.   First is Ashley wearing a pretty yellow dress with tiny red dots and smocking. .    A closer view.   She is wearing Rosie Bloomfield shoes in pale yellow.    You can see that the sun was shining over on the left, it’s been a lovely day, quite windy at times.   Ashley is one of only two no navels i have with the full eye paint.   Now up is Agnetha wearing a lovely deep blue and green smocked dress by the lovely Lesley.   She has lovely bright blue eyes.   A closer view. Bathed in sunlight   Her green shoes are by Lisa Hartley.   And now Sansa my only brown eyed no navel blonde.   I love how Sansa’s fringe falls away to the side.   Her shoes are by Jean Jensen.   What’s not to love about these girls?   A last closer view.   From the left Sansa , Agnetha and Ashley.   What a line up! Sansa’s moved to stand between her two blue eyed sisters.   A head and shoulders view.    So that’s now all the no navel girls changed into pretty smocked dresses ready for the summer which appears to be arriving!
So Seven no navel girls! have no idea how that happened when I only wanted one of each hair colour but I do find these girls addictive….

SIGNS OF WINTER AND THE RAVEN

Yes there will always be signs of Winter in the village because that is the name of my brown eyed brunette No navel .Here she is wearing a beautiful smocked and rarely available dress by the lovely and talented Catherine French. These brunette no navel’s have very thick hair, it’s almost as if they knew that the Trendon’s hair would fall so they made sure that should it happen to a Gotz no navel there’d be enough to last a good few years before you even noticed! Winter does have a very petite face with a nice pointed chin giving her a young pixie look.   Now we have my other no navel brunette raven who also has very thick hair. She is wearing a smocked dress set by Ruth Hartley of Ruthsdolls. I have always thought that Raven having the blue eyes should have been called Winter and therefore Winter, Raven! But once a name is giving it’s too late to change!  another sweet no navel girl   Could you stand together girls? That’s better ! Oh the sun is in your eyes Winter , well lets move over to the left.  That’s better the sun’s behind you now.    I do like the lilac/purple on these two girls.
Well now it’s just the blonde no navels that need changing…do I have any dresses for them? I’d best go check!!

RED IN GREEN MUST BE SEEN

I managed to change another couple of the girls yesterday while sorting out the boys! So Ginny and Martha my red haired No Navel girl’s agreed to have a few photo’s taken.   First up is Ginny   She is a favourite I must confess!   Wearing her favourite Karen smocked dress and Rosie Bloom shoes.   Now it’s Martha with her hair tied back with a ribbon.   Martha wants to take off the ribbon and let her hair flow free.   Martha is much happier now!   Martha is another favourite!!   Ginny once again   such a little sweetie Just love this girl!   Now both girls together. Do you think you can stand a little closer?   That’s better. Martha is older than Ginny by a couple of years and Ginny is much shyer!   They love playing together and Martha looks out for Ginny.    I must confess I never thought I would get a full blue eyed, red haired no navel girl for years but then again I never thought I’d managed to get any red haired no navel, so just goes to show you never ever know what’s just round the corner!!

I know I should not complain but it was so sunny this evening it was hard to get a true colour on the photo’s due to where I needed to stand the girls!But after three photo shoots at three different times this evening , I finally managed to get all the photo’s I needed!

Now A question! The gorgeous Ginny has three rows of hair missing under her fringe , I am at some stage going to have it re rooted but until then I was wondering if I should get rid of the two lower rows of stubble? If you look at some of the closer photo’s of Ginny, you can see the rows quite clearly, so I am wondering if it would not be so obvious if it was just a row of tiny holes??

WHAT’S IT TO BE!!

