Hi All, Hope you all enjoyed the pics. To answer some questions from Robin and Pat.
First off, of course that Fashion is out of the box. I looked at the box just long enough to notice how pretty it is, and then out it came. LOL I am a true deboxer. I did keep the box, as it is so nice. Pat, the Candi Basics were the last bunch of Candis Jason did. They came and went very quickly as they were very small runs. They all had wild hair colors. The red on this one is a true red. I also got the one with the purple hair, and she is a lot of fun too.
Robin, I can probably make the sheath for the articulated body as long as the bust is still about the regular size. I think it would be terribly difficult to make the bust smaller and have the dress come out looking right. I would need a good idea of measurements, and what sort of fabric you would like. I am out of that particular one, but I literally have BOXES of wonderful vintage fabrics.
Pat, the mermaid started out as a playline mermaid Kayla ( they are still out in the store right now) She is the one with the orange hair. I bought her to steal the head with the wonderful orange hair to do a different doll, and that silly body was sitting around. It has a joint inside covered with a vinyl molded "skin" I was trying to figure out a way to do something exciting for it, and I came up with removing the "skin" part, and sewing a zillion sequins on the vinyl. It actually was not as hard as it sounds. Just tedious. The head is a Western Stamping Tara Lynn ( Steffie Faced) just to do something different. How many black haired mermaids do you see? Just a weird sort of whim. And yes, she is probably the only one. I am not really into mermaids or fairys, and have only done 1 of each. I like fantasy, but am not into doing what everyone else does. It was a nice change for me though, as I have been doing a lot of meticulous real looking fashions, and sheer fantasy is a break. I never take pics as I go, as I am barely able to get pics done when I am finished. LOL Probably should have on this one, as it was a sort of cool process.
I believe in kids shoveling show and raking leaves too. I usually go out with Grayson to shovel, but it was still snowing gang busters, and I am too lazy to shovel more than once. I did notice a lot of people giving the house dirty looks as he was out there by himself, but I was sitting right by the window and watching his every move. I am not that bad a parent. LOL I am thinking of getting him a mop and vacume too. LOL He already dusts ( not very well, but we try) I have a hard time believing he is four too. My how time flies.
Ok, I will shut up again. I do run on, don't I?

Hi there, I really enjoyed the pictures. Dolls were great and the son is too. I just love looking at little ones being happy. The fahsion looks really great on the Basic Candi. That red hair really does it good! Thank you for sharing your pictures with us. Best wishes, Sherrie:)
