Cititoy Doll

     Today was one of those sit and stew days. I have been sick since Saturday and just didn't feel like doing anything. So I got out one of the thrift store finds my daughter brought me. I think she only paid like $1.25 for the doll total.
     First off she is dirty. I always use rubbing alcohol first and if that doesn't get it off then pull out the big guns.

she has ink on her back and on one hand and spot on each knee. I got out the steel wool soap pads and srubbed her good.First I took her apart so that I could handle her easier.

After the scrubbing her "skin" felt like the brand new high quality vinyl you find in the higher end dolls. This same face can be found on Dollywood dolls.

 

 Really pretty now.

Then I start the body blush. 

 

this doll has some fine molding on the body so I just took advantage of that to make it realistic.

 

 

I thought she would look cute with hair... so I went into my dolly stash and found one.

 

When I get back to sewing, she will need new clothes
