Dolls, Photos and Police Oh My!!!

I went out to the park today to take some outdore pictures of my new outfit "Dress Me Up." I was bending down in various positions in order to get the perfect shot, which must have looked quite odd, for at the end of the photo shoot, I was greeted by a policeman. The officer was called to check on some "suspicious" activity going on in the park. I can only guess this call was made from the little old lady who was peering at me from her upstairs window.
The officer was very nice and let out a loud laugh after I explained why a grown woman was playing in the park with a doll. Then he told me that it is a public park and I can do as I please as long as nothing is harmed.

My doll Jazzy and I had quite the adventure for sure! We would like to share the pictures that were taken. The wind was trying to work against me, and blew Jazzy over a few times, but we still got some pretty good shots.

Historical Outfits as promised

Two historical outfits are added to my Ebay page. The two time periods represented are Colonial and Prairie. They are both Four piece sets.

Steampunk Addie

My latest commission was a corset,shirt,leggings, ruffle skirt and arm warmers in the colors of Red, Black and Green. It was custom made for Steampunk Addie. Read her blog to find out her story and to take a peek at how marvelous she looks in her new duds.http://steampunkaddie.blogspot.com/2011/05/time-machine.html

Dream in technicolor!

This summer, I will be playing Flute in a musical production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat. The title of the production was my inspiration for this colorful creation titled "Just Groovin."
I had trouble deciding what pair of shoes to photograph with the outfit. No matter which pair i made poor Julie try on, they did not look right. The Red pair added too much Red and the Blue pair didn't cut it either.
Then it hit me. Why not one of each? How did i do?

The skirt is a brand new pattern that I drew up myself. I am quite proud of it and am thinking of selling it. the arm warmers have become a signature Item in my Etsy listings. I plan to make more of them in the future as well.

 Right now, i have more modern outfits as well as a couple historical ensembles in the making. Stay tuned to see what hits etsy next! Thank You and Happy Mother's day!

Spring must be bright!

Here in southern MN, the weather has been quite icky this week. What's with that????? It is spring is it not?
Watching sleet and being blown away in the wind has made me force some Spring into my life. I found some very bright Lime and turquoise fabrics and created "Spring Breeze" for our 18 inch dolls.

Experience some Spring for yourself by watching this video and please let me know if this cheers you up as it did me. -Jessica
