COULD THIS BE A RED MONTH.....

Now before you get excited I will not be getting my 68/69 red this month unless I win the lottery or come across one in a charity shop or sale where I pick it up for a song! and I most certainly would sing if that happened!!

I refer to the fact that my red haired Sasha's seem to be gathering together and taking centre stage in my home.

It started with Grace being put into the lovely outfit I received from Gill for christmas. Then I knitted a lilac sweater set which I put on Phoebe who is wearing a long red haired wig and she looks so nice she is still wearing set and I have not listed it for sale ( which is unheard of )  and now I have just received an outfit I purchased from the wonderous Sarah of Vintage Sasha which Hattie has snaffled , so the three of them are very pleased with themselves and standing in the living room holding court!

I took them outside for a photo shoot becasue the sun is shining although it is on the cold side.

Hattie in her new oufit, Sarah very kindly made the matching Hat.

All the girls together, Hattie is wearing a ballet cape to keep warm having refused to put on a cardigan or coat!

Here is a nice close up of Phoebe, her bright blue eyes look so nice with her Red hair.

Grace looks nice in the purple and white and I prefer her hair loose and not caught back in a clip.

And Hattie who says that her hat gives her a french look and did I know if the wonderful Helena Bonham Carter had any french connections? I told her only in that the French were probably appalled by her dress sense, she is now not speaking to me......

A NEW YEAR..2012

Well its a new year and decisions have to be made and resolutions  hopefully stuck to! Most of mine usually begin with losing weight ( a never ending battle), clearing the house of all the things that noone ever uses and no longer needs and taking the dogs for more walks ( thereby helping with weight loss for me and the dogs!). This year I have also made another which is to sell some of the Sasha's that I do not have much interaction with to aid my red 68/69 fund!

Now you would think easily done...but not a bit of it! Everytime I pick one up and decide yes I will sell her, I find myself admiring her lovely face and hair and if I change her into another outfit I think well she looks so nice I'd best keep her!!!

I did put on a 69 blonde Sasha to sell and although she had a lot of watchers I spent most of the time trying not to remove her from sale!! but I did manage to wait until she did not sell and have now decided that she will stay and go off to Brenda in the spring to be restrung and I will get my friend Gill's daughter who is a hairdresser to tidy up her fringe which had been chopped by a preivous owner.

But today I did manage to put on two Sasha's to sell and again went ' she is so pretty maybe I should keep her?' then put her back on shelf and left. but then a few hours later I went back and picked up two and dispite them trying to use their Sasha charms on me they are on Ebay but for how long only time will tell!

I also have the opposite  problem with selling clothes I have made for sale. I work on  that if they dont sell then I'll keep them for my Sasha's but I always list them again!

This is a picture of Phoebe who is a limited edition pintuck ( I have two, Liberty being the other one), I did consider selling her but she is my only doll who can have her wig changed, she is wearing a lovely long red real hair wig, and when I dressed her in this sweater set I'm selling she looks so nice with her red hair and blue eyes that of course she is staying.

I think she looks so nice in this set, so I am no sure if I'll keep it or sell once again only time will tell.

So one of my New years resolutions is to sort out my Sasha's and all their belongings of which there are plenty! I may have to make 'Only time will tell' into my catch- phrase...

I have added a couple of more pictures of sweater sets that will be going on ebay for 68/69 fund next weekend.
