<span style="font-size: large;">Every year the dolls at Grandma's house look forward to a party celebrating new friends and remembering old friends who have moved away. This year the party will be In late September or early in October. </span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_HsdquXJWbwN4e8247Gkhh-JMVnl0CG5fqKYWZc986c2X9H2rY8X6Qv_ThB8j_jiH4BexgbEBQjRwtMUKwADSkxTJClCkgADlEalO3qcn1e2OwqNDrgtKAWG4R5tbUyS1qGI0SUZBpizK/s1600/P8270005.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="American girl Samantha, Broken Pot Fairy Garden, Container Gardening, Doll Stories, Dolls, fairy garden, JLY #16, Just Pretend doll, Laurel The Wood Fairy, Stardust classics, Raised container Gardening, " border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_HsdquXJWbwN4e8247Gkhh-JMVnl0CG5fqKYWZc986c2X9H2rY8X6Qv_ThB8j_jiH4BexgbEBQjRwtMUKwADSkxTJClCkgADlEalO3qcn1e2OwqNDrgtKAWG4R5tbUyS1qGI0SUZBpizK/s640/P8270005.JPG" title="Meeting new Friends at Little Jo's Fairy Garden, Fairy Garden, Dolls, " width="640" /></a></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">That being
said, it should be noted that the dolls do have minds of their own. Our three newest dolls decided that they wanted to see the fairy garden that was outside the
window where they sit. They wanted to watch the hummingbirds that played above the fairy gardens. The birds were enjoying their
freedom to soar in endless swoops and dives. It does seem as if the
tiny birds are playing outside the window from the time the early
morning sun rays spread across the dew kissed gardens until the shadows of
evening start to cloak antics. </span> </div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Laurel wanted to see what was outside of the window for herself. She connived with Cheetah (the families huge cat) to sneak the door open long enough for her and Lit'l Bee (our new Effanbee baby doll) to escape for a little while. Sammie (our new AG cousin) was watching as Cheetah stretched his body as long as he was able to so that he could reach the latch on the door. Once the door opened Sammie scampered out the door right behind Laurel and Lit'l Bee. Cheetah closed the door quickly behind them Just as Grandma saw the girls escape out the door. Grandma smiled and grabbed her camera so that she could take pictures of their adventure.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Laurel enjoys watching after Lit'l Bee. Sometimes Sammie likes to watch the Lit'l Bee Doll Baby too. Lit'l Bee looks a bit afraid of the dragon that guards the entrance to the fairies cozy Flower pot home. Laurel made sure to stay close to Bee's side to help her to not be as afraid of the dragon.</span><br />

I'm Jo! I live here at grandma's house with all of the other cousin dolls. There is a doll for each of grandma's granddaughters. Now if you were to hear grandma tell her friends and neighbors about us you would think that we reside here so that she can make doll clothes for her granddaughters and use us to try the the clothes on and make sure they fit right before she gives them to her grandchildren for their dolls to wear. Now quite frankly if the truth were to be known I would tell you that grandma just plain out likes to play with the dolls. I mean really think about it..... A few weeks back when grandma was shopping she found a bitty baby doll with a really big bag of doll clothes (like the kind she is supposed to make for her granddaughters -wink, wink) except maybe because they were more like baby doll clothes (all American Girl Bitty Baby Doll clothes) , she decided she should keep the baby doll clothes here at her house until baby Gigi (grandma's youngest granddaughter) is old enough to play with them in about a year and a half (yea sure). As luck would have it grandma had found a pretty Bitty Baby twin girl doll to go with the bitty baby twin boy doll she found when she was out thrifting last summer. In the weeks that followed after that three more bitty babies (not twins) managed to hope into her shopping cart when she would be shopping at the Goodwill store and the Volunteers of America. Now instead of keeping the big bag of Bitty Baby clothes locked up until Gigi turns three years old here she is dressing them up and having tea parties with them. Just look at the pictures we took when no one was looking. <br />

I do have to say even though dolls are not supposed to eat cake, I wanted one of those cupcakes too. They were real chocolate cake with frosting and sprinkles. Oh Yummy! The Black Forrest cake in the middle of the table is not real but it is pretty tasty looking. <br />

After the tea cups and plates were cleared from the table coloring books and coloring pencils were passed around so everyone could practice the coloring skills for pretend preschool classes (hehehe.... Grandma does like to play you know).<br />

The fact of the matter is that each of these outfits were being modeled to be sold to help finance more bitty baby stuff. There were duplicates of many of the outfits so most of the duplicates were sold.<br />
<br />
Bitty Baby Darcy was dressed in the play outfit (there was three of this outfit).<br />

