Sasha Festival 2021 - post 2

Thursday was Registration and Meet & Great, and I didn’t take any pictures at either. I did collect donations for the raffle baby, get my registration information, eat enough nibbles to call it dinner, and catch up with some old friends and meet a couple of new people. All in all a successful start to the festival.

Around 9:00 I started assembling the raffle baby doll display. I had a general vision, but laying out the clothes and pinning then to the foam board took multiple tries. Arranging the shelf and toys was the fun part! I hope people like this as much as I do and buy lots of raffle tickets to earn funds for future festivals.

Here’s the description by the ticket box. A big thank you to everyone who donated items to provide lots of toys and clothes for this little guy.

The full display: lots of cute colorful clothing for both cold and warm weather, five pairs of shoes, diapers, a cozy place for a nap, a floor quilt in front of the toy shelf, and lots of toys and books.

Nap space with a nest, flannel blanket, stuffed bunny, bottle, and dummy. He may not need much coaxing to crawl over to rest once he’s done playing.

The toy shelf, made by my husband with his laser cutter, with six plastic bins filled with lots of toys and books. Baby is stringing some beads to practice his dexterity. Alphabet blocks, Fisher Price bus, phone, stacker, cars, Rainbow Care Bear, books about colors, a pull toy, a stacking wooden rainbow… Do you see any toys you or your children had as babies?

Right now he’s in a fran-made romper, but some lucky person is going to get to dress him over and over in this great wardrobe. Here are close ups of some of the clothing items made and donated by my generous Sasha friends:

This was a lot of work but also a lot of fun to dream up and coordinate implementation. It’s nice to see a vision come together into reality, though I couldn’t have done it alone. Thank you again everyone!
