Bike ride

I've had Samantha's bike riding outfit for a while but it hasn't been the weather for trying it on yet.

Pippa was so wanting to go for a ride, last weekend she thought she'd try the outfit on first, just in case.

It comes with a hat

that is a little big for her head

a beautifully embroidered white shirt, bike riding pants, boot covers and a pink bow for her hair attached to a hair elastic, hmm I better consult the catalogue to get the names of these things right

Samantha's Bicycling Outfit

bloomers, embroidered blouse, pink hairbow, faux straw hat and removeable garters

having her hair in a pony tail

helps keep the hat out of her eyes

the garters

don't fit around boots (My American Girl meet outfit boots)

brochure - there is something black and shiny under there - might be her meet black mary janes, silly shoes for riding a bike in in my opinion

the elastic goes under the sole

Anyway, the decision was not to wear this on this particular day, it was quite cold and very windy and the hat was most likely to end up blowing away, so Pippa re-dressed in her previous outfit, and went off to see if Llewellyn would join her for a ride

Llewellyn was very keen to try out her new bike, Miriam no bike but inline skates was coming too, but the road close to home is very unskate friendly, so they asked to be taken down to the bike path that goes around the dam

Hmmm, no bike rack

The safer option (in the boot)

Miss Trinity, which one are you?

Trinity was still curious as to what Tzeitel was trying to crochet from the catalogue, and as it had been left alone for a little while she took the opportunity to try to get to the bottom of it....

but, got a little bit distracted

wow, Truly Me, just like Tauralie

oooh, pretty

I wonder if I'm in there

silly girls Pudding, they're in their swimmers, brrrrr

hoh, theres you Pudd

Grace! Oh, is that what she looks like?

Like her hat, but mines better.

Grace Grace Grace Grace.

Hmmm, it's nearly August and she'll be gone. I wonder who I will wish for next Xmas, maybe she'll come instead. You were my Xmas present Pudding last year, best Xmas ever, so I don't need the girl of the year, even if she has pretty blue eyes.

Caroline has hives, thats sad.

There's Llewellyn, wow theres lots of dogs in here

Pippa

hey Pippa, there's you

That's my pretty pink dress

Hey Mariana, you used to have pigtails.

I did, but I wanted to wear my hair out.

Is this you? Maybe a family member?

Well, I don't think I'm related. Kaya's family were nomadic Indians, my family comes from a place closer to Mexico, we live in pueblo houses, not skin tents 

she has some really nice things though.

Hey big Emily, is this you?

K-i-t, Kit.

Oh I know it says Kit, but you've got blonde hair and blue eyes, I just thought you might be a look alike doll, I didn't want you to miss out on being in the magazine.

Emily and I are cousins from Australia. We aren't in your book.

Never mind. We both have curly hair, you could pretend to be me 

Hey Pompom whiskers the book says you are a Rebecca.

Yes, I was once, we do have alot in common, hmm except that swimsuit, I'm not sure I would have that.

Hehehehe, it is funny.

Would I be able to have the book back now?

This ones got more in it

Including Addy!

Addy! Hoh she is my favourite. I look a little bit like her, but she has darker skin and hair, bit like Mercedes

and look at that dress, hmmm I wonder if Catherine will get me that dress, and I can pretend to be Addy 

oooh

or that silver one

Two of Everything

Hey PomPom Whiskers, what you're doing?

Hi Trini, just crocheting something

What is it?

Oh, nothing really, just two things Catherine asked me to try make.

Two?

Yep.

Can I see?

Ooh, not yet, it's not quite going as I'd hoped and well,

I do have these for you though

Yay! Pompom whiskers

Come on Pudding, lets play

Hello Pippa, what are you doing?

Are you having a sack race, by yourself?

Hahaha, no, I'm helping Catherine measure out these two socks, to make stockings.

Two hey?

Yep, eh, do you think they're up high enough?

What's happening in the sewing room Pudd? A pattern. It says cut two.

I do wonder whats going on

Samantha's bicycling outfit

the hat is a little bit too big. Maybe an up do with the ribbon (its on a hair band) will help give size to her head

beatiful embroidery on this shirt
