Paula/Plum's Easter gift to the Brood

Whilst I have finally mastered my wordpress blog I still haven't got to grips with this blogspot due to their recent changes so I'm redirecting you (if you'd like to click on the link below) to take you to my latest post.

http://kendalssashabrood.wordpress.com/2012/04/27/paulaplums-easter-gift-to-the-brood/

It is also much easier to leave a comment here. (Your email address that you are asked to leave at first will not be shown on the blog.)

Redirecting you to...........

I feel that the time has now come when I should be standing on my own two feet and not asking my wonderful friend Sarah to re-size and download my photos onto my blog for me. She assures me that it's no trouble but I know that it is so have spent most of yesterday struggling to master both my blogs but am only having success with the Wordpress one that my daughter set me up with at Christmas when Blogger were messing around and my followers couldn't leave any comments. I'm still unable to re-size the photos on this blog so that they automatically show up in the large format so until I master that skill I'll have to hopefully redirect you to my Wordpress version by clicking on the link below.

http://kendalssashabrood.wordpress.com/

I sincerely hope that I don't lose any of you wonderfully supportive Sasha followers due to this. Meanwhile I'll still keep on trying to learn how it is done here.
Sasha love from a very stressed and frustrated with her lack of IT skills, Kendal.

My birthday cards

Here are my lovely birthday cards. Many thanks to all of you who so kindly sent them. (Please left click on the photo to enlarge it. I'm still trying to master the skills needed to add the photos in already in a large format.)

My very first Sasha jumper

This is my very first Sasha jumper that my local Sasha and teacher friend beautifully knitted for my dolls back 'in the the years (1997) when I was young/er'.....
.....and shown here against my new improvised backcloth (a sheet of wrapping paper found in our local post office for 99pence) having recently admired Shelly's new graffiti wall backcloth. (Nowhere near as nice I agree but will do for the present.)


In my early Sasha collecting years there weren't many Sasha seamstresses around and they certainly weren't available over the internet. Ruth Hartley was the only one that I remotely knew of then and as I hadn't a computer myself it wasn't easy to contact her. A few years later at the age of 62 with the money that my father gave me for my 60th birthday I got a laptop and joined the Sasha_Mart and Sasha-L where I managed to get a copy of the Golden Hands knitting pattern for this cable knit jumper.

Kate, who I had just helped start on her Sasha collecting offered to knit me one up. Even though she was following the instructions to a 'T' it turned out a little larger than we had expected but nevertheless we were 'over the moon' with it. My Sashas and Gregors both took turns in wearing it over the original denim Trendon jeans. 'We' thought we were as the expression goes...'the cat's pyjamas!'

I have teamed it here with some Dollydoodle's leggings and a vintage-sasha beret borrowed from another outfit and a pair of lilac converses. Much appreciated thanks Sarah for these re-sizings and yesterday's helpful phone call concerning the Blogger changes.

Another Birthday Present Arrives

I'm not sure if I can cope with this latest Blogger change at my age and with my limited IT skills but will have a go today but it is definitely making my mind up now to completely abandon here and take Kendal's Sasha Brood over to my wordpress blog for good.
Here we have my recently bought 1968 Single Fringe real waif girl wearing one of Thelma's/Molly's lovely little cardi's given to me by Susan Bugler Pomeroy for a second birthday present. A million/trillion thanks Susan for giving us such another gorgeous gift as well as the very pretty vintage-sasha dress outfit.

I have popped it over a Pinestreetstudio dress and beret to combat these rather chilly winds that we have been having of late after those three lovely weeks of Summer weather back in March.

I am rather 'taken' with this side view photo showing the full cardigan in greater detail.

I have teamed it up with commercially manufactured socks and shoes to bring out the cardigans multi-colours of deep reds, oranges, greys and a hint of black.

I am 'over the moon' Susan with your superb choices of Sasha clothing which must have really challenged you somewhat considering that you haven't any of the Sasha girls yourself as you only collect the Sasha babies....although I know that ONE lone Gregor has crept in along the way.
Tons of thanks to Sarah who not only had to list the resized photos but spend a GOOD deal of time trying to sort me out with all this new Blogger format.

My first dress from..........

....Francis (eBay ID egdonbooks) and shown here on my 1966 Frido Developmental Jeans/Farmpants girl.



She is seen in the two photos below againgst my new trial textured background using Ted Menten's advice, help and instructions.



My apologies here Francis as it looks like I haven't done up the top press stud at the neck....(but for those who have seen my now completely curled inwards crippled Arthritic hands will understand just how hard it is for me to do these little things.)



Back to my usual grey backcloth and showing the two little mother of pearl carved buttons that are stitched to the bodice.



Francis describes this as 'an old fashioned sort of dress made out of patchwork using Liberty Print cotton pieces (possible vintage?) and toning silks.'



I have teamed it with my OOAK JJ navy Mary-Jane shoes and tan socks to bring out the dress' colouring.



Loving the little floral collar.



Apologies for the usual unwanted stray hairs across her face. Unfortunately these are fast becoming my unwanted trade mark as even now after all this time I completely forget to try to brush them aside before photographing.



