Reversible A-Line Top and Capris Pants for Toddler

Hello again!
Well, took my first exam for psychology and did pretty well: 93. Waiting for the grade after mastery....

So, as a reward I bought some fun fabric that was a great price and sewed up an item to sell on Etsy! It's for a 12 month old or a toddler 18-21 lbs.

Not long ago, I was rummaging and weeding through some old patterns, trying to decide which to keep (which was most!!! LOL!). Ever since then, I have been dying to sew up some old patterns which I used to make for my daughters.

HOLLY

Hello again!
This is Holly. She has been recently reborn.




This 20" doll was a lot of fun to create. Nice to see Holly finished; she took a little while to paint.

Holly has several layers of the skin tones, a mottling layer, and a few layers of blushing. I hand drew each hair which was a few hours of rendering. I also attached delicate eyelashes onto Holly, giving her more realistic details. Will post final pics when she has her outfit and is listed on ebay!

Blood Poisoning

Aaarg! I can't believe it! I have blood poisoning, again. Four years ago, I had a nasty burn on my arm and after a few days, I saw the tell-tale tracks going up my arm. Well, for the last couple days, my hand had been really hurting. Finally this morning I noticed a thick red track going up my arm. Sure enough, doctor agreed and for the first time in over a year, he recommended a shot of antibiotics to a patient (me!).

Not sure which hurts more, the vein or the butt. I think honestly, the butt.

Finished Hair on Actual Doll (Again)

Hello again!
Here's another doll's hair, which I've finished. It's name is STORMY, (sculpted by Donna RuBert). Once the eyes are in and the body's stuffed I'll post the hole doll.

Must admit, even better than the last.


Haven't been reborning very long (4th doll) but already I am in love with the craft! With each one, I learn so much more and look forward to starting the next. The dolls are so beautiful and these are not the most expensive kits, either!

I am not the only one that is in love with the craft... my younger daughter (my mini-me is also loves these dolls and is only thrilled to adopt the ones I've finished! LOL!)

Thank you for stopping by. I hope you like these dolls as much as me and enjoy seeing their progress.

I'll be posting more soon.... Please come again.

Practice, Practice, Practice!

Hello again!
Snow day and thought it would be a good day to practice the hair painting. Since I don't have a doll on which to practice, I figured my craft table would be a good place!