One of the blond bitty baby dolls was packed into the bag with all of the clothes along with two bitty baby wicker suitcases, bitty bear suitcases, a bitty baby diaper bag, onesies, a bitty baby bear Halloween outfit, a christening gown, a red velvet Christmas outfit, a purple velvet holiday dress, bottles, bitty baby food, blankets, towels and goodness gracious lots of other stuff. Another blond Bitty Baby Doll was found at the same store the next day - she is identical to the doll that was in the large clothing bag. Both are grey eyed with blond eyelashes from 1995. The clothes are from the years 1995 to about 2003. I suspect they belonged to a child or maybe two children that grew up. Someday they are going to remember these baby dolls with great affection.<br />

Every one was having so much fun getting ready for the B'Day and V'Day Tea Party that Little Jo and Nora had been planning since Christmas that Grandma Just couldn't resist taking some pictures. All of the new little babies were in the upper bunk of their new bed playing with the little stuffed animals that they had received for Valentine's Day. They each received a cute felt Valentine heart from grandma and a cute Ty stuffed animal. There were bears, puppies, and a silly little fluffy pink guinea pig. The older doll's wanted necklaces and bracelets to go with their outfits. Some of the dolls brought their musical instruments to practice on so they could perform a birthday song for Maggie (Mags turned thirteen years old this week). My goodness time does march on. So much has happened over the past few weeks. Grandma found new friends for the dolls and LOTS of fun things at the thrift stores that every dollie wants and needs. Like a purple day bed and a pink bunk bed with pink flowers stenciled on the sides...... <br />

And a darling puppy plush toy the perfect size to be Nora's new BFF. He is a black and tan boxer pup that has been named Pugsly. See Pugsly sitting between our new friends Molly and a doll named JLY #23 (we all think that is a silly name for a girl) we don't know her forever name yet but we are thinking about it. That's me (little Jo) with our new baby cousin Genie doll. Real baby cousin Genie is walking and running all over the place now. Oh yea, she is starting to talk too!<br />

The most fun we had all week was playing with the new baby dolls. They are so cute! First a Bitty Twin Girl Dill with pretty brown hair jumped into the cart at the Goodwill store. She had the cute pink onesie AG sleeper on and a very messy pony tail scrunched onto the top of her head. She has a couple of little mark's on her chin and left cheek but Grandma is bleaching them with Zap-Zit Benzoil Peroxide. It works best in direct sun light but there is very little sun shining here in Ohio during the month of February.<br />

Not too long after that a Bitty Baby jumped in the shopping cart at the VOA store up the street and around the corner (just two blocks past the Goodwill store) Bitty baby had no clothes on and was just laying there amongst a tangled mess of arms and legs of dozens of baby dolls all in one big laundry basket.<br />

Today Bitty baby has a cute little pink and yellow dress with a pair of yellow and white socks and white bloomers on. With her forest green heart toting plush frog she looks like she is ready for the V'Day party. The little fellow between Bitty Twin Girl And Bitty Baby is thought to be a Berenguer Lots Of Love baby doll. He has a Beanie Baby Pink Dazzler plush bear. He was in the basket with .......<br />

Our new Genie dolly. </div>
Genie is a BSB (Baby So Beautiful) doll. She came is this pretty floral dress and she has wigged hair. The hair is nice and full, very cute! She has a Ty plush animal named Rosa - that looks like a Guinea Pig to me!<br />

We also came across some big girl dolls over the last week or so. It all started when grandma got the hankering to go out thrift shopping after dinner (just to walk off a few calories, Hehehe). We always start in the toy room first. There are many bags of little things in bags that cost from 90 cents to $2.92 for the bigger bags. The bag with all of the Ty Mini plush animals was a $1.91 for all of the cute Valentine toys. Grandma was kind of staring down to the end of the toy room with a strange look on her face. She looked as if she had seen an apparition. She had to get closer to if what she thought she was looking at was really there. As we approached grandma's face took on a happy look. A great big smile broke out when she realized that she was looking at a perfect new wooden doll bunk bed trimmed in pink. She lifted the beds into our cart before you could blink an eye! Then, as she looked down to where the bed had been she saw a brand new Battat purple wrought iron trundle day bed with all of it's pieces still attached with plastic barbs. Again the metal bed was hoisted into the cart in a heartbeat. Grandma was beaming her happy face when suddenly her mouth dropped open and gasped at the sight of a Disney princess fold out doll size sofa bed. She looked at it for a moment and saw that it had indeed been used but it was still very sturdy. She popped the Disney sofa bed into the cart and walked off to pay for every thing before anything could "disappear". We were standing happily in line next to the display counter looking at the pricier items displayed on the shelves behind the counter when suddenly grandma's mouth dropped open again and she started looking for one of the clerks to show her a doll that was sitting at the very end of the shelf. My goodness it was a Molly doll! Grandma said she would take her before she even saw the price. Our purchases were rang up and we were out of there with everything for under thirty dollars!!!<br />

