Sepia Sunday...

Today I've been trying some Super Dollfie sized clothes on my Maru & Friends Tanya, to see what does and doesn't fit these dolls.  I have a lovely outfit that a friend of mine in the US made for me some years ago and although it is a little bit tight in the chest for Tanya, I managed to get it on her.  She looks so totally different, like an old fashioned little girl.  She really reminded me of a little girl from The Railway Children, so I decided to do my photos in sepia.

Back to blogging.....

The last couple of weeks have been both busy and relaxing.  Busy because my mum and brother were over here on holiday for two weeks from the UK and relaxing because apart from the usual cooking etc., I didn't really do any sewing at all!  In fact I didn't have any dolly time whatsover, which I suppose is good in some ways......although I have to say that I do miss my dolly sewing!  So yesterday my family left to return home and I am now playing catchup.  I immediately got back to my commissions list.......I apologise to those waiting, but hope you'll appreciate that I want to spend time with my mum when she visits as I don't see her very often!!

I made 6 ra-ra skirts since yesterday, and tomorrow will start on the tops and socks to go with them, they are part of a very big commission that I have for a lady in the US.  I will add photos on here as soon as they're done.

In the meantime, I bought a cute outfit on Ebay for Ellie, my Dianna Effner Little Darling, and thought I'd share some photos of her wearing it.  It is by the very talented OliveOil*53 and is perfectly made!  It consists of a pretty dress made in owl fabric, striped knit socks and hairbow.  Very cute!

A few weeks back I said that I was more than happy with my Sasha/Gregor family and had no plans to add anyone to it in the near future....famous last words!!!   I did keep looking out for another earlier English Brunette girl, but the constant threat of falling hair put me off a bit......then last night I ended up buying a new girl on Ebay!!!  However, she is not at all what I was looking for, but I fell for her sweet face......she is going to my mums house first as the seller only ships within the UK, but hopefully she'll arrive here in Spain in a week or so and I will share her on here!!!!

Hope everyone is having a lovely summer so far!