wheelbarrow

Robin’s out in the garden looking for Erik.   He comes across the twins garden shed, seeing they have left out one of their wheelbarrows , he pulls the door open to put it away. He is surprised to find Erik inside. ” What are you doing? ” asks Robin ” Checking this place out!” replies Erik ” I don’t know why it needs to be a shed for Violet and Sapphire!” he complains ” What about us! This would make a great den!”  “Yes it would ” agrees Robin ” but the twins would have nowhere to keep their tools! ”    “They could keep them with Mum and Dad’s things! ” argues Erik ” Then we could use this for a den!” “I cannot see that happening!” says Robin ” Dad made this especially for the twins.Anyway you can give me a ride in that wheelbarrow !”   They’d been playing with the wheelbarrow for a while when they hear the sound of someone coming!     Percy and Valentine come into view.      “What are you doing with that wheelbarrow ?” calls out Percy ” Erik’s been pushing me round the garden” Robin shouts back as the others get nearer. “Why are you wearing that hat ? ” asks Erik ” Because it looks stylish!” Valentine states ” It does? ” questions Erik ” Yes!” says Valentine firmly “Ok if you say so” replies Erik thinking he’d not wear a hat like that! Robin who is now out of the wheelbarrow says ” It also stops him from getting burnt skin and sun stroke!” ” It does? .. I mean yes it does!” agrees Valentine ” and it’s stylish!” ” I’m still not wearing that!” states Erik “Come on!” says Percy getting impatient ” Lets play with the wheelbarrow, I’ll get in and one of you can push me!”    Percy gets himself comfortable in the wheelbarrow. “Well! which one of you is going to push me!” Valentine says ” Sorry I twisted by foot on a stone and can barely walk! I cannot rush up and down the garden pushing that!” Robin says ” Sorry I fell over earlier and grazed my knee, that’s why Erik was doing the pushing!” ” Great!” says Erik in disbelief ” It looks like it’s me again!” Erik grabs the wheelbarrow handles and sets off down the path running, Robin and Valentine can hear Percy laughing and urging Erik to go faster! They are gone for a while, it’s a far way down all those paths to the greenhouse and back! But then Erik returns drops the handles and throws his hands up saying” That’s it no more!” Valentine’s a little disappointed , he was hoping to go next! But he can see Erik’s all red in the face and puffing!. Percy offers to take Erik round in the wheelbarrow but Erik’s fed up with playing with it, so says no thanks !  Erik’s tired and hot and fed up! ” It’s not fair that the girl’s have a shed! I think Dad should make us boys something” ” Like what ?” asks Valentine ” A Castle? ” suggests Percy ” I could help him!” he smiles liking the idea. ” A Cave?” puts in Robin ” or a caravan?” he warms to his theme ” then we could get a horse to pull us round the lanes and go to the seaside and sleep in it and..” “No ” says Erik ” None of them! What we need is a Viking Long ship!” he finishes with a firm nod of his head.  “Why would we want a Viking Long Ship? ” says Valentine bewildered ” I get seasick in the bath!” ” I’d rather have a castle or a caravan ” states Robin “Me too!” agrees Percy ” Me three!” says Valentine “Well I’m going to ask dad first so he’ll make my Long ship ” states Erik turning to walk away Suddenly Robin runs past him  shouting ” Dad ! Dad ! can you build me a Caravan!”followed by Percy who grabs the back of Robin’s hood to pull him back while shouting ” Dad! we want a castle! Not some old Caravan ” ” Hoy ! Let go !” shouts Robin twisting ,Erik starts running to catch up ” A long ship Papa ! A Long ship!”   Valentine, walking slowly at the back due to his poor foot , wonders if Dad would make him a studio so he can keep fabric and plans of his idea’s for furniture and clothes!
He’ll not bother shouting like the other’s,  because he knows Dad just went down the garden centre to get some plant or other, no he’ll have a look at that plant book Dad was studying and maybe get Mum to order a few tulip bulbs that Dad would like!…….

Dolly Doodles, summer wear, Valentine

Finally four of the boys got changed into summer wear! Only Zak is left, he’s got a cold so is refusing to change until he feels warmer! Poor lad!   First up is Robin , in a blue and white set by Judith of Dolly Doodles.   Robin is a sweet boy who likes everyone to be happy.   Next up is Erik wearing another blue and white set by Judith. Erik believes he is a Viking and enjoys a rough and tumble.   Now we have Percy in a grey and white set by Judith of DD fame. Percy likes working with wood and therefore Dad. He plans on building his own house when he grows up.   Lastly we have Valentine in a green set by Judith.   Valentine loves clothes and furnishing, so wants to be a designer when he grows up, He’s told Percy he’ll design all his interiors …Percy’s not too sure!! Here they all are showing off Judith’s lovely summer wear.  Pardon Valentine? Oh you just want to let Judith know that you’d like a nice red set! When she decides to stop enjoying her retirement and get back to work!! Oh I’ll tell her you said that! Pardon ? oh and you’d like to go and watch how she works and…give her a few tips…mmm….let’s hope Judith’s on holiday at the moment and does not see this!!!   Erik, Robin, Valentine and Percy.

 

Boy’s you are standing a little close to the edge there!

 

Can you go play now? Of course you can…..

HATTIE HATS EARLY DAYS

 

While searching through some photo’s I came across this early one of Hattie’s Hat’s with Hattietude!!
Of these nine Sasha’s only three remain, Violet in the front, Sophie to her right and Hattie next to Sophie.
The hats were made with a beautiful thick cotton yarn and made big to frame the face.

I will have to re shoot the photo with nine of the Sasha’s that now live here but will first have to see if I still have any of these hats left!
