Two more cosily Dollydoodle/Sashawardrobe dressed babies

Seasonally dressed in red and white this little early 1970s sexed baby boy is wearing a Sashawardrobe fleece with red/white stripped Dollydoodle joggers and beanie hat with 1990s Gotz baby shoes.



Seen here enjoying his ride on their rocking horse.



Super close up of his little face and eye painting framed by the fleece's hood and Dollydoodle beanie hat.



Next is an early Trendon sexed baby girl who has been wigged with a Monique baby cap wig who is giving the rocking horse a great big hug as a thank you for the thrilling ride.



Would you like a sugar lump? (Love this view of her little expectant face.) This baby girl is wearing a Dollydoodle fur trimmed fleece and red/white spotted joggers and beanie hat with later Gotz shoes.



Now you know that you are not meant to be touching that alarm clock!



It is not a toy to be played with! There are too many small parts that could could hurt you.



Now stop being so silly. If that clock falls it will break and then your Auntie Shelly will be cross.



Thanks a mill. Sarah for you help again.

Two of Dollydoodle's baby fleeces without the fur trim

Two of the babies are keeping warm and cosy in their new Dollydoodle little fleeces and which are protecting them well from this exceptionally cold spell of weather that we are having at the moment.



Here are the twins in Judith's pale pink and soft yellow versions over manufactured nylon tights.



I know that the bunnie's raincoat isn't quite the yellow but it's the only shade we have here.
I really love this close up photo. I always think that yellow looks so good with their tanned shin tones. (My apologies to Judith for the undone top press-stud.)



The pink bunny's raincoat is a perfect shade to go with the fleece colour this time.



I love the softness of these fleeces. Makes them look so irresistable and cuddly.



A close up of her sweet little face with two of the hair slides that Marion Fricker kindly sent them a year or so ago clipping back her long fringe.



Many thanks for your help again Sarah.

New baby Dollydoodle day wear outfit comes to Alsager

When I first saw this tot for sale this old English rhyme came to mind.....

'There was a little girl,
Who had a little curl,
Right in the middle of her forehead,
And when she was good,
She was very, very good,
But when she was bad,
She was horrid.'

....But I was prepared to take the risk and luckily so far we haven't seen the later part surface!!!

A dear little white cotton baby sweatshirt sporting a tiny rocking horse motif on the chest worn over white, with coloured stars (enhancing the coloured threads used in the  motif) leggings and a little matching knotted beanie hat.



Seen here on a minty little early 1970s Trendon baby girl with tight 'curls' curtesy of Bettina.



The wearing of the little beanie hat has been banned on account of her 'newly done' curls but will be allowed to be worn on the next baby when it's their turn.



Thanks again Sarah. What would I do without you?

Shelly's Other Presents to the 'Brood'

A little 'Me to you' bear set and an alarm clock along with the recycling bin. Many thanks
Auntie Shelly for these most useful and super gifts.



A little 1970 Baby Woolly decides to claim the delightful little grey 'Me to You' bear as he says that he has been wanting one of his own for a very long time.



You're so soft and furry.........



...and totally cuddly. Oh, we are going to have such fun together.



Just what we have been wanting as our mummy has been sleeping in rather late on account of disturbed nights and sometimes needs to be woken up at a certain time if she has an early appointment to go to.



We'll put it on our bedside chest. Now we need to find out how to start and set it to the right time.



Shall we set the alarm for 7.30am? The house should be nice and warm by then.



A million thanks Sarah for your continuing help here.

New Year lad arrives....

....and gets to grips with the FIRST of Shelly's Christmas presents, their very own re-cycling bin.
A minty 1969 in tube PJ boy arrives to celebrate the start of 2012 but he soon sheds his Pyjama outfit when he sees all the other lads in their Dollydoodle's wear.



Luckily I had ordered some jeans, a hoodie and gilet plus a saggy beanie from Judith and a pair of Ruthsdoll's lace ups ready for his arrival.
A close up of his wide face and beautiful eye paint.



