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?
