New Dresses for Little Miss Perfekta

Her wardrobe is growing...

Three little dresses in a row

Pale yellow

Burgundy red.

Now six.... almost one for each day of the week.

Bright sunshine yellow.

Sunday, her seventh knitted dress and matching panties was finished.  This time it is a purple colour.

She seems pretty happy with it.

Now to work on shoes!  Much more difficult.

The beginnings of Little Miss Perfekta's wardrobe.

Last night I did some knitting for Little Miss Perfekta

I knitted her a little dress with some lovely NZ lace weight wool

She needed a pair of underwear so I made up this pattern as I knitted.

This little simple green dress was made for her yesterday.

This is a little nightgown, also made yesterday.

A little purple felt dress made this morning.

She was also seen spotted talking to Frog..this morning...

I wonder what they were talking about?!

A Mouse Taller than me

While walking through the woods one day

I came across a mouse

That mouse was as large as I had seen

How can that mouse be bigger than me

How oh how can that surely be

A mouse as tall as tall can be

A mouse as tall if not taller than me

How strange to see a mouse as tall as he.

He asked if I was lost

and pointed the direction

that mouse that mouse taller than me.

Rediscovering...

Rediscovering my childhood Perfekta doll.  Time for her to no longer be 'not quite forgotten but definitely neglected.

I have shown this little doll a couple of times on my blog.  She has been with me since the late sixties and travelled the world - but not as a tourist, just 'in transit'  It is time for her to come into her own and get out and about!

She has no clothes except this little dress that I found for her about four years ago.  I have no idea what happened to her original clothing - I can only ever remember her being without clothes.

Today I tried on one of the little Xanthe's dresses (my little Ai Jun Planning doll) and was delighted to see it fitted her, so I will make her some of her own.

She needs a full wardrobe, underwear, clothes and shoes and will be my next project.

Poor little thing also needs a name.

I am sure she looks happier already knowing that she is about to experience life again.

My Autumnal Challenge is to make her a wardrobe to be proud of.

Wet Day Play

It has been pretty wet and dreary today with thunderstorms and heavy rain, but this afternoon the sun has been trying to make an appearance and I found Peggy Sue sitting in the sunshine playing with the Russian dolls.

She is amazed at how many there are...

They keep getting smaller...

She was even surprised to find one eve smaller inside these two.

She counts them.

There are ten altogther!

It is amazing how much enjoyment she got out of playing with these little wooden dolls

So cute!
