Aysha the musician

Aysha wants to learn to play the Cello


Aysha is going to her first music lesson
She is wearing her new white dress made by Michelle. It is tied with a ribbon at the back.
Two white dresses, Aysha??? Well, you never know...


This is going to be a lot harder than she thought!
It will be worth it in the end, Aysha! Trust me.

Tabatha's Tea Party


Tabatha, nearly 3 years old, is arranging a tea party for the Sashas.
Help was offered – but not accepted!
 
Tabatha seems quite pleased with the arrangements so far, but more is needed!
 
That’s better! Can’t leave out the others!
Although she did have a bit of trouble getting them all to sit!
 
Fine use was made of all the available hats, you have to agree!
I think it is safe to say, that here we have another Sasha fan in the making!


Tabatha’s favourite Sasha???
Well, the one in the pink Tutu of course!

Babies etc. etc.

Babies


Having made a start to put some of the boys' stuff on my blog, I think it is time to admit that there are also a few Sasha babies in the mix. They are very much neglected, poor things. One has gone to my youngest Granddaughter last Christmas and is much loved and played with! Sasha Morgenthaler would certainly approve of that. The others usually sit on the shelf in the same outfit year in and year out. One of them will be going off to be restrung shortly. I bought her on ebay not so long ago, because I actually felt sorry for her! Apart from her hair sticking up like a bottle brush and the strings being very loose, there is not a lot wrong with her. Her hair reminds me a bit of Yasmin's when she was born, so I have named her 'Baby Yasmin'. There is also a 'Baby Peter' and a 'Baby Tabatha'.

from left to right: Yasmin, dress 'Alexissofie', Peter, outfit 'Alexissofie', Tabatha, dress 'Sashadolls'

Is this a book I see before me? Now who is going to read us a story!

Here is Hanna! Thank goodness she can read!

Henry's Groupies


In this picture, the boys are wearing 'Henry's fashion' by Lorraine. I think 'smart casual' is a good description for this 'look'.



The beige shirt is by 'Alexissofie'
