Waiting In The Wings......

Are three very excited girls wanting to make their entrance onto the stage. They have been practising and are now ready to show you what they can do. These girls are sisters, not always devoted to each other but, when it comes down to it they love each other and know what is right.

Mary - Is the eldest of the three. She has a great sense of what is required of her and is strong willed but, sometimes she wants to break free and do her own thing.



Edith - Is the middle sister and is sometimes overlooked by her family and often she causes mischief to get her own back. Deep down she is very loving and she is loved.



Sybil - Is the youngest of the sisters and the youngest member of the troupe. She is a daring girl and likes to shock but she is also the most kindest and caring of girls. Sybil has an ambition to be a nurse.


Exit stage left.

Encore!

Take a bow girls.



There! I knew they were ready to meet their public. I love the fabric I found the other day and think it will make the perfect backing.


This morning I came downstairs to make a cup of tea and the light filtering through the window blinds was highlighting the trees outside and it looked pretty amazing.




Happy Stitching.

Shirley.

  1. Love the colourful stitched dollies and how clever of you to name them after the characters in Downton Abbey - I have just finished watching the DVD for series 2 and hope there will be more.

  2. Love your girls, of course they are better in the flesh!
    I have 3 sisters, so maybe we are these girls.
    I've seen some stunning sunsets these last couple of days, the trees always look spectacular this time of year
