So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye!

I think it is finally time for little Angelina to go back home to her mum.  She's been here now for more than a month, having arrived some time in December.....and prior to that I know she was with Dee in the UK, so I feel it is time for her to leave....she is a little homesick and misses her mum and their farm.  It has been lovely having her to visit, she's a very sweet little Toddler and a cute size to sew for!

I hope she's enjoyed herself staying with us and learned a few Spanish words too....hopefully not naughty ones though, not like my own son did, very quickly, when he first came here :)

Here are just a couple of photos of Angelina taken in the garden today.  I made her a new coat and striped leggings, and she wanted to model them in the sunshine....it was really quite warm today and not really necessary for her to have the hood up, but well we all know what Toddlers can be like...very determined!!!!  The coat is fully lined with checked cotton, except for the hood which is lined with a constrasting corderoy.

The coat isn't really 'wonky' at the front, I think it's the way she's standing! (Well I hope not anyway!!!!!) ;)

The little farm girl and the wolf!

It would appear that you can take the girl out of the farm, but you can't take the farm out of the girl....little Angelina has been making herself very busy this morning digging up vegetables from the garden, she really has been earning her keep ;)

"Tita Sharon, can I goes out in the garden and dig up veggies for you please?"  was the first thing I heard this morning on entering the playroom.

I was more than happy for the little sweetie to go out in the garden, after all the sun was shining, it was quite warm enough and she now has 'farm pants' to wear.....so off she 'toddled' with her shovel and her trolley, her hair pulled back in gingham tied pigtails :)

I gave her an apple to eat and later noticed her sitting nicely in the shade of the lemon tree....she'd obviously been very busy as she now had her red trolley full of vegetables!!!

Wait a minute!  Who's that little white fellow in the trolley with all the veggies?  It seems Angelina has found herself a new friend!

"Yes Tita, he's mine new friend!" (She speaks like her brother Connor back home in  Wales, as you would expect!) ;)  "Can I'm keep him?  Pleeeeze!"

Before I could answer, there was an almost catastrophe.....or would that be a dogostrophe? ;)  Shock horror!  Along came a big hairy wolf and snook straight up to the trolley and whisked the poor little rabbit away, licking it's chops with glee at the thought of a nice rabbity luncheon!!!

Luckily though, I was able to whisk the poor creature out of the clutches of the big scary 'wolf' and apart from a bit of slobber, the little white rabbit was unharmed....if a bit scared after it's ordeal.  He hopped quickly onto the rock where Angelina had been sitting eating her apple.

Angelina though, was a little upset....poor child!  Especially when she saw that the little rabbit had lost a small piece of his fur.....big naughty wolf!

She carefully placed him back in the cart with an extra carrot.....and made her way back inside.  She didn't want anything else to happen to her new little friend!!!

Hope you liked my little 'story'.....I'm hopeless at stories!!!  And also that you like her new farm pants and tee shirt that I finished this morning. 

She wants to just show you her matching stripey socks before she goes off to play in the playroom with her new friend!

No rabbits, Toddlers, chihuahuas, vegetables or WOLVES were hurt in the making of this blog post ;)
