As a gift for March 8th, my husband gave me my long-held dream – the Tonner Fleurs de Lys Emilie Sydney Paris Doll Convention 2006 LE200. Exclusively made for The Paris Fashion Doll Festival. The doll came to me nude, but she is beautiful! This is the most beautiful Emilia, in my opinion. The BW sample body has large, curled hair that is heavily lacquered, green eyes, and a gaze directed to the side.
Today at the second-hand shop, I bought these dolls for only 1.5 euros each: the dancing princess Isla, the plump fashionista #22 Chambray Chic Curvy, and the brand new fashionista #18 Violet with lilac hair. They aren’t in their original outfits, but they are in good condition.
As part of the preparations for the school’s anniversary, I was tasked with preparing sketches for large postcard drawings that the children will draw in groups to decorate the school. Here’s what came of it. But the idea and preparation for the large “35 years” puzzle belong to another teacher from our school. I was just helping to hang these 24 pictures.
I decided to dress up the new doll a bit, and in a burst of inspiration, I ended up creating three outfits—a crocheted dress with a pleated skirt, a one-sleeve tunic, and a set consisting of a skirt, bolero, and top. The doll is happy and enjoys posing in her new outfits.
I bought a Snapstar doll today—a curly mulatto named Izzi. The doll is short, articulated, and has a wig with insertable eyes. The outfit was well-made and came with a stand, a bag, and a phone, as well as a green backdrop for shooting.
Here’s my wonderful Valentine’s Day gift from my beloved husband—it’s little Sylvie Tuesday’s child. I found her at the same doll and miniature exhibition. This is my first vinyl doll by Diana Effner in collaboration with Boneka Tradition. This doll was released in only two copies. Her height is 26 cm, her skin is slightly grayish, her eyes are gray-blue, and her arms and legs spread out to the sides. It’s a wig, the hair is soft blonde, the hairstyle is a bob with bangs. Dressed in a white calico romper with buttons on the back and lace at the hem, white socks, and beige shoes with a strap closure. The little one is simply wonderful! I’ll call her Mariya, because she looks very much like my Masha.
Today we went to the largest dollhouse miniature exhibition in the Netherlands. I’m thrilled! So much beauty, inspiration, and new ideas that you don’t even know where to start! But first, I’ll write down what I bought—some sewing and knitting supplies for miniatures, four sharpening statues for my collection, three baby dolls, two toy teddy bears, and a stroller for two babies.
Finished embroidering a picture of a “Butterfly with a Rose” with ribbons and beads from a Danko Toys embroidery kit today. Managed to finish by Valentine’s Day.
She started finalizing the gift for the newborn. To pack the family of giraffes, they needed something to sit them on. And here I made my first cake out of a pack of diapers as a base for the composition. And Anya and Rostik also helped me come up with a logo for my crafts.
Today I picked up my beautiful 16” Tonner Gone with the Wind Scarlett O’Hara Vivien Leigh “My Tara” doll from 2012, limited to 350 pieces, at the post office. She has a 16-inch body with articulated wrists, Tyler’s skin tone, dark chestnut hair, and large curls firmly set with hairspray. The dolls from this mold have beautifully drawn green eyes, a direct gaze, and the famous raised right eyebrow.
Scarlett came to me nude, but with a stand. Her original outfit was an olive-green dress and a straw hat. But I dressed her in a “Barbecue at 12 Oaks” dress, which looked wonderful on her. I’m so happy that another long-standing wish of mine has come true, although the shipping from the States and the tax cost almost as much as the doll itself. Now I will try to choose dolls from Europe.
