This delghtful little urchin arrived at Sasha Shangri-La and her name is Sudie.  She was a waif wonderfully transformed by Kelly Wenarsky.  Sudie came in her ragged and torn outfit that might be found on a little girl living in the poorest parts of the Appalachian Mountain area.  Sudie is a child of the Appalachia as am I. ❤

Beautiful Sudie.

Kelly’s eye painting is beautiful.

Sudie felt at home immediately here on the Cow Creek farm. 😊

Sudie up close. ❤

Sudie received a new outfit for Christmas and she would like to try it on for you. Let’s get changed Sudie!!! 🎁

Sudie is warm now and is wearing lime green corduroy slacks by Michelle Sharpe, a colorful cardigan by Diane Duke, and leather boots by Ruthsdolls.  Sudie is wearing her necklace which she made herself after finding a bead and some stones while out for a walk.  She had a piece of string and put them together to create a necklace.  She loves her new outfit. ❤

The lovely Sudie.

Different photos of Sudie. 😊

Sudie wanted to share this Christmas ornament of a handcrafted mouse with a head made from teasel, commonly found in the Appalachia area. 😊

Welcome home dear Sudie. ❤

Next is a wonderful boy named Eastwood. He is custom made by Janet Myhill-Dabbs and was a raffle win by Theresa O’Neill at the first Sasha Celebration weekend. I luckily was able to adopt Eastwood and I love him! ❤

What amazing, dreamy eyes Eastwood has….the better to see you with! 😉

Eastwood has a very nice sailor outfit with wonderful felt shoes and knitted socks. 😊

A very handsome lad. ❤

Eastwood also has a Christmas outfit to wear.  Let’s go change Eastwood. 😊

Eastwood is fitting in well here on Cow Creek.  He loves the outdoors. It is raining today but we hope to play in the snow soon. ❤

A wonderful boy. 😊

Eastwood, Sudie and I want to thank you for visiting with us today.  We hope you have a wonderful day and week to come. 😊 xxx

On behalf of everyone here at Sasha Shangri-La, Baby Cal and I want to wish you a very Happy and Healthy New Year.  😊

Thank you all for visiting us here on Cow Creek during the past year and we hope you will enjoy visits with us this upcoming year in 2017. 😊 xxx

Gertie sends her joyful wishes to you and your family for a very happy Christmas. 😊

Gertie loves her baby Dimples made by Janet Myhill-Dabbs and gifted to her by her twin sister Edith. ❤️

We had a lovely Christmas here at Sasha Shangri-La.  Gertie especially likes the Christmas tree.  We were delayed this year with putting up our tree due to the wonderful wedding festivities in early December for our son Luke and his lovely bride, Mollie.

Next, on the following week, my other son moved out to his first, new home that he has bought and my husband Rick helped him with the move.  During the week following the move, my retirement celebration at work occurred along with our office Christmas party.

So all of our holiday fun has happened in the last week or so.  I am sadly behind on blogging and commenting on other blogs too.  Hopefully the new year will bring me to a happy blogging state again. 😊

Edith, Gertie’s sister sent Gertie this Santa tin for Christmas and inside was a peppermint stick and a tiny stuffed mouse.  Gertie was delighted! 😊

Good things do come in small packages! Thank you Edith. 🎁

“I am having a wonderful Christmas holiday!” Gertie shared. ❤

Gertie and I want to thank you for visiting with us today. We wish you a very happy Christmas holiday week and a very Happy and Healthy New Year in 2017. ❤ xxx
