My Trip Family

9/16/2014

I've decided that on our upcoming road trip, I'm going to take dolls which I've not taken before. It's time to leave my favourites home, and give the others a chance. Plus, I want to move away from just bringing little kids. So I've chosen Bonnie, Owen, Peach, Leona, and Efreet.

This is how they all look right now, and it's just a coincidence that Bonnie and Peach are wearing similar outfits. I have just 10 days to turn them into a cohesive, contemporary, family group, who enjoy hiking in the wilderness, and exploring new places. I know what I'm doing for Efreet, Bonnie and Leona - I've already cut her wig down from a long wavy fantasy hip-length to something much more contemporary just past her shoulders. The biggest challenge will be Owen and Peach - deciding on the best wigs, and finding or making suitable clothes. Owen will be especially challenging, as he was never intended to be a contemporary character.

But first the easy ones. Today I have to design a long pants pattern for Efreet and Bonnie, and continue knitting the sweater I started for Leona.

They'll make a handsome family and it will be interesting to see them all in their "new identities"! I'll be looking forward to their vacation adventures!

Oh well done on making the choice with so much time still to go.....I go away on Thursday for a short trip and I still haven't decided who is coming with me!

Good luck with the contemporary outfit sewing now....have fun!

I'm already starting to second guess myself. If I continue to be this tired and unmotivated, it might not be such a good idea to bring new dolls on a trip. They might not make it out of their boxes. I'll see.

doesn't Lonnie have a brown wig with bangs? That's modern. Just an idea, although Peach's hair is lovely and could be modern as well, if she was wearing contemporary clothes.

I need to try all my wigs on Peach to see what I like best. I still haven't decided what works best on her - probably because I've never bonded with her yet. I doubt she'll end up with that blonde mohair one.

Same here! I wish they were done. But several of them can borrow things, so not everything has to be made from scratch.

Good luck. I think the wig peach has on would work well it almost timeless they looks so cute as a family.
