Linda’s Meet Outfit

My doll Linda is a self-created friend doll to Molly McIntire, based on the character Linda Rinaldi from the Molly books. She is #49 and I chose her to be Linda because she resembles the illustrations in the books and because she is such a unique and striking doll. I also have a designated Susan…

Wintry Rebecca

The snow is falling, and Rebecca is a vision of wintry beauty. She is wearing her coat, which I got during the Cyber Monday sale in November. It is on sale again for $10 this time, and I definitely recommend getting it now if you don’t have it. I like it a lot, but I…

Julie’s Weekend Relax Outfit

Happy Friday! I hope everyone had a great week! I made this outfit for Julie earlier this week and I decided it seemed like just the right kind of comfy, casual, 70s outfit for her to wear while relaxing. When Julie came home from school, she looked outside and saw snow flurries…definitely a good evening…

No Ordinary Sound: A Classic Featuring Melody

Caroline’s New Nightgown and Cap

Brrr! It’s cold outside! I love Caroline’s pretty nightgown, but I feel pretty sure that bedtime in the winter would have been a bit uncomfortable for her in this summery gown. I decided to make her something that was a bit warmer but still right for Caroline’s time period and personal style. In Caroline’s Journey…

Book Review: Maryellen Larkin’s Series

  I love the doll Maryellen and am fond of her books, too.  As I’ve mentioned before, a good portion of the appeal of a certain doll to me is her character and personality as portrayed by her books. Maryellen really made it great, because both the doll and her personality are sparkling. Maryellen is my…

My New Year’s Resolution

Happy New Year! One of my resolutions for 2016  is to be more organized, particularly in my doll/sewing room. I’ve been working for the past few days to make this happen and I think I’m off to a good start! I don’t like to spend a bunch of money on organizational tools. That’s just money…