Every girl has got her own story! The same goes for our new friend Molly...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She came to us dressed in her original play outfit (except for brown loafers).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She had funny looking bloomer undies on, they looked very silly!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The rest of her looked just like the kids we go to school with now. Her shirt was a red white and blue plaid with itsy bitsy red buttons with real itsy bitsy button holes. Her gray pants look like a nice corduroy with a closure on the side. The cute saddle shoes came with Molly along with her sweet locket necklace that really opens...</div>

The shirt with the detachable collar has a label that says The National Wildlife Federation. The shoes, hat, leggings, and scrunchies are all part of a Molly's red jumper outfit. All of the other dolls kind of stared at Molly while she was changing. She looked different from the rest of the dolls. Her body was white! It had no color. It wasn't skin colored, it wasn't tan, and it wasn't brown either! Just white, plain old powder white!<br />

JLY #23 is another funny story. Grandma's lucky shopping week did not end with finding Molly, nope it didn't. Grandma came home a few days ago toting her in a white plastic bag. After her hair was shampooed and her body was cleaned up Grandma redressed her in her freshly washed dress and gave her a pair of little Jo's sparkly pink shoes to wear.</div>

Tina will be getting a new hair style soon. Her haircut did not turn out to be so pretty, we will be looking for a new look for her (the real life Tina has long dark hair now) a more trendy modern look wood be good.<br />

So much family and so many places to go, so many cousins, so many aunts and uncle's to visit...... Ok thought Little Jo, How about we celebrate on the Sunday after New Years Day? Grandma thought that would be ok and started getting everything ready for the party. The Christmas tree has always kept up until after Orthodox Christmas (the Saturday After New Years day this year) perfect! There were plenty of Grandma's cookies left from the holidays, enough to share with every one attending the party and there would be plenty of sparkling grape juice to serve in the pretty red glasses that Grandma kept in the china cabinet to use for special occasions. Indeed this would be a very special occasion for Grandma because she wanted to take pictures of her lovely grandchildren all dressed up for the holidays. Everyone of the dolls would have a pretty holiday outfit too (maybe not new) but certainly a pretty outfit. She nipped and tucked every festive piece of doll clothing she could find and managed to dress every one of the doll cousins for this festive holiday party (plus almost all of the doll friends too).<br />

We had a grand tea party to announce our Mattie to the world and to celebrate her first birthday with us. This month we have two more new doll friends that will be joining us for a while. Both of our new girls are thrift store finds. Little Sophie was found in her original box in her original clothes like she just came home from the store. Alana did not look as well at first, she had a pair of jeans as her only clothing and her hair was all tangled into a rubber band. After she was bathed and dressed up in a lovely yellow Magic Attic outfit she looked beautiful! I really love the Journey Girl doll faces. <br />

Our new play doll looks like the Alana doll that we already have. Our Alana came with the Kara Rose doll that were offered as a set by The Toy's"R"Us eBay store. The dolls were offered at $29.99 (for a limited time) for the set with free pick up at the store. I bought a set for our granddaughters (Little Jo and Nora) birthdays and an extra set for later maybe for another birthday (like mine). I am not 100% sure that she is Alana. Maybe you know which doll she really is. Here are the dolls.........First is the Thrift store Alana.<br />

I find a lot of nice things there. Instead throwing out all of the little miscellaneous things that are donated they sort the items and create grab bags. I find lots of wonderful little items at affordable prices like the outfit that Leeza is wearing. Doesn't she look wonderful with her new hairstyle?</div>

See Becky in the background - gee I think she looks spiffy! For under five dollars (for all four outfits) the dolls have some rather nice duds to wear. The seams are nicely finished, there are no tags, maybe homemade?</div>

I had been looking at doll size musical instruments on eBay for a while - YIKES!!! - an arm and a leg prices! When I saw this little vintage doll size Cello (violin) music box at a garage sale I snatched it up for a couple of dollars.</div>

