Third installment

Three of my girls, 1960s ponytailed Gotz with yellow eyes and lashes, a wigged slate eyed waif and Sally, another 1960s slate eyed Gotz, all in Dollydoodle girly T shirts over cropped leggings enjoying time on one of Alsager's children's playgrounds.

Photobucket

Two pages showing the cosy Dollydoodle SNOW suits which were made for the Emmy Dolls and co. the pattern of which is currently being perfected ready for the 2012 Winter Sasha baby production.

Back to night time and the Dollydoodle baby sleep wear. For those of you who haven't as yet bought one of these sleepsuits I can tell you that when holding a baby in one it is such a wonderful feeling, so soft and comforting to the hands.

Photobucket

Dollydoodle hoodies and joggers worn by Fritz (who by now needs no introduction as such!) and a 1967 Frido NP and 1960s Gotz waif, Miss Minxy just perfect for going 'out and about' and enjoying the environment.

The Sasha Book that my daughter had done for me for my Christmas gift.

This is the first of four parts to this book but unfortunately the light from the conservatory windows shining on the pages doesn't do justice to the actual wonderful quality of the publishing.
Chon had decided that she would give me a Sasha book every birthday and Christmas and that we should choose a theme each time. This one is entitled 'Kendal's Sasha Brood, The Dollydoodles Fashion Edition' since I just ADORE Dollydoodles leisure wear.
Naturally Fritz, my 1960s, sharp nosed, slate eyed Gotz lad had to feature on the front dust cover in his now famous Dollydoodle OOAK surfing hoodie.

Photobucket

This is the very first prototype Dollydoodle's sleepsuit that was sent to me to try on a Sasha baby whilst Judith searched for one of her own. These are the very photos that I sent back to Judith to show her the fit. As you can see it proved to be almost perfect although some of the proportions were initially a little generous.
Trendon 1970s little black baby, Bea a 1990s customised Gotz Toddler and Irka, a 1990s Gotz 750 limited edition baby with enhanced eyes by Shelly.

Photobucket

Trendon baby, Little Stevie (given to me by Steve Kingaby for my 70th birthday present) wearing a limited edition outfit made especially for him by Judith.
1966 Frido NP re-rooted by Lisa Hartley and a 1960s crude eyed Gotz doll wearing Dollydoodle's hoodies.

Photobucket

1970 Gotz No-navel, 1967 bobbed haired Frido NP waif, another 1967 Frido NP with beautiful eye painting, and a 1970 wigged Gregor all wearing Dollydoodle hoodies and leggings.

Photobucket

'In the Red, Pink and White!' 1970 Trendon wigged Gregor, Fritz, a 1960s Gotz, 1960 Gotz crude eyed girl and a wide faced 1970 Trendon Gingham waif all looking very 'Trendy' wearing Dollydoodle Summer wear.

Photobucket

All my Gregor lads in Dollydoodle leisure wear. This is Judith's favourite photo of mine. She calls them 'The Likely Lads.'
Up until Judith's Gregor hoodies, joggers and saggy beanie hats appeared on the market I hadn't been very enthusiastic about the Gregor dolls but now I can't seem to buy enough of the 'lads' to wear the 'iconic' gear.
Ross, a Frido 1969 Gregor, with his newly rooted hair by Jackie Rhydstrom, enjoying a day out at Llandudno in his OOAK hoodie and shorts outfit. (I love the overall blue colour scheme here.)
My daughter likes these two pages the very best in the book.

Photobucket

My Trendon girls in blue!' A very pretty 1971 girl, Eline a 1969 re-rooted by Jackie and Belle,a 1970 Gregor customised by Shelly all looking 'cool' in shades of blue.

Photobucket

Tons of thanks to Sarah again for her invaluable help in listing the above photos.
The book continues tomorrow if you are interested.

Because of...........

Being unable to leave comments on mine and some other some blogs these days (unless using Google Chrome) due to a fault or changes with BLOGGER my daughter set up this other blog for me on Boxing Day http://kendalssashabrood.wordpress.com to run alongside this one to allow comments to be left and for me to eventually completely move over to there.

Super shoes for Christmas from Jean Jenson

These attractive black patent Mary-Jane style shoes arrived as a lovely surprise from Jean.
Many thanks Jean for thinking of us with this delightful gift.

Photobucket

My 1960 pale skinned Gotz girl with her mohair re-root by Bettina gets to try them on first with her Pinestreetstudio dress and Trendon Kiltie tights.

Secondly the 1970 wide faced Gingham girl in her new vintage-sasha Christmas outfit has a try on of these lovely shoes to see if they suit this outfit as well since I still can't find the boots.

My sincere thanks to Sarah for her continued listings for me.

A little Hallmark Keepsake School House gift from Auntie Dawn.

This cute little school house model looks more of a toy for you girls as I know that you all love playing 'school' especially when it's your turn to play 'the teacher.'

Photobucket

Now take it very carefully out of the box and unwrap the surrounding tissue paper protecting it. Oh, how lovely it looks. It is a minature version of Fisher Price's Play Family School introduced in 1971 that has taught thousands of children that 'playing school' is always so much fun. Thank you SO VERY much Auntie Dawn.

Photobucket

Place it on top of it's box so that you can see it better.
Right, it says to first lift part of it's roof. Can you do that?

Photobucket

Then ease the side wall with the windows on down carefully so that you can see what is happening inside.

Photobucket

The tiny bell will ring if you move the lever at the top of the bell tower. This lets you know when school starts and finishes and when it's lunch and playtime.

Photobucket

Look there's the door at the front where the children go in and the clock to tell you when it's time to start and finish school.

Photobucket

What can you see inside? Is their a teacher and some children? 'Yes!' Are they sitting at their desks? 'Yes!'

Photobucket

No Brownie points at guessing just who has listed these photos yet again for me! Yes, our wonderful Sarah W. Once again, thanks a mill. Sarah.

A super gift from our Auntie Sarah Price

What has your Auntie Sarah sent you all then? Oh, a little mechanical city track. How wonderful! You've never had anything clock work before.

Photobucket

Be very careful when you start to get everything out. Put the track pieces all together.

Photobucket

That looks a smart little wind-up car. You must be so careful when you wind it up that you don't overwind it and break the internal spring.


Photobucket

You have to work out now how to connect the track together rather like doing a jigsaw.

Photobucket

Use the photo at the back of the plastic box to help you decide which piece goes where.

Photobucket

Oh, well done! You are getting them linked up in the correct order.

Photobucket

You have to decide just where on the track you are going to put these road signs.

Photobucket

If I were you I'd put the parking sign close to the park or lake where people need to park their cars so that they can get out and enjoy the environment.

Photobucket

Now wind it up very carefully.

Photobucket

Put it carefully on the track now.

Photobucket

Right! Get ready, steady and now let it go!

Photobucket

Many thanks to Sarah who is STILL listing these for me.
