ADAD 2016 - January 13: Three of a Kind

13:  Three of A Kind

A mish mash post

Two little Maori boys checking out the wind damage to the garden...fortunately not a lot, just some windfalls and leaves.

The other day I found a little Pippa doll in the CS for 50p she was amongst some little McD barbie dolls, quite a surprise.  She didn't have any clothes but I knew I had a spare set of clothes at home for her.

I finally got round to dressing her.  She just needs shoes now!

I introduced to the other girls (my childhood two and I think my sisters (on the right) 

Dancing Tammy (I think her name is) Pippa, my sister's Pippa and the new Pippa.  I didn't realise quite how much the other set of clothes had faded.

Saige has put on an Autumnal outfit I made last year and she is chatting to Kaya.

The girls are hoping to attend a harvest party this week.

I finally got round to making a pair of pink trousers for Camille to go with the pink sweater I made in February 2012.

I think pink is her colour!

Peggy Sue had a little parcel arrive in the post today.

A coat and hat

I bought this set from a friend of mine - it as part of the Sasha Festival 2012 Raffle prize.  I would love to know who made it as it is beautifully made and really suits her.

Introducing my Maori Dolls.

So the other day I introduced this little fellow...or is she a girl?

Usually you can tell by their costume, but I'm not quite certain for this one...

Next up is my tallest Maori girl...

Her name is Aroha

This slightly smaller girl is Mere

The next two belonged to my grandparents and would have been bought in the seventies or eighties.

She has a lovely face.  Her name is Kiri.

I didn't realise she was quite so dusty!  Oops!

This young lady has sleep eyes and her name is Ngaire

Next we have the family related to the Moana family who have  'emigrated' to Hittyville.

From left to right Tama, Tane, little Timoti,  Rangi and baby Rere

Lastly we have Wairaki.

A bit of this and a bit of that

Using up the rest of the 'Menthol' yarn I added white to the skirt to make the latest knit dress.

I quite like this - it is very fresh looking.  I am currently doing the same with some of the blueberry colour I had left over.

During the week little Xanthe went for a walk in the garden.

She especially liked the little violets - them being just her size.

This cheeky fellow has joined the Maori Tribe - soon to be revealed...

Wahine & Mahuta Moana are hoping to Emigrate

The Moana family are considering moving...

Wahine & Mahuta are fed up with the cold, damp, drizzly grey weather in ol' blighty and want to head for shores anew!  They have heard that there is a lot of things going on over in Hittyville, and are hoping that there will be room to move to this inviting place.

They miss the country and from what they have heard and read, Hittyville is definitely in the country :-)

Wahine (woman or wife) is married to Mahuta (Maori King) who is actually less a warrior and more of a dreamer, which can be seen from his expression.  He is a very kind hearted soul who only wants what is best for his family.

Little Hine (girl/daughter) is happy as long as she is with her parents and is quite happy nestling on her mama's back.

They are just waiting to hear back from Immigration, Visa and Passport control to see if their application has been accepted....