This cello is a bit rough, but that is ok. It will be going to Zoe our freckle faced blond doll beauty. Zoe has always reminded me of the girl that babysat my son and his cousins when they were little. Gen was very young maybe twelve or thirteen when she started to watch my first grader for an hour after school. She continued to watch him after school ( Gen would start dinner too, gosh I loved her spaghetti) until he started junior high school. We love her dearly and will always be thinking of her. Gen loved to play her cello. She had been taking lessons on that cello from the time she was in grade school, but when she left home to get married her mother would not let her take her beloved cello. She cried for a long time. In our doll family Zoe is being renamed to Gen and I promise that I will never take away her cello. Love ya Gen!<br />

This is Zoe (babysitting Sophie) - henceforth Zoe shall be know as "Gen our Cello Artist".</div>

She is a beautiful African American doll with beautiful dark skin tones, deep dark brown hair that curls into ringlets, and lovely brown eyes. I found her buried under a heap of Barbie dolls in the doll bin at the Volunteers of America a week or so ago. Her hair was snagged into a twisted elastic hair band with a puffy pink faux flower, it is the last remnant of her original pink ballet costume. She came home with us and hopped right into the sink to get wiped down with a bit of Dawn Dish Detergent, a piece of magic eraser, and light hair wash with wig shampoo. We sat down with Mattie and went through our patterns and the material we had for summer dresses and Mattie picked her favorite colors (yellow and red) and watched while her new dress was cut and sewn. Little Jo insisted on a garden party for Mattie to celebrate her new birthday with her new family.<br />

All of the girls are dressed in their Summer Tea Party dresses. Mattie, Jimmy, Maggie and Callie have new shoes too. Lady Mary refused to wear her new shoes. She said she wanted to feel the grass between her toes. Let's hope she does not step on any bees!<br />

She was lying on a shelf beneath a pile of other outcast dolls. She had no clothes or shoes on. Her hair was scrunched up by a rubber band into a tangled mess on top of her hair, but her face and body were clean and without marks of any kind. She came home with us that day. Her name is Kyla. Her tag said that she was a Journey Doll. Callie and Jimmy Joe watched patiently as our new friend's hair was washed and all of the tangles were combed out a few strands at a time. Grandma let her wear Meredith's birthday T-shirt and Megan's bright pink slacks. <br />

Jimmy Joe was immediately smitten by Kyla's lovely face and her long beautiful curling hair. He made sure that he was the first one of the dolls to welcome pretty Kyla and to introduce himself.<br />

<br />
Callie was quick to point out to Jimmy Joe that they were barely able to take care of all the dolls that are already living at Grandma's house.<br />

Callie found a USPS Priority *MAIL* box that was perfect to hold Lovely Kyla safely for a long journey to another family. Jimmy helped Kyla up to the top of the box and Callie helped Kyla to lower herself into the box.<br />

Jimmy Joe held back a tear as the box was packed and closed securely for a long journey across the country to JoAnn's home in Washington State. JoAnn has a lovely doll family that will be so happy to welcome Kyla. <br />
<br />
Jimmy Joe will always wonder about what might have been but he is so happy to know Kyla will be loved and cared for.<br />
<br />
Make sure that you stop by JoAnn's to visit at her Wednesday Wee Ones Post <a href="http://scenethroughmyeyes.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">at Scene Through My Eyes</a><br />

We celebrated Easter and Mother's Day then we traveled down to North Carolina to visit my son, DIL and Baby Eugenia on Monday after Mother's Day. Dear Hubby's oldest grandson celebrated his twentieth birthday, the youngest grandson made his First Holy Communion. John's oldest granddaughter Kate graduated from high school. So many wonderful events in a short period of time. In the mean time New dolls wondered into my cart at the thrift stores, Ebay had a tempting deal or two and several pretty new doll dresses were made. First of all I want you to meet Rose. Rose was found at the Volunteers of America Thrift Store a couple of months back It took several weeks of treatments with Benzoyl Peroxide to remove the many stains from her face, legs, and arms. She has been bathed shampooed and dressed in a nice AG outfit that also came from the VOA. She is posed here with our little Russian Heart for Heart doll Lillian. Lillian is wearing her new white nightie. <br />

I dressed the new AG Doll in a new dress that I had made for Little Jo's AG doll Grace and took her along with Nora's doll (also named Nora) in a new party outfit to play with at the celebration party after James's First Communion. The girls had fun playing with the dolls and Little Jo named our new rescue AG doll Rose. Nora got to keep her doll and Jo got to keep the new party dress for Grace.<br />
<br />
The other new faces are Magic Attic Dolls Heather in her gray and pink poodle outfit and Allison in her bridesmaid dress. Both dolls were bought at a Goodwill Store in Cleveland. Heather is pictured below.<br />

