Dolls and Cushions

 

Jenny is going to look after four friends for three hours while their mothers have a break and go shopping for clothes.

The little ones love playing and crawling over the cushions. This cushion says Love is the greatest gift.

The girls are sitting by a floral cushion with their new knitted dresses on.

The front of this cushion says; Welcome each new Day.

Sylva likes the rabbit cushion.

Marilyn likes the squirrel cushion.

Love is never wasted   is on the front of this cushion.

This cushion has the alphabet on the front. I wonder if Jenny knows her alphabet?

Squinty Dolls and Wool

 

Sylvia is wearing a knitted crawler which was a knitting pattern in an English magazine in the 1960’s.

Tara is wearing a long knitted dress done in 3 ply wool.

Carolyn is sitting on a 1950’s blanket and wearing a knitted coat of wool.

Marilyn holding the toy cat made from the woolen material of a jacket.

This is an unmarked doll with moulded shoes and is approx. 15 cm in height.

These two toddlers are using the balls of wool to help them to walk.

A nappy change has been done. Handkerchiefs were used in the 1960’s as nappies for these dolls.  We used to pin the nappy in the middle with a safety pin.

These two dolls are wearing crawlers. The doll on the left is wearing a pixie hat and is holding an owl key ring which has light up eyes and makes a noise when the on button is pushed. The doll on the right is wearing a wee willy winkie hat and is holding a hedgehog key ring which has a light up nose and makes a noise when the button is pushed. 

Lorraine is looking at the picture of cut out sheep from a recycled Swanndri. She would like to buy five lambs cut outs which have been designed by Marie Guinibert.
