Ellie Loves to Rollerskate!

Ellie LOVES to roller skate!

She is dressed in a pair of jeans and a simple teeshirt.

Her hair is in cute braids.

Doesn't she look better now?

Ellie had a few "chew marks" on her right leg from prior play.

I completely sanitized her body.

Then I made a permanent "ace bandage" from moldable plastic.

I've included a pair of cute boots in her package,

in case she wants to wear a dress.

These little dolls sometimes come with "boo-boos" and I do my best to mention them in the ad so there are no surprised.

The problems are always cosmetic, and when dressed, don't show.

I feel they are worth saving, even if imperfect.

Don't you agree?

Here is Abby!

She's all dressed up for summer!

A Few New Asian Dolls in My Shop

It seems there are not a lot of Asian dolls available for mothers to buy.

This week I worked on three more dolls and put them in my shop:

Kin has beautiful long red hair and light skin. 

She has a boo-boo on her leg that she got climbing a tree today. 

She is dressed in short pajamas, a white tee shirt, and a blue robe 

and is carrying her stuffed froggie.

Akiko is dressed in a little blue skirt and white top with suspenders.

She is wearing pink boots and has pink ribbons in her hair.

Leia is a new doll who has been repainted.

She is dressed in a flowered dress.

Her pretty hair has a headband and a pink rose.

She is wearing pink Mary Janes.

LDS Missionary Doll

A few weeks ago, I created this LDS Missionary Doll.
I realize the missionaries are not allowed to wear bow ties.
I need to make or find a "real" tie!
But isn't he cute?

My Little Albino Chinese Doll

I finished dressing my little Chinese dolls and sent them off to their happy owner.  One doll was a regular Bratz and so does not have Asian features, but the other 3 most certainly do.  Here they are:

I love these little dresses by Trails Crafts!

Another modest but modern outfit.

Isn't she sweet?

A Bratz repaint in a Trails Craft dress

It's back to the grind today, trying to get dolls into the shop so I can have my weekend to myself.

Etsy is crawling with repainted dolls this week - they seem to be coming out of the woodwork. I'm hoping customers will recognize the skill and care I put into my dolls.

Each one is like a new little grandchild.
Isn't that funny?
