Teddy!

This is Teddy in his new green car.

We think he is very nice.

We haven't met him yet.

He lives far away and lives with Tante Andrea.

She took this picture.

The girls visiting Teddy live with Tante Becca.

Maman has bought many nice things from Tante Becca.

We have furnished the Bleu Manoir with the nice things.

School time?

This very spiffy school outfit was made by Tante Nedra.

Chantal is the one wearing it.

The picture is by her Maman, Carolyn.

Isn't this a really nice picture?

I love the school bag!

A new BSC challenge!

Isn't this a very pretty page of paper dolls?

They are very old.

Tante Melissa has a new challenge at BSC. 

All the Mamans are supposed to try to make a Lettie Lane paper doll pattern for their own Bleuettes.

There is one problem with this challenge for Maman.

She finds it really hard to create patterns.

But she might try this for baby Bambino. He has been without any new clothes for a whole year now.

Maybe he will turn into a little girl. Tee hee...

Here are some more things for Bambino.

I think I will print these out and cut them out.

We all love paper dolls at the Bleu Manoir!

Love from Robinette. 

Pouting prize!

We had LOTS of fun with the pouting challenge!

Maman decided to have a prize.

She put all the names in a basket.

Tante Leona who lives here too drew a name.

The winner is:

Tante Annick!

I am sure her girls will love this fabric.

I would like a new dress from it too.

Tante Annick also gets lots of clothespins.

Maybe her girls will hang their clothes outside and save energy.

We hang out clothes out when it is sunny.

Congratulations Tante Annick!

Love from Robinette.

Day 2: pouting challenge!

Robinette and Helena have decided to make a couch.

The Bleu Manoir doesn't have one yet.

The blue velvet fabric is from a thrift store, and was only $2.99!

The rattan bench is old and was from an antique store. It was $6.00.

This is the Before picture.

Helena helps Robinette puff up the cotton batting before putting the blue velvet on.

Both of them love the feeling of the blue velvet.

They work hard at sewing a hem and tucking in the fabric at the sides.

The finished couch looks very nice.

Robinette and Helena both enjoy the comfort of sitting in a soft place after all their hard work!

The pouting challenge is fun.

Our friend, Madeline.

Well, we think this is Madeline.

She has a nice new wig.

Or else it's her fairly new sister.

We are not sure!

But we do love her new bathing suit and pool ring!

Pouting Week at BSC!

Today is my first birthday being with cher Maman!

She found me one year ago today!

We went into the country for a pretty drive in the rain today.

What else is there to do in the rain?

We also did a lot of shopping.

We stopped at an Elvis Cafe for lunch.

You can see that Elvis is still in the building.

I thought it was fun to go to all these places.

This is in Ft. Langley.

I am looking at the juke box.

We were not sure how to turn it on.

We didn't stay here long.

We went to a very big antique store around the corner.

Maman bought the bee-oo-tiful garden swing you see me on in the top photo.

I just love it.

I had a very special birthday.

Today is Day 1 of the Pouting Challenge at BSC.

I think this will be a fun week!

Love from Robinette
