The Past Seven (or so) Days

I’ve been hogging the limelight with new ensembles all week long, so here are some casual shots from the week that you might enjoy looking at.

As you can see, I am still in a pink mood. Aren’t all of these pink rose prints lovely? A couple are new and three of them were used last year, but I still have LOTS more to make more dresses with. I like laying them out in a little collection for a few days.

The peach pink rose print pictured above is being made into a dress to go with this cardigan for Patience.

After my last couple of embroidery projects I was left with quite a mess. It’s all cleaned up now, but I’ve begun a new mess. 😳

Here is Lucy’s dress in progress. You are looking at the wrong side that’s why it is looking so washed out. It is a lilac-y pink rose print. Here is Lucy wearing the dress. One of the mohair sweaters that I knit in January will be embroidered to go with this dress.

I needed a little bit of cheering up on this dreary Monday morning; Lucy did the trick.

Lucy borrowed the carrot red mohair wig from Penny and wears it quite well too. I’m not sure who wears it better. Below is a picture of Penny during our photo shoot for “Pretty in Purples”.

Bye for now! Have a great week!

What’s Penny’s Best Look?

29 Replies

I have found with my dolls that there is alway a specific hair color and/or style that most often looks the best on them. There are exceptions, of course, but I find that after I’ve had a doll for a time, I find her “look”. I’m still searching for Penny’s look; I’ve only had her for a few months, so it’s still early.

This morning I tried multiple wigs on her with her new crocheted cap. What do you think? Any standouts?

This is the wig that I first put on her to take her photos wearing her new outfit. It is a Kemper Giselle mohair bob in Medium Brown. Gina (my Little Darling) wears this wig often as she looks best as a brunette.

This is Gina’s favorite wig; another Kemper mohair wig in light brown, called Hannah.

This mohair wig by Kemper is called Tomboy and the color is auburn. It is a strange wig (I think), but looks cute with a hat. Gina looks cute in it too. You can see her here.

This Kemper mohair wig is called Raven and is in carrot red. It is very silky and very red. I think Penny looks great as a redhead; the strands of mohair on this wig are way too long for Penny though. I could always trim it if it becomes Penny’s best look.

I like Penny as a blonde too. Here she is in the Giselle wig again, but in the pale pale blonde color.

Hmm, what do you think? Maybe I need to buy more wigs?

Let me know if you have a favorite.

Bye for now!

“Feelin’ Love-ly” for Penny

6 Replies

Here is my newest girl modeling her second ensemble that I’ve made for her. It’s a cozy sweater dress set made with one of my favorite colors of wool. The color is a warm pink heather with subtle hints of plum and red orange, so I brought the colors of plum and peach into my embroidery.

Today, Penny is a blue-eyed blonde, so innocent and sweet. And, she has a bouquet for you. Would you like to accept it?
