J IS FOR JEWELS

019

The Jew in the Frown !

What to wear if your a bear

of family, style and class

It just won’t do for you

to be seen in shiny glass !

 

027

When one is class

one must ask

which necklace should one wear!

It’s not enough JUST to puff

I’m only a stuffed bear!

but JUST tween us

I have to fuss cos

I love a bit of glitter

and must be seen not to

preen and make all others bitter!

And so I frown and my JEWEL drops down

Why I try to make a guess

Which to wear as a classy bear

cos I want to look the best!

H IS FOR

HORSEPOWER !

 

047

When someone won’t pedal

and it’s their turn you see

you can hardly insist

when their Elf Royalty!

051

When someone won’t pedal

and you’ve run out of puff

and she just sits there

crossed arms in a huff

043

When someone won’t pedal

all you can do

is go find something or someone

to help you

044

When someone won’t pedal

don’t expect help

if your finding a horse

you’d best go yourself

049

When someone won’t pedal

and it’s soon time for tea

You’d best get Star trotting

heading home merrily

053

When someone won’t pedal

and you’ve had more than enough

of royalty sitting around

in a huff

058

When someone won’t pedal

it’s best to ignore

and not want to thump them

slap them some more

056

When someone won’t pedal

and really won’t help

It’s just best to ignore them

and do it yourself

053

When someone won’t pedal

Horsepower’s what you need

a wonderful horse Star

who is packed full of speed.

050

When someone won’t pedal

and your horse is about

She’s be the perfect friend

and she’ll help you out.

ULLI GOES CLIMBING

003

Ulli My only boy Wichtel doll received a new pair of Lederhosen which I found on sale , he was so happy to finally be able to get out of his winter clothes ! He found a Passion for Sasha t shirt made just for Wichtel’s like him and quickly changed and headed outside.

005

He was off to climb mountains he called as he left! Some chance thought I , in rural Hertfordshire! Mountains!

006

But look ! Here he is on top of a mountain!!

018

He walked among the alpines and along the trail.

023

The trail was long and very rocky, with ups and downs and dips everywhere.

010

at times he felt as if he was not alone!

020

He’d look about and call.. Hello? but no one answered, so he wandered on..

025

Soon it was time to turn for home, he’d had a lovely time climbing in the Hertfordshire mountains, maybe he’d bring his sisters !

HEIDI PLUSCZOK DOLL

Early this year I was waiting on a doll and after a month or more of waiting I decided after studying the doll website to cancel the doll I was waiting for and buy a Heidi Plusczok doll.

I selected this girl who is called Corla.

011

She’s been waiting for some attention ever since she came home , was looked over and then placed in with the smaller dolls.

009

She is 10 inches in height.

012

I happened to be back on the doll website at the weekend and saw some new dresses just in, that said they would fit the 10 inch dolls , Heidi Plusczok dolls included.

There were a few to chose from and after a while I picked out three, one was a gorgeous linen and felt dress with a hat.

They arrived today and I was so pleased with them until it came time to try them on, which I am so glad I did straight away instead of my usual, leave them in a box for three months and then use them.

015

This was the only dress I managed to get on her and that was with a fight! The dresses only open part way down the back which means you struggle to get their arms in and the dress over their head!

022

Corla’s hair is plaited to the side and I don’t want it coming adrift with having to pull the dress over it.

I decided after struggling with the second dress, to try it on one of my Heather Miacak dolls. She is only 7 inches.

018

It’s actually not to bad on her and since this girl ,Lexie, has been wearing a dress that does not quite do up, I’ve decided to keep this dress for her, it gives her a little growing room!

Plus it’s just such a lovely dress and this one I could not even get anywhere near the Corla’s shoulders.

020

Here are the girls together so you can see the difference.

023

But this one I am really sad about because I just love the design and craftsmanship but it won’t go anywhere near Corla and is way too big for Lexie! The hat is meant to be over sized on the doll but there’s over sized and swamped! or in Corla’s case just too small in the crown to fit!

So alas the pink satin and this linen and felt dress will be returned and poor Corla will have to stay in her outfit she came in and hope that she gets a change of clothes by the winter or at the very least a cardie!

034

Emily at 8 1/2 inches in the last outfit.