The following dresses were all made from the same Simplicity pattern # 1220 view D(with adjustments for the thinner dolls). I think it is the same pattern that dotsydoodle used for the dress Zoe is wearing. Lady Mary looks lovely in a pretty blue morning glory print on a yellow background trimmed with a yellow polka dot pattern and blue rick rack.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZAy5qeoY6mOajvJ1KyvLerN3Hv1hyphenhyphenPEdcQ9gueJuBaedBtyKdNGeTVVO3jMm79DP7TUl1hv4hOntZXDFQ74J7WDDn3hVYNrTbMriC57M47q26iLChq_CT1eiOIU9g6WLs6rtUfO7wpcn1/s1600/P6081567.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZAy5qeoY6mOajvJ1KyvLerN3Hv1hyphenhyphenPEdcQ9gueJuBaedBtyKdNGeTVVO3jMm79DP7TUl1hv4hOntZXDFQ74J7WDDn3hVYNrTbMriC57M47q26iLChq_CT1eiOIU9g6WLs6rtUfO7wpcn1/s1600/P6081567.jpeg" /></a></div>
Maggie is wearing a teal and aqua floral print trimmed in a lite aqua print and teal rick rack. (The stuffed easy chair was found at the VOA last week.)<br />

Speaking of Kate I thought you might like to see the lovely granddaughter she is named after. As I mentioned at the beginning of this post Kate graduated this past week. Her very proud grandfather made sure to be there as she left for her prom to take this picture. (I think the camera was not set for an indoor picture).<br />

