Dallin and Camille's Wedding

This past week I have been busily editing my brother's wedding photos. I couldn't have wished for a more perfect day. It was beautiful. I am glad to see my brother so happy.

Pose Doll Makeover

A few weeks ago I saw this pose doll. They are a dime a dozen at thrift stores. I almost always see one  every time I go in. Pose dolls remind me of my grandma. She had quite a few and I remember admiring them as a little girl. I thought their dresses were so pretty back then. Now I just think they are super gaudy, but I still love their cute mod- style faces.

This particular doll was smaller than most pose dolls I had seen and I decided she would make a fun project to make over. 


The first thing I did was remove the ugly Holly Hobbie red dress and bonnet. The dress and hat were glued on so it took awhile to remove. 

I was then left with a styrofoam body,these cute cream high heels, and her stand. I guess this pose doll's name is Sherry. 


I had a vintage doll dress in my stash that fit Sherry perfectly. I attached the dress to her body with sewing pins. Then I went to my button stash and made her a crown attaching it to her head with hot glue.


Her arms were plastic half way up. It looked funny just leaving that part flesh colored. So I painted the plastic part of the arms gold to make them look like gloves. 


I then re-did her make up just a bit. I took some pink pastel and gave her rosy cheeks. I also painted on some blue eye shadow to match her new dress. 

Sherry has gone from Miss Priss to Princess Cutie Kitsch. 

I made over a Pose doll today. I blogged about this. See profile.
She looks happy with the fresh new makeover.

Ivy

Just finished a new custom blythe doll.

Sweetie

Her name is Ivy.

Ivy's lids

She was previously owned. I really liked what the previous owner had done to her lids. So I used that as inspiration for the rest of her.

Miss Ivy

I love her cherry stained lips with hair to match.

Red Chippies

Hi Ivy

Sweet Girl

There is so much spunk and personality in her eyes.

Fiery Red

She is currently for adoption on my facebook page. Message me if you are interested.

What I Wore....


Most of the clothes I own have been thrifted. This is an outfit I threw together after I found this adorable pencil skirt at the thrift store. 





Floral and polka dots go very well together.


I threw in a cameo necklace to tie everything together.
