About mountainmullins

Sasha doll collector primarily plus other interesting dolls. I inheirited my love of dolls from my dear Mother and also her collection. My first Sasha doll was Gwennie, a redheaded studio doll. Since Gwennie, I have collected other Sasha dolls and love their individual personalities created by their eye painting, hair color and styling, and dressing them. It is such fun to share with other collectors!

Signs of Spring

So wonderful to feel the warmer air and the sun’s rays on your face! The earth is waking up after a long winter’s sleep. 🙂

Betsy is enjoying the day outdoors. She is leaning against a shed that managed to survive not only the pounding and weight of ice and snow but also the tremendous weight of a pine tree that landed on its roof!

image
Betsy is wearing a cheery jacket made by Ginny of a Passion for Sasha and crisp new jeans made by Judith of Dollydoodles. 🙂

image
Betsy was not alone as her twin sister Ellie and new brother, Johnny joined in the fun!

image
As you can see, my dear husband has been working hard sawing the fallen trees into logs.

image
You can see the base of one of the fallen trees on top of the hill.

image
The toddlers just think it is fun in the sun but Daddy thinks it is work! I put a sheet down to protect their new outfits.  Though it is sunny, the ground is damp and cold from the recent snow fall and melting.

Sweet Ellie is wearing a lovely new sweater and hat knitted by Diane Duke and she has crisp, new jeans like Betsy’s and made by Judith of Dollydoodles. ❤

Hi, It’s Me! Gracie! Psssssst, Don’t Tell Mummy Pretty, Pretty, Please!!

Image

Hi everyone, it is me, Gracie! I am really having fun here at the Sasha Shangri-La farm playing with my brothers and sisters each and every day!  Mummy bought me a new dress that was made by Auntie Diane Duke in the UK. But Mummy made me wait ever so long, an eternity really, to open the shipping package.  Mummy would reassure me that she loves me and that she wants me to see my new dress but then she would kiss me, gently put me in my chair, and tell me goodbye.  Mummy would then leave and go someplace called “work”.  She spends ever so much time there at “work” and she is not here with me!   I really do not think it is fair to all of us here on the farm because we want Mummy to be with us each and every day and all of the time!

So, I am writing today and Mummy is not here at all.  She left her Ipad on her bed and well, you all know by now that I have memorized her passwords, so I am blog posting for my dear sweet Mummy to help free up her time and then she will be with us even more!!   We love and miss you Mummy, come home please, please. Pretty please with sugar on top! ❤

image
Here I am again and I want you to see how Mummy “reads” her books most of the time. This is an Ipad and Mummy purchases audible books that are narrated and she listens to them often. Mummy says it helps her because she listens on her drive to “work” and back home plus Mummy listens at home because she says it frees-up her eyes and hands up so that she can spend more time with me–Gracie!!!  Oh, and also with everyone else living here too!  It is hard to sit still while Mummy is away but I do try so very, very hard to be a good little girl….I just know Mummy will be so happy that I posted her photos for her! 🙂

image
Mummy is listening to a mystery book by M.C. Beaton and about Agatha Raisin and the reader is Penelope Keith.  I love to hear her voice very much and the sound of it reminds me of other happy places I have been before Mummy adopted me. 🙂

Mummy did dress me in this one piece undergarment, socks and shoes and these were all made by Thu Cuc Faes.  She put this clip in my hair so I am getting an idea of the colors that I will see in my new dress! I can hardly wait!!!!! 🙂

image
Just lookie!!!  Mummy opened the package and look at the pretty colors in my new dress!  Plus, look, look, a present from Auntie Diane just for me, Gracie!   How very sweet of Auntie Diane!  Thank you! ❤

image
Mummy took this close up photo so you can see how happy I am! 🙂

image
I asked Mummy if I could open my present first and she said yes!!!   I wonder what is inside???

image
Oh my, it is a perfect, pink teddy bear and it is just for me! I love this teddy so very much! Thank you Auntie Diane!!! ❤

image
The gift bag is so very pretty with its floral pattern and I think it makes a lovely hat! Don’t you??? 🙂

image
I feel like such a big girl wearing my new hat!  How happy am I. 🙂

image
Here is my new dress! Isn’t it so very pretty and it is so soft too! 🙂

image
I am such a happy Gracie now! Look at Auntie Diane’s tag.  It has a flower on it!  I love all of my new things very much! ❤

image

Mummy asked me to put my new hat away for some photos that will show my pretty  hair clip. 🙂

image
My pink teddy feels so soft too. I am one happy girl! 🙂

image
Mummy says that she loves taking photos of me!  I like it too! 🙂

image
A last photo taken on Mummy’s bed. Next, we are going to show a few photos of me standing up! 🙂

image
Hi again, it’s me Gracie and I am standing up like a big girl! 🙂

image
Isn’t it nice how good you feel inside when you wear a new dress? I feel very happy! 🙂

image
A nice full length view of me Gracie! 🙂

image
Teddy and I want to thank you for visiting us today and for not telling Mummy! I think she will be so happy when she comes home from “work” and sees how her little Gracie has helped her once again!  Maybe we will “read” a book together! 🙂

image
Teddy and I are sending you big hugs and loving wishes for the rest of the week to come.  Much love coming from us to you!!  I hope Mummy comes home soon! ❤ xxx

No Navels in the Snow

Image

image
There are two no navel Gotz Sasha dolls that live here at Sasha Shangri-La. I haven’t shown this sweet pair in a while and they were both getting stir crazy! So, here they are! 🙂

image
Hazel is sitting in the sled and sister Sarah is pulling her…or trying to pull her! We are very happy that the snow stopped falling and the beautiful sun peeked out today! 🙂

image
These girls look so small compared to their snowy landscape. Their sled tended to sink into the deep snow.

image
So they tried some of the areas where the snow was compacted by tire treads.

image
This worked much better! 🙂

image
Wee!!!!! They love the snow! ❤

image
A last look at the snowy scenery.

image
My son was outdoors with me to help shake the snow off of the lower tree limbs. So he took a photo of Mom with a very big smile and having a great day outdoors with Sasha dolls. A very happy Mom thanks you for visiting and wishes you a happy weekend!!! 🙂 xxx