<span id="goog_1802710883"></span><span id="goog_1802710884"></span>This is Jimmy Joe, you may have met him last week.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT2DD8W6rPJ1Hat6g1NGHNyPsS9NUrkpUhXKbbfJ6XQQDIsrhDEDrUE5rXMtomSxOPWEtThMZRE4_F73rKCWMN6WZkmzGsDf_xgCMSo-q9o9CDYKPMA4UMNycb6PW46fCtX87XtlwaaOwl/s1600/P3161434.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT2DD8W6rPJ1Hat6g1NGHNyPsS9NUrkpUhXKbbfJ6XQQDIsrhDEDrUE5rXMtomSxOPWEtThMZRE4_F73rKCWMN6WZkmzGsDf_xgCMSo-q9o9CDYKPMA4UMNycb6PW46fCtX87XtlwaaOwl/s640/P3161434.jpeg" title="DIY 18" boy doll, DIY Boy Doll Haircut, " width="480" /> </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When Jimmy Joe first came into our doll family he looked like a heathen (more or less like he had been raised by wolves) as you can see in the following picture.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdfoacKts4fk8NZS0TRgNg0KWFqxW5vRCE0pcSN1GzMF9-OuWhK0YG5UXhuQnFvT8GBQ0M0Vkg41z4V652cwIVk66XtZOfsp4UBhV7HoKONBFAWjepRZ4wJbIS2STAXiszlvUTHusXFb4n/s1600/P3111261.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdfoacKts4fk8NZS0TRgNg0KWFqxW5vRCE0pcSN1GzMF9-OuWhK0YG5UXhuQnFvT8GBQ0M0Vkg41z4V652cwIVk66XtZOfsp4UBhV7HoKONBFAWjepRZ4wJbIS2STAXiszlvUTHusXFb4n/s640/P3111261.jpeg" width="604" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So we sat Jimmy Joe into a hair salon chair and started to work on improving his appearance.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOB5BvRxAIK_XbuSsNbrJBP-ZVR2rz90JW9l_7-wSyyskcL3heaOB4bljnlnd9WDhZYZuJlhSl0avbkebENea9kpsMybgF2liZeuFtC2-h53BOXVIBnoBxXJUDDb1_-_VnrswI85TXa8tL/s1600/P3111276.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOB5BvRxAIK_XbuSsNbrJBP-ZVR2rz90JW9l_7-wSyyskcL3heaOB4bljnlnd9WDhZYZuJlhSl0avbkebENea9kpsMybgF2liZeuFtC2-h53BOXVIBnoBxXJUDDb1_-_VnrswI85TXa8tL/s400/P3111276.jpeg" title="DIY 18" boy doll, DIY Boy Doll Haircut, " width="272" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Soon his hair was shorn, but he still needed a bit more grooming. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had noticed his eyelashes looked a bit long....<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_x5up-2C4ixLT-MERDHidj4-tDUwAUFDoKtchklxHdc5WI5UlQlWPS52Pm_8fybOHplFLoBg65_zR_22qmWNOi0HITryv3q2MP_k8XmTiGYUYyauPc7k_vNOz-T3TH8_BKS0rinK60mNv/s1600/P3111268.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="DIY 18" boy doll, DIY Boy Doll Haircut, " border="0" height="250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_x5up-2C4ixLT-MERDHidj4-tDUwAUFDoKtchklxHdc5WI5UlQlWPS52Pm_8fybOHplFLoBg65_zR_22qmWNOi0HITryv3q2MP_k8XmTiGYUYyauPc7k_vNOz-T3TH8_BKS0rinK60mNv/s400/P3111268.jpeg" title="DIY 18" boy doll, DIY Boy Doll Haircut, " width="400" /></a></div>
So I took my scissors (that I use to cut threads when I am sewing)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and shortened his lashes just a bit.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYeqEMjBVM6jHIERVpSu6msFtCAIPreW9GaUBLwNYG2H9bh3jxRlYr46G3O-aPRU7YpdayyU73d905g0kL3YtfSVLDkmPxTbLPzMTdhqu-CWnZ2bLNQdAFqbegzcoem1rUtYvhWySZvUM7/s1600/P3111271.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYeqEMjBVM6jHIERVpSu6msFtCAIPreW9GaUBLwNYG2H9bh3jxRlYr46G3O-aPRU7YpdayyU73d905g0kL3YtfSVLDkmPxTbLPzMTdhqu-CWnZ2bLNQdAFqbegzcoem1rUtYvhWySZvUM7/s640/P3111271.jpeg" title="DIY 18" boy doll, DIY Boy Doll Haircut, " width="480" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The next step was to tone down his lip color.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEdphcc2cqEUfLPmRAcvVLZqM4_Ur80sxQ8AGIXnJQnU8LHlsANTYLCMgf1t9rUz9bbP3e-0p9Z7SpgdRN8Av-QYB0l5QQQ5741LI6mmFyRG-qJvJJryzLg7XrVO1F4HRT3v1jO1kaQ2oQ/s1600/P3121307.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEdphcc2cqEUfLPmRAcvVLZqM4_Ur80sxQ8AGIXnJQnU8LHlsANTYLCMgf1t9rUz9bbP3e-0p9Z7SpgdRN8Av-QYB0l5QQQ5741LI6mmFyRG-qJvJJryzLg7XrVO1F4HRT3v1jO1kaQ2oQ/s400/P3121307.jpeg" title="DIY 18" boy doll, DIY Boy Doll Haircut, " width="313" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A light coat of Anita's Latte acrylic craft paint toned down the lip color just enough.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now Jimmy Joe Looks like a handsome young man. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">*******</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"> We found another doll to join our doll family a couple of weeks ago.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I brought her home from The Volunteers of America and washed her hair and bathed her with a piece of a magic eraser and some Dawn dish detergent. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"></span><br />

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">She had blue stains on her legs, fingers, arms, and the side of face.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I think perhaps her clothing may have stained her legs or maybe those cute little tattoo transfers were applied to her vinyl skin. I applied a liberal coating of benzoyl peroxide to all of the affected areas. </span></div>

His new forever name is Jimmy Joe. We have created this tablescape to celebrate Saint Patrick's Day and to celebrate Jimmy Joe's new birth date of March 17, 2016. He is still a bit rough around the edges but I think overall he is quite handsome.

Lady Mary has been my favorite Grantham character (followed closely by her mother Lady Cora). The sixth season has brought so many beautiful new costumes for Lady Mary. I wanted to interpret one of her costumes for my Kelsey Doll from the Journey Girls Line. I used the Liberty Jane Aspen Party Dress Pattern that you can find <span style="background-color: yellow;"><a href="http://www.pixiefaire.com/products/aspen-party-dress-18-doll-clothes?utm_source=December+3rd%2C+2015&utm_campaign=PF+12-04-15+Aspen&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">HERE .</a></span> This Pattern was available as a free download a couple of months back on Freebie Friday at Liberty Jane. It has a nice after five look to it and it kind of fit the mood I was looking for to create this outfit with. I chose red satin for the lining with black lace over it to simulate a costume from a while back. <br />

The necklace and the beads seem to be a integral part of Lady Mary's outfits as well as her hats and hair adornments.<br />

