A New Boy Arrives

I saw him on ebay for a very reasonable price and couldn't resist him. He has nice dark eyes which I love. He arrived with only his underwear and denim jeans and as boys clothes are rather scarce around here I had a job to find him anything.

His hair is a bit unruly so a cool DollyDoodles saggy beany is keeping it under control until I have time to give him a shampoo and set. His name is Julian, just because it seems to suit him, and I think he's happy to be here.

An Exciting Post Day

There's nothing that lifts the spirits like seeing that distinctive purple packaging peeking out of the postbox - it means goodies from DollyDoodles have arrived - YAY!

Cody and Sadie both got adorable new outfits, so at least there was no sulking. Here we are in my Mum's lovely garden this afternoon.

The Irish weather was doing its four seasons in one day trick, so we went from cloudy and dull, to bright sunshine to rain, and round again, so please excuse the varied lighting in these photos

So, two very lucky babes, and that's not all ....

Also in the postbox was this lovely Sasha Wardrobe blue sleeveless dress (thank you Dee!) which suits Alison so well. And for Andrea a sweet dress from Jadzia (skibniewska_1960 on Ebay) which she is wearing with JJ sandals that go perfectly with it. We're all feeling very lucky today

After we'd finished the photo session, Mum and I had a cuppa and she started teaching me how to knit with different colours, weaving the yarn across at the back - I think I'm getting the hang of it :-) A good day indeed

Lovely New Clothes

There were exciting packages in the postbox yesterday! I was thrilled to receive my first ever outfit from vintage-sasha and I think Andrea looks stunning in it.

I couldn't resist this adorable hoodie and leggings set from DollyDoodles. Cody thinks its perfect for playing with Thomas the Tank Engine.

Also from DollyDoodles, Alison got another pair of leggings, this time in Candy Pink, which co-ordinate so well with her striped hoodie. Just as well as she refuses to wear anything else at the moment.

One problem with living right beside the sea is that it's always windy. Not too much of a problem for boys and babies, but very tiresome for the Sashas. Luckily a few of the photos managed not to have their hair all over their faces so I was able to use them :-)

A Beach Walk with Cody

Every day I take the dog for his walk to the beach and Cody came with us this morning. I made sure he was wrapped up warmly in the adorable coat from DollyDoodles that was part of my daughter's Christmas present to me. He insisted on bringing his chocolate Easter bunny with him.

Cody: Can I eat my bunny, can I?
Me: No Darling, you have to save him until Easter

Cody: OK *sigh*. Can I go for a paddle then? Pleeeease!
Me: I'm sorry Sweetheart, it's much too cold yet.

Cody: *pouty bottom lip* It's not FAIR!

Me: I know Pet

Mother's Day

I've had a wonderful day on a gardening course, just popped home to get the dogs and now off to my daughter's house - she's cooking a Mother's Day meal for me and my Mum. Alison, wearing DollyDoodles finery, is showing you the pretty flower basket that is part of my present to my Mum.

Pink Spotted Sadie

Now the last of my shopping spree at Dollydoodles is this darling Sleepsuit and Hat set with hot pink spots! It is totally Sadie and you can see how delighted she is with it, as am I.

This means that Cody can claim the outfit that is rightfully his, so happy smiles all round.

A new DollyDoodles Outfit for John

John and I are both thrilled with his new outfit from the wonderful DollyDoodles. He certainly is the coolest kid on the block around here now, that's for sure.

It's just perfect for space hopping in, isn't it John.

I did some experimenting today and tried some new things with blogger. I think I like this larger format, do you?

New Baby Clothes

An exciting parcel arrived from DollyDoodles yesterday - an absolutely gorgeous cream and silver Joggers and Top Set. It was intended as a welcome present for Cody, but Sadie threw a tantrum so she got to wear it first.

Cody is fresh and clean now and wearing a sweet Dog Gone Cute outfit from WendyY2k on ebay. The sun was rather too bright this morning for taking photos, but we managed.
