Oops, nearly forgot! I promised to post  a better photo of Ariel and I hope this qualifies :)

Belle in her box. As you can see, she is displayed in her beautiful yellow dress. It is covered in glitter, so be warned. 

With a twist and some minor adjustments, she transforms into her pink gown. 

Neither of the dresses can be removed.

Both dresses are beautiful, but even though the bodice of the yellow dress is permanent, I just love this one. The roses on the outer skirt and the design on the inner skirt is really lovely. I forgot to take a photo of her shoes, which are gold. 

Whether in yellow or in pink, she is gorgeous. I really like her sweet little face and the hairline matches the movie character. Her crown is much nicer than many of the other princesses crowns. 

Her face is less animated, but somehow she still has the essence of Belle - one of my favourite characters.

Disney Princess 2-In-1 Ballgown Surprise Belle Doll - I know she doesn't have jointed arms and legs, but I just loved her little face. Her crown is prettier than most I've seen. Currently she is with the couriers on her way to me. Yay!! Can't wait to get her!

Princess Ariel. She has lovely sparkly purple shoes on and a beautiful bush of red curls.  Her crown isn't too bad either. Not the greatest pics, but this was taken at my friends place and she had craft stuff everywhere, so her background is a bit cluttered. Will take a full length photo of her at some stage and post it. Doesn't she just have the cutest face? 

Well, they did it! They finally tied the knot! Yes, I'm referring to Briehannah and Trent :) She is, at last, Mrs. Cavendish. Here are some pics of the wedding.

 

This is Savannah. She is a Teresa Fashionist Barbie,

Clutch Wave 2 (X2274)

She is fun-loving and outgoing. A loyal friend. Her best friend is Raquelle.

 

This is Raquelle. She is also a Fashionista Barbie,

Clutch Wave 2 (X2277)

I kept her original name because it really suits her. She is very photogenic

and somewhat more serious than Savannah, yet they get on very well.

They love chatting and it's not uncommon for them to sit up till the wee hours

of the morning yapping!

 

 

 

What a fun hobby this is! And you are never too old to start!!

Till next time...



 

 

 

This is Briehannah. She is from Ireland ... literally. Her parents are Swiss, but she was born in Ireland. When her parents passed away, she was sent to live with me. Coming to South Africa was quite a change for her and suddenly being part of a rather large family, didn't help.Finding herself having feelings for her 'brother in-law', did not make her popular with her adopted sisters. However, they stood by her and helped her work through her feelings without anything happening. She is fine now. In fact, she is about to get married herself and I dare say she will be a lovely bride! Her fiance is Trent Cavendish (and a 'dish' he certainly is!).

She is a pink label playline 2012 Barbie (W3940)

This is Caycee. 

She is a beautiful young lady who happens to love purple. Caycee also likes the outdoors, especially the beach and she is very photogenic. She is a fun-loving person who laughs easily, yet she is also a sensitive, caring soul. Being part of a large family, she values her 'alone' time.

 She is a 2013 Theresa Beach Barbie.

This is my eldest daughter, Elizabeth, with her daughter, Echo. Elizabeth is a widow. Thankfully, being part of a large family, she has had lots of help with Echo, who can be quite a handful. This photo was taken the evening of Echo's prom. She looks so much like her dad when she looks sideways like that! Elizabeth is very proud of her daughter and they are quite close. 

 She is a 2004 Cali Girl So Excellent Earings Barbie

And she is a 2008 Disney High School Musical 3 Sharpay.

Well that's it for now. Happy viewing!

Here is one of my group photo's.. It comes with some of the history, which I hope you will enjoy! Happy viewing!

Hmm, not sure you going to be able to read that. But I will be sharing individual photo's and stories.

Well it's been a while (to put it mildly) since I've done any blogging, but now I hope to rectify that. What I also plan to do is introduce my dolls to all of you. Yes I know, I still play with dolls. Shocking! lol.
I started by designing and knitting clothes, working out the pattern as I went along. Two dolls were bought (cheapies) to try on the clothes. When, exactly, it became about the dolls and not the clothes, I do not know. These days I find it difficult to resist a pretty new face (blush, blush).
My 'collection' started with Barbies and progressed to include other dolls like Steffi, Glamour girls, Susy, BJD, Heart 4 heart girls, etc.
Oh yes, I do still knit and sew for them ... occasionally ;)
