HATS AND SMOCKED DRESSES

****MULTI PHOTO ALERT*****MULTI PHOTO ALERT*******MULTI PHOTO ALERT******

Today I had a search around for some of Hatties hats so that I could take a photo of the Sashas that live in the village now wearing them.
Well one thing led to another, so you have been warned !, there are lots of photo's , so grab that beverage and maybe a small snack and hopefully enjoy.

Hattie refused to take part in the photo shoot because she was busy and was not wearing any old smock! her words not mine! So Ginny very kindly stepped to the front.

Well it's a beautiful sunny hot day today, so I had to take the photo's on the covered bench of the side still with some shade.

A closer look at some of the girls.

some more girls.

Sansa, Ginny and Claudia showing off their Hattietude!!

more of the girls.

They all got into the spirit of the shoot.

Then the girls all removed their hats apart form Ginny.

Then Ginny removed her hat for a smocked dress photo.

Quickly they line up to show off their smocked dresses as a group.

 On the far left we start with Raven then Agnetha, Callie, Winter, Sansa , Ginny, Claudia and Martha.

From the right we start with Belinda, Ashley, Simone, Martha, Claudia, Ginny, Sansa, Winter, Callie and Agnetha.

Then the girls reminded me that Arabella and Paige were also wearing smocked dress and Sophie! Well we managed to get Arabella and Paige in on the end but where to put Sophie!!

No that's no good! You cannot see her!

No that's not working either! Now we cannot see Claudia and Martha!

With a bit of squeezing Sophie tucks herself part way in at the end!

Are you all right in the corner there Raven? Yes? good girl.

What about you Paige? Are you ok? I've got too many girls! I see ! Well not everyone's here which is just as well or you would be very squashed! Oh You wouldn't ! Why? Oh because you'd refuse to take part !
( I think Paige is feeling a little hot and tired, so I had best get on!)

Right move to the sides girls1 No not you Ginny or you Callie and...

Pardon Winter? What am I doing now? I'm just going to take a few photo's of you girls in groups of colour of dress, If that's fine with you?
Yes Good now just be patient for another few minutes then we'll be done.

So here we have Agnetha, Ginny, Sansa and Callie in the green dresses. Agnetha and Sansa are wearing dresses by the lovely talented Lesley of Special delivery and Ginny and Callie by the incredibly talented Karen of Karensyarn.

Next up are Ava , Martha, Claudia and Sophie in pink with a splash of white with red.
All these dresses are by the  Karen.

Now Winter, Raven, Simone and Belinda in the lilac and Blues dresses. Winter's dress is by the lovely talented Catherine French, Raven's by the talented Ruth Harley and Simone's and Belinda's are by Karen.

And last up are Arabella, Ashley and Paige in the deep creams and yellows.
Arabella and Paige are wearing Karen's dresses and Ashley one by Lesley.

I may have another smocked dress or five laying around! I'll have to see if I can get the twins and those other girls left to change into them but it will be a fight!!

Hope you enjoyed this long photo post ! But that's the problem when you have beautiful Sashas and incredibly talented craftswomen out there making stunning dresses!Once you start you cannot stop!!
