I'm such a huge fan of Charlie and Lola, not least for the wonderful fabrics that Lauren Child uses, and Lola's fabulous fashion sense :) If you have preschoolers and you don't know this series, I highly highly recommend it! They are just utterly charming and I like them as much (or more!) than Hazel does.
We don't get in on tv here in NZ, it's all on DVD and by word-of-mouth!
ReplyDeleteThere are heaps on You Tube and some of Season 3 (which we haven't seen) as
well which I'm going to have to sit down to watch with Hazel asap!
Eeek! I love little tidbits of info like that. What a great reason to start
ReplyDeletea series, I think I love her even more now :) There was an interview with
her on one of our DVDs and she looks exactly like how I'd imagined too,
which is always nice. I should make it a project to gather up images of all
the fabrics on the show, they'd make a great mosaic.
Charlie and Lola are my faves! I actually tear up at the sweetness of it. We haven't watched it in awhile. It never seems to be on!
ReplyDeleteOh, I always find a reason to have to sit on the couch and watch with my kids. I love Lola so much - she's just so fun. And Charlie is the best big brother ever! I read that Lauren Child started the series using precious fabrics that she didn't want to throw out; so came up with a reason to use it. I love her books; some of her fabrics are so simply beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI really adore Charlie and Lola. It is fun and I hope they put nice Dress To Thrill on them. It will be fashionable and kid-friendly as well.
ReplyDeleteeek! love that show too! especially the way they talk, like an "ice lolly" instead of a popsicle! i'm always trying to get my little kansas kids to talk like them ;)

I ADORE Charlie and Lola too. The stories are great, with so many wonderful messages, the illustrations are fabulous and I love the voices of the characters. Have fun making the dress - I'm sure it will be very lovely and adorable :)
ReplyDeleteI'm very envious that you have a little girl who wants you to make her a lola dress... my little boy is definitely never going to want one. I also love Charlie and Lola, in fact I set it to record for me to watch as my little boy at only 18 months isn't interested in it yet.
ReplyDeletewow, what a cool mum you are, making a LOla dress!
ReplyDeleteany little girls dream come true.
looking forward to seeing it.