Somewhere on the PBS site for Downton Abbey I had read the necklaces were all about the beads for the costumes. My Lady Mary's beads are tied in the back and dangling like I have seen in recent programs.<br />

I want to make another version of this dress that would come down to the middle of her ankles. But for right now I have to be content with finishing a Fairy costume for another doll that will go to granddaughter Little Joe later in the spring. Jo had asked for a pink and purple fairy costume with white and pink flowers last month when I had taken over another doll and costume for her to play with. I am not fond of how the petals look on the bodice and may just end up redoing the petals. The doll is a recent thrift store find. She was scrubbed down and her hair was washed and allowed to dry without combing out to help maintain the curls in her black hair. I think she will make a splendid fairy when the costume is finished. I tend to want to name her Glena but ultimately Little Jo will name her what she wants to.<br />

The doll below is marked 1997 Just Pretend, Inc on her neck. I thought she might be one of the Dream Designer Dolls called Kiri Tanaka. This doll has sleep eyes and the info on the Kiri Doll did not list Kiri as a sleep eye doll. If anyone can identify her for me I would Really appreciate it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She was dressed in a AG Samantha doll dress when I found her. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Her outfit today is an AG skate dress also from the VOA.</div>

And then there is Callie, another Journey doll. She is my latest Ebay purchase. It turns out that Callie comes from a home full of love and dolls. She came to me in this beautiful dress and with the bow in her hair. She was carefully wrapped to prevent any injuries. Thank you dotsydoodle for all the love you showed to Callie!<br />

All of the dolls have their own stories. As they are introduced into the family in their new homemade clothes their stories will be told (Hint Lillian is first!).</div>

Have fun and make sure to visit some thrift stores like the Volunteers of America and the Salvation Army Family Store, you never know what you will find there. Make a difference - keep your money in this country and help give jobs to those who are in need in your community. Good luck hunting for your treasures.<br />

The Thanksgiving Holiday came and went without too much commotion at our house this year. Little Jo and Cindy had watched Grandma polish the silverware and place the napkins in the napkin rings last year during the holidays. They thought that with a little help from their cousins that they could help with the little tasks needed to set the table. They wanted to help Grandma so that she could enjoy the company of her family a bit more this year and maybe even be able to sit down and read a story to the kids before bedtime.<br />

Little Jo and Nora joined Becky and Cindy to fold the napkins to fit into the terracotta turkey napkin rings. Nora was the first to get her napkin folded and into the ring properly so she helped Tina out with her napkin while Tina tried to figure out how to put the batteries into the candles.<br />

After several attempts to place the batteries into the candles Tina started to get very frustrated.<br />

Tina stared into the plastic cavity where the batteries went and began to wonder just who the heck thought of putting batteries into candles anyway? Even after you get the batteries in they still look fake and don't give off much light anyway. With a little help from Grandma the batteries finally went into the candle. After the first candle was finished the other three were much easier to fit the batteries into. Tina was finished in only a few more minutes. <br />

Cindy helped Grandma get the runners laid down straight straight over the brown tablecloth. Grandma held one end while Cindy tugged on the other end to help guide the runner along the edge of the table. Once the runners were all straight Grandma let Cindy lay the lacy placemats onto the table so that the Thanksgiving dinnerware would look real pretty on top of them. Grandma placed all of the plates and glasses onto the table herself. See how pretty Cindy's place setting looks!<br />

The reason Grandma would not let us girls put the plates and glasses onto the table is because she thinks that we are too little to handle that job, Hmmm, I wonder why she thinks we are too little?<br />

After each place setting was ready all of the cousins sat around the table. They giggled and told stories to each other just like they did when they went camping and told stories around the campfire.<br />
<br />
Becky was so excited to tell her story that she kept waving her hand in the air so that she could have a turn telling her story too. All of the other girls sat together and got very quiet as Becky told the tale of how they had gone out to the country with Grandma to Farmer Ricks Turkey Ranch to pick a turkey for Thanksgiving dinner. <br />

Maggie, Tina, and Kate listened intently as their eyes grew wider and wider as they learned about how Mr Tom Turkey had run clear across the farmers barnyard to escape his inevitable capture when suddenly in a flurry of white feathers he spread his wings and flew over Farmer Ricks fence and took off running towards the woods. <br />

Cindy and her youngest sister Summer were giggling at the thought of that big ole fat turkey flying off into the woods. How funny it must have been to see his big rump go over the fence with Farmer Rick trying to chase after him.<br />