Millions of thanks again Sarah.
(There might not be any listings here tomorrow or the next few days as Sarah/Esme's computer has decided not to co-operate or in fact even start up. Good luck with hopefully getting it seen to or repaired in the meantime.)

Side-tracking today........

....From my birthday gifts....although I still need to continue with showing a couple more after taking the photos.

Actually got to vintage-sasha's blog in time today (although two other Sasha people had already beaten me to it!) to choose and buy this really dainty little shorts and smock set from the outfits that were left.



I chose this 1969 Frido girl who now wears a Global Cossette wig (unfortunately now discontinued) to firstly wear this lovely little outfit.



She insisted that she wanted to be taken in front of the beautiful English country garden backcloth that Shelly gave me for my birthday.



The green print of her dress really enhances and compliments both her and the scenery.



This little tot, who I remember originally was a Party Dress doll though with badly falling hair that I finally had to cut off (hence the wigging) has been with me over many years now and I love her sweet face and soft overall colouring.
Have again saved my favourite photo of these few until the last.



Yet more grateful thanks Sarah for the listing of these photos. Sarah informs me that Blogger has been updated again and has kindly offered to help and talk me through the changes on the phone when it happens to mine. How kind and thoughtful is that?

My second present from Uncle Steve

'Look everyone, we've got another present here from Uncle Steve!'



He opens the box wider and carefully and excitedly lifts out the contents whilst the others look on in excitment and anticipation.



Nik holds up a gorgeous little grey Steiff bear in a sailor's cap and scarf for everyone to see. Turn him round, Nik, so that we can see him properly.



Then puts him lying down carefully whilst he starts gets out the other contents.



The little bear tells Nik that it's his own little rowing boat that he has bought with him.



A million thanks Uncle Steve for this truly wonderful SECOND birthday present.



Nik puts him into the boat and the little bear takes up the oars and prepares to practice his rowing technique.



It is agreed that this little bear will be Nik's very own since he has no toys as yet having only just arrived and joined The Brood. Nik decides to call him 'Ste' after Uncle Steve.



Nik places Ste snuggly inside his gillet so that he won't get lost when they are ''out and about' but still allowing him to see all around.



Nik is wearing his Dollydoodle hoodie and tracksuit and a thick gilet, maker unknown.



Armfuls of grateful thanks heading down to you Sarah.

Dollydoodle baby sleepsuit from Jackie

Firstly to say that I will take a photo of the baby 'quirky' eyebrows and add to a post asap as it isn't showing up on these photos below.

Today we are featuring this delightful little Dollydoodle's Easter bunny themed baby sleepsuit given to me by Jackie Rydstrom for my birthday.
Millions of thanks Jackie for this wonderful surprise present. Just what I needed as this new little tot hadn't one.



It came just in time for my new Easter baby (as yet un-named as trying to think of something that links her to Easter or April) to wear as she settles down for her first night amongst the Brood.



Here she is totally enjoying being out on the grass scattered with the fallen rose petals.



Another facial close up photo showing her lovely, not too full hair style before she puts on her nightcap.



I just love these adorable top-notched hats that Judith makes to keep their little heads warm in the dropping night-time temperatures.
Oh just noticed that there is a slight glimpse of THE quirky eyebrow in the next two photos!



I'm ready now to be picked up and taken indoors.



Ever grateful thanks to Sarah for these listings.

Flowers from Kate

My local Sasha and teacher friend sent me this FABULOUS 'tied' arrangement of flowers carefully chosen to blend in with my lounge colour scheme.



I do hope that these photos do them justice as they are truly exquiste and are still as fresh as ever even after one and a half weeks.



Kate always uses this florists because of their wonderful lasting blooms.



The one thing that doesn't come across here is their magnificent perfume which is delightfully filling the whole bungalow. My sister popped by last night and the moment she walked through the front door she mentioned the fabulous aroma. A million thanks Kate for giving me (and my visiting family and friends) such delight and pleasure.



Grateful thanks too to Sarah for her surpreme help.

New life at Easter

Easter means 'New Life' so I'm sidetracking a little here from my birthday gifts  to Easter Sunday, the day after my birthday to allow this little minty, gold tagged 1969 quirky eyebrowed baby Nightdress to make her debut. Why....?



She is an Easter gift from 'me to me', the first opportunity for a worthy occassion for a special gift since I already had my Gotz boy Niklaus lined up as a birthday gift.



She is being photograhed today to show the dearest twin teddy bears that Jill Mackley gave me for my birthday (more thanks Jill) and which this little tot has claimed for herself (....AND will later this week be photographed wearing Jackie Rhydstrom's gift.)




She has a really sweet little face that easily allows me to forgive the fact that her hair has just started to fall, shedding a couple of hairs but if tugged (...which naturally I shan't be doing!)



Meanwhile she is seen here in a Cuddlelugs (Shelia Vincent) finely knitted cotton matinee coat and little shoes that I bought especially for her (as she was arriving nude from  the US) off sashadolluk's website.



Couldn't resist showing yet another photo of her gorgeous face and lovely hairstyle.



Yet more thank yous heading down to Sarah W for her kindness and time.
