HERE COME THE BOYS


A Passion for Dollydoodles! 

I don’t know how it happened, but I now have 8 boys! All very cute, none of them very special, and clearly one or two of them de trops! So there weren’t enough Dollydoodles outfits to go around and the same goes for Passion for Sasha, so we mixed and matched! Also, the light in the room is still not too good, but one gets the general idea.
 




 
I had to put them in my blog. There were complaints that it's all about the girls! Now; which one of you would like to go to a new home, I wonder...

MORE GIRLS AND THEIR DRESSES...


I have finally finished dressing the remaining girls in warmer outfits. They are now occupying the entire shelf looking pretty and snug and the boys are lining up on the sofa for their make-over. I keep asking myself whether this is a good use of my time! Can’t ask anyone else, as the answer which will surely come back will be a decided ‘NOOOOOOOO’!
 
I managed to pick up one more item from Vintage Sasha’s wonderful selection at the Chat ‘n Snap. Aliyah is a cutie and I though she ought to wear this dungarees outfit. As it is a bit summery, I have topped it with a lovely jacket from Karen Wanaka. It reminds me of an Austrian ‘Jopperl’ and I simply couldn’t resist buying it
 
 

(What on earth is baby Yasmin up to!!!)

 
A couple of cosy sweater dresses. The grey one is a Freda Ainsley’s creation and is worn by Lissi. Diane Duke made the other one, modelled by Natasha. I have posted these in the past, but was wondering what they would look like on another Sasha. Tights by Michelle.  

 
Imogen and Rebecca are wearing ‘A Passion for Sasha’ dresses. I love these Autumn colours. Ginny’s dresses fit the larger Sashas extremely well, I think.
 

 

Poppy, my Slate-eyed Götz girl is wearing a tartan dress made by Jadzia. It is beautifully made, as are all her clothes. Very Christmassy already!


Lara is wearing a dress made by Stela with a jacket made by Hagnolly for a toddler. The skirt on Aysha is also by Stela and topped by a Gillian Nash sweater. Very stylish, I think!
 

Finally we have Tabatha and Yasmin in Hagnolly kilts with Gillian Nash sweaters (and socks). They are sporting a couple of really great Berets made by Dee. I bought those at the Chat ‘n Snap and I think I shall have to try and buy some more! They have an excellent fit and are really well made. Very pleased with my purchase, there!

A LOVELY TIME WAS HAD BY ONE AND ALL AT...

 

‘DEE’S ' CHAT 'n SNAP' 

 

Following Dee’s very successful ‘Do’ a few new outfits (although never enough) have appeared in the Sasha wardrobe. After a bit of an unseemly scramble here are the ‘winners’ getting ready to have their pictures taken in the new outfits. Iona always looks a bit of a scruff so Hanna and Molly are trying to tidy her up as best they can.
 
 
Hanna has chosen to wear a 'Vintage Sasha' dress. Very smart and sophisticated. I can't believe I actually managed to get hold of one! It was touch and go!!! Hanna chose to wear the blue shoes for practical purposes.
 
Iona has decided on a  'Passion for Sasha' dress which really suits her. Lovely soft material and a very pretty colour. Iona, you are looking really neat today. Not a hair out of place. I hardly recognise you!
 
 
Molly is wonderfully cosy in a 'Gillian Nash' creation. The outfit is completed by tights from 'Michelle'. They are soft and extremely well-fitting. I just love stripes.
 
 
The fashion show continues with the four Trendon Redheads. Zoe has had her hair re-conditioned. I got a tip from Chris (I think) who recommended washing the hair with near boiling water containing a lot of conditioner. Then washing the hair with a good shampoo and conditioning it again. Zoe’s hair was rather dry and stiff with split ends. It came out beautifully soft and I am very pleased with the result. It could all have gone horribly wrong, of course! Luckily it didn’t!

 
Zoe is wearing a dress made by Jadzia. It is one I really love and I am sure I have posted photos of it before, but never mind! Some things are worth a second  (or third) look!

 
Everyone will recognise the Ruthsdolls Annaliese-style smocked dress. Clearly a favourite with Tagan.
 
 
Sophie and Phoebe are both wearing dresses by ‘A Passion for Sasha’. Sophie’s dress has the classic Sasha look. I am very fond of checks and I love the colour.
 
 
I managed to snap up Sophie’s dress at the Chat 'n Snap – and a few other items as well. Then I made the mistake of looking on Ginny’s Etsy website when I got home and saw that lovely cinnamon button-through. Phoebe seems quite pleased with it.


These are some of my favourite outfits. There are some more to come. It is fun taking photographs of the Sashas and then to display them on the blog. For my own amusement and record as much as anything. I am bound to start repeating myself, as I have not added to my Sasha collection nor have I bought all that many new clothes to make it interesting. It might soon get too boring to continue! I may need to find a completely new angle...
