Erin's Day Out

 Here are some Erin appreciation pictures!






Her hair looks more brown than red here, but it's still Erin! No doll swapsies involved.

Blonde Little Bitty Baby

 I got the blonde Little Bitty Baby.

I feel that her head is a slightly different shape from the others that I have. It is rounder. And her eye placement feels different to me.

I kinda like the face of the brown eyed baby better, but they are SO SIMILAR, this makes me feel crazy.

Here's a picture with Erin in the garden as well.

Maya in the Garden

 Maya's getting more pictures! Luckily, it was a cloudy day, so it was perfect for doll pictures.

She had to take her coat off as it was too hot outside. I did not realize that she has long sleeves on under her coat.

As I keep saying, I love long sleeves on doll clothes.

Maya Goes to the Library!

 Ruby Red Fashion Friends is doing a spotlight on Maya this month, so I took her to the library for some fun pictures! 

I think she really enjoyed it!

Secret fact: I left her hair net on so her hair wouldn't get mussed while she was carried in a bag.

New Wig For Camellia

 I got Camellia a new wig from Zazou Custom Dolls.

Well, originally I meant it for a different doll, but I think it's hers now.

The wig is a blonde French braid with loose wisps of hair, and it just makes her look younger and sweeter.

Here is her original wig.

And here is the new wig.

I am just seriously in love.

Apparently the Diana mold has a larger head than some Ruby Red dolls, and this wig came with a warning that it was slightly larger and needed a wig cap, so it's perfect!

Sundress for Fern

 Fern was one of the dolls I bought at the 2021 MCM sale.

She is a stunning Jess mold with freckles and grey eyes. I love her.

She came in a hot pink princess dress. I cannot state enough how much that dress did not suit her and how much she hated it, and how much I hated it on her.

She hasn't worn a dress since she came to my house, until now.

I finally made a dress that suited Fern.

I made the Bunny Bear Endless Summer pattern in yellow gingham.

It's so cute on Fern!


My friend said that she looks like a yellow daffodil, and I love that comparison.

I guess Fern likes gingham and plaid. I will have to keep that in mind.

She might need a slip with this dress, as you can see her undies if you look closely.

Meanwhile, I am enjoying this summer look on her.

Sundress for Kavi

 I found a remnant at the thrift store, about 24 inches wide, of this beautiful eyelet fabric.

I immediately knew that I could make a stunning doll dress out of it.

It was so hard to choose, but I decided I wanted to make a sundress out of it that would be classic and rather bohemian.

I knew the skirt would be longer to show off all of the beautiful white-on-white embroidery.

I really debated what pattern to use, but used Liberty Jane Peplum Top.

I added a bit of a sewn-in slip, so that her undies wouldn't show.

And here it is.



I love it on Kavi, it is perfect with her dark hair and eyes!

I wish I had this dress in my size!

I also wish I had more of this fabric. I can think of at least two more projects I could make with it.

Kavi is actually reminding me a bit of Emmy Rossum in Phantom of the Opera, so maybe she needs a Phantom dress. She loves musicals, after all!
