Greyhouse Manor Winter Ball


This is my 2-page spread that I made with Lorie's Greymouse Manor Winter Ball collection. It is my ode to Angelina Ballerina.

The series featured actress Finty Williams as the voice of Angelina, and her mother Judi Dench as Miss Lilly. The series aired on PBS in the United States and can currently be seen on Nick Jr. in the UK and PBS Kids Sprout in the US. The cast of Angelina Ballerina:

  • Angelina Mouseling is a little mouse who loves to dance and dreams of becoming a famous ballerina. Voiced by Finty Williams. She often wears a pink leotard, pink tutu, pink hair ribbon, and pink ballet slippers.
  • William Longtail is one of two boys (the other is Angelina's cousin Henry) in Miss Lilly's ballet class. He is in love with Angelina. Voiced by Keith Wickham.
  • Alice Nimbletoes is Angelina's best friend, who is very skilled at gymnastics. Voiced by Jo Wyatt. She often wears a green leotard, tutu, hair ribbon, and ballet slippers.
  • Miss Lilly is Angelina's ballet teacher. She grew up in Dachovia, a far-away land. Voiced by Judi Dench.
  • Penelope and Priscilla Pinkpaws are twin sisters who tease and belittle nearly everyone, sometimes including each other. They are particularly jealous of Angelina for her dancing ability. They also have a new baby brother. Voiced by Jonell Elliott and Jo Wyatt. Priscilla wears blue leotards, tutus, and pointe shoes but wears a purple hair ribbon, and Penelope wears a purple leotard, tutu, and ballet slippers, but wears a blue hair ribbon.
  • Sammy Watts is an older mouse in Angelina's school, who often causes trouble for William and Angelina particularly but has a heart of gold. Voiced by Jo Wyatt.
  • Mr. Maurice Mouseling is Angelina's father and the proprietor of the Mouseland Gazette. Voiced by Keith Wickham.
  • Mrs. Mouseling is Angelina's mother. Voiced by Jonell Elliott.
  • Polly Mouseling is the second child and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Mouseling, little sister of Angelina, and second cousin of Henry.
  • Grandma and Grandpa are Angelina's grandparents. Voiced by Keith Wickham and Adrienne Posta.
  • Uncle Louis is Mr. Mouseling's brother, Angelina's uncle and Henry's father. Voiced by Rob Rackstraw.
  • Henry is Angelina's little cousin. Voiced by Jo Wyatt.
  • Mrs Hodgepodge is Angelina's next-door neighbour. She always seems grumpy and is viewed with fear by most of the Chipping Cheddar mouselings, but occasionally she helps the mouselings often when they least expect it. Voiced by Mellissa Greenspann (Season 1). Usually, Finty Williams (Season 2-until the show cancelled).
  • Doctor Tuttle is the doctor in the town of Chipping Cheddar. Voiced by Keith Wickham.
  • Mr. Operatski is an old friend of Miss Lilly's. Angelina is convinced wrongly, as it turns out that he hates mouselings. He has a moustache and a medium-pitched Russian accent. Voied by Derek Jacobi.
  • Queen Seraphina is a childhood friend of Miss Lilly's, who is now the Queen of Mouseland.She might had been inspired by the late Princess Diana.
  • Princess Valentine is the daughter of Queen Seraphina.
  • Anya is a mouseling who comes to Chipping Cheddar as part of a migrant family working through the harvest season. She is teased by the Pinkpaws twins, and befriended by Angelina. She later joins Miss Lilly's ballet class.


This is Lorie Davison's latest kit...isn't it fabulous? It instantly reminded me of times I spent with Kaylie watching ANGELINA BALLERINA on PBS. Kaylie loved watching Angelina and Alice doing their pirouttes, while little Henry followed them around.

GREYHOUSE MANOR WINTER BALL
is chuck full of fabulous elements and wonderful winter scenery. I am always inspired by Lorie's designs. She is a gifted artist, as well as a sweet, kind and caring person.
