Arabella Molly gets some wellies.

Yes, that is the name the doll has acquired. 
I got an e-mail "Please can you tell Granny that Arabella Molly needs some wellies" I also heard that enquiries had been made as to whether Granny had been told, and if so, how long was it going to take! She had to be told that it was going to be difficult to find that size of wellies.

Of course no such thing exists to buy but I did find a pattern here, and established that the doll they were designed for was a pretty good match in shape and size.

I asked what colour - I had thought black, because we are in a Katie Morag phase at the moment, but what I got back was "Madam says blue" - I just hope madam remembers that when they are handed over.

I bought two squares of felt and Bondawebbed them together with a piece of nylon net in the middle for extra rigidity. Though I say it myself, I am really pleased with them. Acid test comes when I visit next week. Fortunately Madam will be at Nursery when I get there, so I shall be able to give them a trial on the quiet, and if they don't work, they won't see the light of day!