He soon sets to work on reading the recycling instructions as to what is allowed to be put into this most useful re-cycling bin that Shelly so thoughfully gave 'The Brood' since she is aware of how good their mother is on this task.
Every little helps.



Next the 2012 collection dates have to be looked up as the bins are only collected fortnightly in East Cheshire.



Right! We are now well underway with the sorting and collecting. Yes, paper and cardboard items, plastic bottles and containers and bubble wrap can all go in.



Many thanks Shelly for this unusual and most useful gift. We all like to do our bit to save the environment and our landfills from being overfilled.




Thanks Sarah. So sorry that I'm having to ask you again to add my photos. Now that the festival donations and hostess gifts are ordered and almost sorted I'll have another attempt at downloading them myself.

Sorry, but having to take a break from blogging this week, although I still have more of my Sasha Christmas gifts to photo and list but need the time to deal with my festival auction contributions and hostess table gifts.

Fourth and final installment

Ross, my 1969 Gregor enjoys the limelight here on the first page when he jetted off to Spain to visit Jackie Rhydstrom for his re-root. The first photo shows him at Alex's hairdressing salon having his new re-rooted hair professionally styled before heading off to enjoy the nearby beach on the Pacific Ocean. Dressed in Dollydoodle's board shorts and T shirt just in case there is any opportunity for a little surfing.
On the next page is a 1970 Trendon wigged waif and a 1973/4 Trendon wigged customised by Shelly in yet more of Dollydoodles girl's hoodies and leggings.


Fritz, my wide faced 1970 Trendon waif and Annaliese, another 1970s doll re-rooted by Jackie enjoying themselves on the hottest day last year on Conway Quay. I particularly like the ropes, bouys and fishing tackle which make up the naturally looking backgrounds here.



Bit closer to home here, on one of the roads leading out from Alsager three Gregor lads, Matt (1968 Frido tiny eyed Gregor Shorts) Sam (Frido 1968 Gregor Jeans) and Jac (1970 Gregor customised by Shelly) enjoy playing wearing their Dollydoodle 'active' leisure wear on a 3-D buisness advert, (whilst the Health and Safety executives aren't around) and Luke (1969 Frido Gregor Jeans) Jac and Sam (details as above)
enjoy a spot of 'Space hopping' in their Dollydoodle Summer versions of the hoodie and shorts.



Early 1970s Trendon baby girls and 1990s Gotz Toddler, Bea (customised by Raven) enjoy wearing Dollydoodle's snowsuits, coats, jackets and sleepsuits in shades of pink mixed with white.



Jac, Luke, Amy and Frido ballet NP all Dollydoodle dressed in hoodies, shorts, T-shirts, cropped leggings for a comfy, easy fitting, playful Summer.



This was the last Dollydoodle item that I had bought before this book went to press. Anis, a Bettina customised early sexed Trendon baby with her hair re-rooted in mohair wearing the softest velour little jacket over a beautifully co-ordinated jersey floral material sleepsuit.
I hate to say that my Sasha baby collection has increased three fold over the last year due to Judith's delightful little sleepsuits and baby day wear.



On the inside of the back dust cover my Gregors have written....'The Gregors would like to personally thank Judith, as her range of comfy sports and leisure wear has enabled them to pursue their very active lifestyle in a suitably boyish manner.'

The back dust cover depicting the now famous Dollydoodle logo.


The End.
My thanks to my wonderful daughter for another much appreciated and treasured Sasha book. I do hope that you have enjoyed it as much as I do.
(PS. My Birthday book due out in April is I believe going to be entitled, 'Some of Kendal's favourite Sasha Dolls over the years.')

As a little extra surprise Chon had these 24 notelets printed as well to help me with my thank you letter writing ....which is still 'work in progress.'



My ever grateful thanks go to Sarah Williams for her wonderfully large photo listings of this book.
