Pink Overalls

Pink Overalls
I just finished another another pair of dungarees using the same pattern from the book The Doll Dressmaker by Venus A. Dodge.

  


Vera is modeling the new overalls with a t-shirt that I bought recently. I am not sure why, but this pair is a little tight in the hip area, even though the fabric is very similar. I am thinking that maybe while cutting the fabric, I cut a few millimeters less. I will have to remember to be careful next time if making another pair!







The girls look cute! It was a fun sewing project and worth trying.

Picnic with the dogs

The weather is now much more comfortable for walking and taking pictures than it was this summer. It was a warm, beautiful day. I took my dolls to the park to take some pictures. We did not go far, just explored close to home. Some other day we will go deeper into the park and around the lake.

Vera changed her dress and shoes for a more comfortable outfit. They packed some lunch, water, and a blanket into their backpack, and they were ready for the promised trip outside.


Today Vera and Anthony took their dogs for a walk.




It was windy and a little complicated to lay the blanket alone. Vera wanted to help but she had to hold the dogs.


Anthony managed. They brought mostly healthy snacks for their picnic.


They spotted a ginger cat and were wondering why it was alone, and whether it lives in the park. 


The cat seemed to know where to go. 






The cat went deep in the park. It looks like he or she knows the area very well.

















Vera got a camera recently and was practicing taking pictures.






She was very excited to snap pictures of: a bee,

a white butterfly,


and a beautiful yellow bird that we've never seen before in this area. I'm not sure of the name. 





Behind the scenes: my daughter helped me with setting up.
