Sometimes life imitates - the dolls

The doll - or should I say critter. (From Jenny on American BJD - her Goodreau Twinkle as a super hero fairy)

And real life trick or treaters at my house on Halloween 2010.

Critter waiting

Plan to do a house for the critters along with finding matching school outfits. My critters et al includes B Fly and Bee from Creedy, Hujoo, along with Goodreau's Cupcake, Twinkle, Merlin. One little fiver girl from Goodreau (no clue who she is) also resides with the group. We are waiting for Socks and Bella to arrive.

Steampunk Red Doll in felt

Patti Medaris Culea's book, Creative Cloth Doll Collection was the inspiration for this steampunk felt doll designed and crafted by doll artist Nikki Evans in the UK.

Each time I hold the doll I discover another exceptional and unique detail about her. I LOVE this doll.

Her name is Kate

...and she is bold, a bit of a shrew and comes hence to Drearydom from the doll artist Michele Hardy.

Hey Isabella!

The latest addition to my wall of Hardy girls is Isabella. A white ABC from Goodreau, her white skin and hair present the ghost-like girl I was hoping for, a blithe spirit with whimsy and wanderlust. The pink eyes tell it all.

Isabella is greeted by my two other OOAK ABCs from Michele Hardy.

Tuff Tulah Time and the yellow petals 6/14

She calls it her froggie uniform (bc postal workers, UPS workers have their required attire) - hmmm - thinking this means Tulah will be wearing her floppy beige socks, flowered shoes, and froggie uniform for the entire summer of 2011. The washing machine will be humming every evening.

When asked just what her occupation was that a uniform was required, she did her eye thing with her flame hair standing even more on end, glanced upward and mumbled that she wanders around the house and sees things. Things that need to be fixed or corrected or cleaned. Great - next she'll need white gloves.

Yesterday the observation was the pitcher with fresh cut flowers that needed clean water and yellow petal pick-up surrounding it. Couldn't have been too severe bc her pointing arm wasn't as direct and manic as usual. : )

This wonderful froggie fashion is from mrsbobbinsews on Ebay  (great quality, style, and attention to detail!)
