So this morning Evie was playing with her soft toy doll and Laura said ' Grandma could you make a new dress for Iris?'
We looked through the boxes of fabric and the green was chosen. I used the dress she was wearing as a pattern....
tricky!!! I'm sure I could have made a dress for Evie in less time, so many fiddly bits. Anyway it was well received!
And there was some red fabric which Laura thought would make a nice sleeping bag. I must admit I rather enjoyed it all. And I hope Evie likes the sleeping bag... she's fast asleep and her mum and dad are visiting friends this evening.
Three good things
1. Glad all my sorting of fabrics recently made choosing easy.
2. After some rain the sun came out and we had dinner at the patio table.
3. A nice chat with Neil on WhatsApp.... he'd heard we had Evie staying here 🥰🥰
Well what a star you are! Iris looks wonderful…..you are a proper Granny. Stepped up yo the mark wonderfully. Iris has a very sweet face. Soft Dollie’s are always lovely. I have no idea what the modern dolls are like! With all bells & whistles I expect, even talking these days perhaps?
@happypat oh that's very kind!!! I don't really have any tangible items from when I was small so happy to provide some for children and grandchildren!!! And dolls clothes aren't very substantial from shops, and SO expensive!!!
Magic moments when so little time! We're having a catch up with all the grandchildren on Saturday, all being well. David and Jenn and boys are mid flight to UK right now. 😊
@happypat Susannah is not going to be able to come, but she had Laura and Evie to stay, and will see David and Jenn when they go over to the music Festival in Belgium, and will be over at the end of July for a Scottish wedding and a few days with Jonathan and family.
