A GORGEOUS new re-rooted by Lisa Hartley baby arrives to join my Sasha family.

New baby in her best dress, a OOAK by Ruthsdolls, manufactured shoes and Ruthsdolls picot topped socks.


A million/trillion thanks to Lisa for her outstanding re-rooting skills seen here on one of my previously falling haired Nightdress babies. I can honestly say that when it comes to re-rooting, 'Nobody does it better'!
A simply irresistable photo (and one of my favourites of her so far though more to come) of my new baby wearing Ruthsdolls OOAK dungarees and hugging a Merrythought bear (a firm favourite gift from Shelly a few years ago.)

Here we are ready for bed wearing a delightful pink/white spotted Dollydoodle babygro.

Ready for the outdoors in a Sashawardrobe fleece and Doll Works tights.

New kid on the block. My first 1970 No-navel.

It has taken fourteen years of Sasha Doll collecting to get me interested in the No-Navel dolls. I already have a 1969 brunette and now this, a very attractive 1970 girl. She is wearing an unusual knitted coat won off eBay and Sashadollstyle trousers and JJ boots, all chosen to enhance the colour of her eyes.

We have been Easter Chocolate Shopping! Now it's time to choose which one you want to be given to you on Sunday.

A lovely unexpected Easter surprise from one of my nieces. My favourite milk chocolate by my favourite chocolate manufacturer.

These are perfect for you to have Bea as you can use the little chest for storing your things in afterwards.


I see that you have your bunnies and are now waiting to choose your chocolate Easter gift.

Who's this egg for then?

An Easter egg for our Mummy.


Remember that it's as I told Anis, it's one OR the other, NOT both.


Bea getting in a little practical maths with sorting and setting the eggs. I hope that you're not eating any in the process?

Now the yellow goes in the yellow set.

Jeanine, the mini eggs for you too then?

Have you noticed that the egg shell colours match your Ruthsdoll OOAK dungaees?

We helped our mummy choose this big Thorntons milk chocolate egg for her daughter.

We haven't forgotten to get the doggie chocolate Easter eggs for Chon's two Weimaraner dogs as eating real peoples chocolate can make them ill or even kill them.

You're having these then?

Now, no opening them until Easter Sunday!

Yes, the white Mikly Bar chocolate is your favourite.


You're having the mini eggs then? That's a good choice.

Come down from there or you'll fall or break mummy's egg and then you'll be in trouble.

You can't read the writing from there as you're seeing it upside down.

What does it say on it?

We've chosen this Thornton's milk chocolate egg for our mummy as it is her favourite chocolate and she has shares in the Thornton's Company.

I think Irka that these chocolates are too big and hard for you and they have nuts in. They are more for real life adults but you can have the plastic bunny container afterwards.


I think that you'll like these Cadbury's mini eggs much better!


I see that you are choosing between the Cadbury's chocolate Mini sugar coated eggs and the treasure chest of the brightly foil wrapped chocolate eggs.


It's a choice, Anis, of the milk chocolate Lindt Bunny OR the Nestle white Milky Bar chocolate cow. NOT both.

Just look at what I've got!

WOW! It's ACE MAN!

It's a minature replica of an Indian motorbike.

Oh GREAT! Am I a 'hairy biker' now?

Do I look the part?

Stepping into Spring, latest outfit won off eBay.

One of my favourite Sashas, a 1969 waif in a bobbed pale blonde Monique Peggy-Sue wig wearing a Vintage Sasha dress and matching pants, Sashawardrobe socks and JJ sandals.

The origin of the UK's Mothering Sunday.

Different countries celebrate Mother’s Day on various days of the year because the day has a different number of origins. It is also known as Ladies’ Day or Women’s Day but is mostly celebrated on the second Sunday in May.

Mothering Sunday in the UK is the equivalent of Mother’s Day in other countries but it has been celebrated here on the fourth Sunday of Lent since the 16th Century. The day has no fixed date since Lent (Ash Wednesday to the day before Easter Day) varies each year. Mothering Sunday can fall as early as 1st March, when Easter Day is on 22nd March and the latest on 4th April, when Easter Day falls on 25th April. This year it is on March 14th.

For a long time now it has been regarded as a day for giving thanks for all the things that our mothers do for us.
No one is absolutely certain exactly how this day actually began but we do know that on this day, about four hundred years ago, people who lived in little villages made a point of not going to their local church but to the nearest big church, The Mother Church. Here most mothers would be briefly united with their children. People who did this would say that they had gone ‘a mothering’.

Young English girls and boys ‘in service’ were only allowed one day each year to visit their families and this was usually on Mothering Sunday.

Often the housekeeper or cook would let the maids to bake a cake to take home for their mother. Sometimes a gift of eggs, or flowers from the garden (or hot house) was allowed. Flowers were traditional, as the children would have to walk to their village and could gather them on their way through the meadows.
