this is a Walker Doll that we got for my youngest daughter. The Doll is probably about 19 years old. You can tell it went through a lot of "love". When my daughter outgrew her play time with this one I put it in my sewing room. One day I got her out and decided she needed some "modernization". LOL
She wears my daughter's shoes and socks, a wig that I once wore and a brand new dress complete with slip and bloomers.
This a Baby Face Doll named Natalie, She was in pretty good condition only needing cleaning and her hair combed... so
I gave her a bath, shampoo, new dress with one of my embroidery designs on the border and even made her shoes.
Another Baby Face (I think I have 21 of them now) named Sandie. How you see her is how she arrived. I have probably 3 more just like her so I decided she needed a new look. So a wig and a new dress (machine smocked with a pattern I created) and you see the new girl here.
I think Sandie looks just beautiful now!
From time to time I go to the local second hand shops and look for dolls. I found this one for only $1.25. The dress on her is very old and all handmade but obviously not hers.
A good bath and all brand new clothes. Just have to get some shoes made for her and she will be complete.
I couldn't leave well enough alone...lol. Decided she needed more then shoes. Gave her a wig, and eyelashes and brows...then put her on eBay and she sold...Hmmm gives me all kinds of ideas.
This so Sad Brooke. She does look unhappy. Another Baby Face but of the bathtub group.
Well after all I did for her you would think she would be grateful. She is still pouting!
they gather together sometimes to plot things and decide WHAT they will trick me into next.
I don't have any before pictures of this little baby. She is a Cabbage Patch Preemie. She was found in a trash pile outside a house that had been abandoned. Poor thing was covered with mildew, red magic marker and ink. She got the Oxy treatment...body and cloth slathered in Oxy 10 then left on my deck through months of sunshine, rain and snow... She was then washed in the washing machine and dressed...she has only a few places I could not get off but they are barely noticeable. She goes to a new home soon...
