I made a new hat to go with Lonnie's Victorian girl outfit today. As much as I like the original that I made for the porcelain doll many years ago, it's a bit small and sits high on Lonnie's hair - which in itself isn't bad, as it looks very "Victorian. But I wanted more of a "little girl" look with a hat that actually comes down over her head as opposed to just perching on top. Now I think I should make another dress in the same style, so Peach can have one too when she comes, and they can be little Victorian girls together. I still have one straw hat the right size left over.
A package of pretty pastel frog shoes (crocs) arrived today, and Erzulie had trouble deciding which ones she wanted for herself. I got them from Denis Bastien's Leeann Website. They are intended for Leeann dolls, but fit Iplehouse BIDs and KIDs perfectly too. In the past he only had dark "boyish" colours, but this year he had six brand new pretty pastel colours, and since I have six little girls who could use them this summer, I got the six-pair package deal.
Of course, now that the little girls can go barefoot in the crocs this summer, they are all going to need little undies. Up until now they've always been wearing tights to protect their modesty. Just what I always wanted to make - teenie tiny panties out of stretchy fabric! Sigh! My machine will probably just "eat" them - maybe it would work best if I just hand-sewed them.
