On The Craft Table!

 Hey Gang!

On the craft table right now is:

Sofas

 The sofas I got from the Dollar Tree.  

I painted them brown. It is a bit shiny I might need a matte sealer.

I had more but not a lot of brown spray paint than any other color. I don't think I will 

use it on the underside. I am thinking about gluing cardboard to the back and 

painting that will acrylic paint.  

The before!

I have see people cover them with fabric too! Maybe next time.

Next is bread!

I have a bakery and market diorama planned so I made some break for it.

Three styles of loaves of bread and bagels. Two lost the inter circle so they look more like rolls

I might need to make a few more. 

It was kinda easy to make. I used My Froggy Stuff video recipes for both.

The two loaves on the right are salt dough and the other is cornstarch dough. 

I colored the with makeup like in the videos.

Next up is Gift cards and rack

I made a rack for gift cards.  I am not sure where I will use it for but I know I wanted

to make it.

There are little shelves to hold the cards.

I made the cards for newspaper circulars.

I cut them out and glued them to cardboard.

All of these crafts take a good amount of time.  I would imagine My Froggy Stuff

must spend a lot of time on all her crafts.  She is probably faster than me at it.

The time issue was a reason I haven't done more in the past. Like many of you,

I have more time now.

OK,Thanks For Looking!

Doll For My Wish List For 2021!

 Hey Gang!

After years of searching and complaining! Mattel has finally come out with a AA/Hispanic

teen boy doll!  

Mattel Promo Photos

I saw an old photo of a prototype of an AA boy standing by a school locker in 

an old issue of Barbie Bazaar. He had a 1987 Skipper face done up like a boy. I 

couldn't see the body, so I don't know what kind of body they used for him.  I 

wondered if  they made him for an oversea market and had been searching.

I haven't been able to locate the doll or a copy of that picture since. So if you 

have the photo or a link to it, please send it to me!

Now, there was a Kevin and a Scott but not AA Skipper size male in the Barbie line. 

Poor AA Skipper never had an AA boyfriend.  

The closest Mattel came to an AA doll in that size came was High School Musical

Chad and Zeke!

Chad #2 headsculpt

Zeke!

So even with a bent arm, it will be nice to have this new headsculpt to my collection!

OK, Thanks For Looking!

Blog Poll on Articulated Body Sharing of Dolls

Hey Gang!

A few of my dolls are sharing articulated bodies either because the type
body is limited in production or I have not been able to afford additional
bodies. I wondered how many of you are doing the same! I have created
a poll to find out how many of you are doing it too!

Blogger no longer has a poll widget so I had to go to a site that provide
polls for Blogger! This is my first time trying it and it won't show the
results on the page but I will receive emails of results. I will share the
results later on.

So Please Take The Poll!

OK, Thanks For Looking And Taking The Poll!

Quick Post-I Just Love a good Head Swap!

Hey Gang!

Popping in to show you my latest head swap!  I think I mention that
I purchased a second Ron Weasley doll when it was on sale for $2.00!
You gotta that all the Harry Potter dolls have good articulation! I was
only hoping that their complexion would have match other dolls of
similar size!

I recently found a Disney Store High School musical #3 Troy doll!

He doesn't have the articulation of Ron and the head (you can't tell it from

this photo) sits on the body in such a way that he appears to always be 

looking down like he is shy! 

I was able to swap Troys head onto Ron Weasley's body!  This made it so 

that he is no longer looking down and has articulation. Yeah!

Jimmy: Hey Gang! I can wave!

I can now interact with way more people!

OK, Thanks For Looking!

Barbie Careers Pop Star Doll

Hey Gang!

One of my latest purchases is Pop Star Doll  Barbie!

Promo Photos

I had to have her! I kinda think I am in love with this headsculpt even though she 

glances to the side and has a bent arm.  I think this one is called Neysa. I think I 

have three dolls thus far with this headsculpt.

The glitzy outfit doesn't hurt either!

She comes with a microphone and stand.

So My Photos!

Now as for a microphone and stand, I don't think the stand is well done.

They should have just made it silver to silver to match the microphone.

 The stand being sparkle purple with a clear base doesn't really work.

I just love her face and her eyes are brown.

 The purple shoes are cute too!

 Note: with minium play, the skirt will creases.

Warning Nude doll below!

The skirt does have what I guess is fake panties under it.

 The dolls bodies!

So the first thing I had to do was rebody her! I went to my body box and
found this one!

 And the body works!

 Although the bodies are different the clothes still fit.

Her hair is a purple pink!  Not as pink and Emily-Ann and not as purple as
Stella!

 View from the top!

 Dressed for her interview on the Today Show Esa heads for the WJBS TV station!

OK, Thanks For Looking!

Midge Life in the Dreamhouse!

Hey Gang!

Back several years ago, I purchased Barbie and Midge Dreamhouse set at T.J. Maxx.
The box was horrible! but the dolls were in good shape!

I got them for the bodies but when got them home, the Midge doll caught my eye

I love her red hair! I must admit to being a sucker for red hair and the Midge/ Steffie 

head sculpts! So while the blonde head is up for sale with a few other life in the 

dreamhouse Barbies heads, I had to keep the Midge!

It was confusing for me around this time. I kept see different styles of Midge, 

Life in the Dreamhouse the set like what I purchased and the single!

Life in the Dreamhouse two dress set!

There was also a Glam Style Midge out too.  All of this doll had the larger head.

The hair eyes and lip color was a little different. They all looked similar to me at first but some 

time online showed me the difference!

Dreamhouse-a really red redhead

Glam Style- a strawberry blonde

From looking online, I knew that I wanted the Dreamhouse Midge but I wanted the 

Glam Style outfit! So I had the doll and was able to find parts outfit on Facebook!

She is now happy living in Johnston with her family! Say Hello Charlotte!
Charlotte: Hello! Nice to meet you all!

She needed a husband! So who should be the husband of Dreamhouse Midge?

Why McDreamy of course!

or Robert Phillips doll from Enchanted

I will be featuring him again in May!

So here is Charlotte with her husband Dr. Patrick McDreamy!

The McDreamy's

Charlotte: Say hello to the nice folks honey!

Patrick: Hello! 

Honey I have to head out the the hospital! I have a early morning staff
meeting. Charlotte: OK, see you at home.

If you are follower of my blog, you will know that I made them a couple
back in April of 2014 when I found Patrick again in a thrift store.

OK, Thanks for looking!
