It's the Gregor's turn to be blogged today.

ALL my lads will only wear Dollydoodles leisure wear at the moment because they think that these Joggers and Hoodies are'cool.'

Oh dear, just realised that I had missed out listing Jac, a 1970 Gregor customised by Shelly to be either a boy or a girl with a short hair style ...so here he is in my very first Dollydoodle Hoodie/jogger choice of colour combination.


Here is Sam, (named after my grandfather) my Frido 1968 Christmas doll wearing one of my favourite of Judith's hoodies. I just love his eyes with the turned up lashes at the corners.




Next up is Matt, a Frido 1968 tiny crude eyed Shorts boy. (There are two more photos of him further down as I forgot to include these with him wearing his saggy beanie hat now that it has been found.)




James, (named after my first boyfriend who was also very dark and handsome) another 1968/9 Frido Gregor Dark Jeans lad (I bought him as a successful after operation gift) sporting another of my favourite (in fact probably MY very favourite as I just love the colour navy) of Judith's Hoodies. His hair isn't quite so dark as Sam's.



Fritz, an early 1960s Gotz slate eyed boy who is always up to some mischief or other seen here wearing a very snazzy OOAK Dollydoodle outfit... which he knows suits him and sets off his fair colouring.




Josh, a 1969 Frido now wigged Gregor dark Jeans boy in another version of Dollydoodle's Hoodie/jogger gear.


Ross, a 1969 Frido dark Jeans boy in an aubergine new style Dollydoodle Hoodie/jogging set though he says that he daren't take the Hoodie off as he has seen one or two of the girls eyeing it up for themselves.



Luke, a unisex wigged 1969/70 doll who is still waiting for a Hoodie of his own to go with his navy outfit so has borrowed this white one off the girls for now.



Matt again without his saggy beanie hat... which hadn't then been found.



Iain, (I was going to call a son this but only had one child, my daughter, Chon) a 1971 dark eyed Trendon dark Jeans Gregor in a dark grey/light grey marl Dollydoodle leisure outfit.

Still getting changed out of our Winter/ski wear but still not quite ready for the summer outfits.

Belle, a 1970 Gregor customised by Shelly in a discontinued Global Cossette style wig in a light brown and wearing a Ruthsdoll's OOAK smocked, open fronted dress and commercially made shoes and socks.



1967 Dungaree NP seen here in a vintage-sasha floral print dress with Ruthsdoll's distressed boots though I think that she needs to change into a lighter weight shoes.



Frido 1969 wigged due to falling hair Party girl, again with a discontinued Global Cossette style wig in a strawberry blonde, in a dress by Nadia Vasconi and commercially made shoes and socks.




Frido 1966 Developemental 'Jeans' girl with a full centre part seen here in a Pinestreetstudio dress and commercially made shoes and socks.



A second 1966 Frido developemental Dungaree girl with her full centre part in a Ruthsdolls OOAK dress and commercially made shoes and socks.



Frido 1968 Single Fringe with a full centre part Dungaree girl in a Ruthsdoll's smocked checked dress (my very first dress from Ruthsdolls) and commercially made shoes and socks.

Two more wonderful get well presents. Aren't I the lucky one!

A wonderous little minature bead toy arrives from Cathy Buckler-Mellor as a get well present for me... and the Brood. Great fun and excitment follows as one of the baby boys gets to have a go first.
I'm sure that you'll all enjoy these photos. A million thanks Cathy for such a delightful gift.


This looks different then. What do you do?


Oh, I see now, you move the beads up and over and from from side to side.


Quite tricky but I think that I'm getting the hang of it. You say that it is meant to improve the eye and hand skills?


You need to concentrate quite hard and keep your eyes on the bead as you move it over.


Time now for your afternoon nap. No, it isn't wise to sleep with it like that. You might hurt yourself when you finally fall asleep.


Put it down by the side of you instead and I'll see that nobody takes it from you until you wake up.


A very pretty little butterfly hair slide made by Robbin (Ted's pinafore challenge winner) which is meant to be worn with the pinafore BUT my girls feel that Belle has had enough with getting to wear the outfit SO they have decided to share it amongst themselves, each getting a day to wear it. Here are the first three in line... who just happened to be already wearing a touch of red.


Here we see my new minty girl Cora (see the sand in her neck joint) wearing it. She has only just arrived here and is still in her BIN outfit which I feel needs a T shirt to go underneath it.


Many, many thanks Robbin for this delightful and unique gift.

Mini Sasha babies book given to me by Chon, my daughter as a get well present.

Anis gets to hold and open this little book first.

....and is delighted to see heself featured in it with two of her photos taken from the Sasha World article entitled 'My Favourite Sasha Baby.'

Look, here's me in the bath with my little duck and all those bubbles.

I'm in it too. Come and look.

Am I in there? Oh yes, here I am in Kate's little knitted pram suit. Haven't I got big dark eyes?

You're in too Quirky. Remember that day when we all went to the park?

Oh yes. I had a great time. Can we go back again this Summer?

Why am I putting my book on my head? I think baby Woolly you were just showing off to the camera!


Look, I'm in a second time on the last page in my Dollydoodles snowsuit.
