Some More Doll Pictures.

First, this is the stuff from my swap with Desiree.  Isn't it cool?  I love the embroidered hanky!  (Thinking about turning it into a darling dress for a Skipper.)  The little doll modeling the outfit is Phoebe--a cousin to Piper.  I recently found her in a box I was cleaning out, and I decided I would play with her a bit.  She looks adorable in that "Queen of Hearts" picture, doesn't she?



Now, THIS (below) is Tara--she is wearing a valentine dress I sewed a couple of years ago.  I think she looks very sweet in it.  Tara is one of the dolls I bought at a toy auction in Faribault a long time ago.  Things went ungodly cheap there--and if I had known I could use my credit card there--I would have spent a lot more.



This is Tara's mother, Delia.  Delia and Tara were originally the Happy Family Mom and Daughter.  I never liked the dad of that set.  Mattel has a hard time making decent looking men dolls.  I like the way Loanne Ostlie remakes them, though.  They look much more like real people and less like self-absorbed pretty boys.

Delia is wearing the knit pantsuit I got as a prize for winning the Barbie Bingo "First Five" in the Barbies R Us Yahoo group.  It is so much cuter in person that it is in the picture--so soft and the fit is PERFECT.




And here is the scarf and hat I made for Beccak.  It will probably go out in the mail today--now that I have her address again.



Have I mentioned lately that I LOVE my digital camera?

Squeeeeee! *hugs and snugs* you. I love it! The color is perfect, the hat with the little flip is too cute! I can't wait to wear it, it means so much that you made it for me, and are willing to suffer through the dreaded trip to the post office to mail it! I'll take a picture of myself wearing it:)

YAY!!!

I thought about crocheting some kind of flower to put on the brim, but I was afraid you would think it too garish.

You can always find a cool pin with a flower or something--or a button that says, "Come back, Bill, all is forgiven!" to put on there.

hehehehe

LOL! I like it just as is:)

That dress thingie on top of the hankie looks like Alice's funny Christmas outfit.

How DID you get her hair into bunchies? When I had barbies (about seven years ago...), no matter how well I treated them, the hair would always be sticking straight up in the next week. And bunchies made it look like they had twin mohawk thingies.