Fall clean up in the Fairy Garden can be quite a chore so I was glad that Little Jo and Nora (Nora is Little Jo's younger sister) were here to help out. Before we had worked too long several of the others in our doll family started showing up to pitch in and get the fairies and the fairy houses spiffed up for the rest of the fall season. There were pumpkins and spiders, and even a skeleton to gather up after the Halloween festivities in the fairy garden. It is now time to just enjoy a few harvest accents until it is time to decorate the garden for Christmas. Nora was eager to wear her new Fall outfit that Grandma made this week. Grandma also made a pretty jacket just like Cindy's only it is a different color. I promised Nora we would let her model her new outfit first. Pretty Nora and Little Jo look a lot a like. It is a good thing that Nora likes to keep her hair in braids or I wouldn't hardly be able to tell them apart.<br />

Little Jo was a bit late today, she had a hard time picking something to wear. She ended up wearing a tank top and pink shirt that Grandma had bought at the Goodwill store. It was in a grab bag of shoes and outfits made by American Girl. All of the girls love the bright pink color and the sweet little pink heart buttons and trim.</div>

The dolls had a lot of fun today helping Grandma trim the plants and pick off dead blossoms from the flowers. Cindy enjoyed putting the Halloween decor away, and we all helped to weed and prune the plants.</div>

After two days of rain and a lack of light for taking pictures I have made do by posing the dolls on the buffet (again). They were supposed to have their photo op out in the fairy garden and on the front porch. Fifty mile an hour winds and downpours prevailed so indoor pictures will be fine. <br />
<br />
The girls look like they are lined up for a chorus line, in fact I have been singing Life is a Cabaret since I set them up for the pictures this afternoon. I just look at them and I start singing.<br />

All of the clothing items on the dolls are hand made by me. I use a mix and match of pattern pieces for the most part. JoAnn's dolls are in costume too, you can find them <a href="http://scenethroughmyeyes.blogspot.com/2015/10/wednesday-wee-ones-happy-halloween.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> . Diane's lovely little doll Opal is ready to celebrate Halloween <a href="http://lavenderdreamstoo.blogspot.com/2015/10/happy-halloween-from-wednesday-wee-ones.html" target="_blank">HERE.</a> <br />

Happy Halloween!!<br />

Both have been patiently waiting for clothes for school and most of all, a Halloween Costume. It seems there will be a Halloween party next week and all of the dolls want to go. Cindy is very quiet and undemanding, it would be easy to overlook her in the crowd of all of the others. We try to keep her in mind at all times because of this. Cindy had a pair of green polka dot pants and a colorful striped shirt made for her right away which we have not shared yet and she now has new shoes to wear about as we go out shopping. Cindy watched as we picked a pattern for her jacket.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
We used a Simplicity Pattern. We copied the jacket pieces and reduced them to 90% of the original pattern size. We used this pattern to make the leggings too (at regular size).</div>

Our fabric for the outer shell of the jacket was from a green cloth napkin bought at Marc's. The lining was cut from material included in a bag of fabric remnants from The Volunteers Of America.</div>

A tee, leggings and skirt were made to go with the jacket too. </div>

The skirt was made from three different remnant pieces and a piece of remnant lace. The skirt did not come out as well as we would have liked and may go through a redo in the future.</div>

Thanks to the generosity of a kind mother and her daughter for donating a bag full of doll clothes and shoes from an American Girl doll to Goodwill last week. Now all of my dolls have shoes. In addition to the seven pairs of shoes that were donated there were several AG outfits that will eventually go to one of our grand daughters. <br />
<br />

Big Doll Hugs,<br />

Little Jo is the newest member of our doll family. Little Jo was once loved and treasured by a little girl who started to grow up and no longer wanted to play with her dolls. The girls mother watched as her daughters interests changed from playing with dolls to playing soccer and going to swim meets, soon ballet lessons and horse back riding will be filling all of her time after school and no longer will her daughter want to keep her dolls. As luck would have it Little Jo was donated to the Goodwill store so that another child could have her to love. We found her there a few weeks ago and knew that she would be part of our family. She was a little dirty and her hair was a mess, her legs are loose and need repair but that does not matter, she will be loved and cared for once again.<br />

After her hair was rinsed she hung upside down while her hair dried so that no water would get into her eyes.<br />

After Jo's hair was dry her hair was set in rollers and perm rods to give her a curly look.<br />
<br />
<br />
Her arms and legs were washed with anti-bacterial soap and her body was sprayed with a little anti-bacterial spray.<br />
She smelled very fresh and pretty after her "bath".<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Jo's doll cousin had her hair washed in the sink too. Her hair was set on larger rollers for bigger curls. <br />
