Dreaming of Summer Adventures

2/21/2013

4 Comments

 
It's bright and sunny and freezing cold outside - a classic February day - and I'm dreaming of doll adventures this coming spring and summer. I was skimming through last year's big adventure, and there are still so many photos that were never processed or shown, waiting to fill in the spaces, if and when, I do a proper story - or book.  Here's one.  Sigh... Oh to be there right now, in the glorious mountains on a warm, sunny, spring day!  One can only dream....

The next four outfits are all cut out, and I've started sewing. Making four at once might seem a bit overwhelming, especially considering they are all different colours and styles, but even so it's faster than doing them one after the other. Plus there's the bonus of being done all of them at once! Right now I'm focusing on the clothes themselves, and once those are almost done, then I'll address the four sets of wings.  I figure it should take at least two weeks. Maybe longer.

Me too. Can you imagine how spectacular they would be right now? If they were still that snow-covered in mid June, they'd be absolutely stunning in February.

Found your website earlier this week or was it late last week? Now found your BLOG!!!!! OMG! I'll never get another thing done!!!
First of all Thank you, thank your for all the turtorials you'ver provided. I can't believe how generous your are with your knowledge. I am so captivated right now.
BTW, I'm hoping to create some wings (using your tutes) to create an angel costume for an AG girl for a silent auction at my church (to benefit the preschool) Keeping my fingers crossed all will go well.
Again, thank you for all your kind help.
