Ready for my excuse? It’s a good one. I didn’t post this yesterday like I said I would because I was sick, again. Something is going around over here and it finally came around to whack me in the face. Moving on.
I think a few of you should recognize this doll that I bought at Goodwill (see Finally Remembered). Only a buck but she needed a bit of work. Her hair was almost hopelessly tangled and frazzled, someone must have really “loved” doing hair. She was also dirty and still wearing her originallame horrible plain dress. I couldn’t let her stay like that.
I gave her a good scrubbing and wash and conditioned her hair which made it so much easier to tackle her rat’s nest of hair. Of course I gave her a hair cut, I do enjoy cutting doll hair and there’s nothing else that can be done for damaged hair.
The dress I made for her is a simple pillow-case dress style, if you look you can find tutorials everywhere online. I added some elastic to the waist because I thought it looked better that way. With some matching ribbon tied in her hair, the look is complete.
She’s a much cuter doll now. The only thing is that I have no clue what to do with her now. Do I keep her or give her away, and away to whom? I have too many nieces and a nephew who would all love her.
Here’s the updated list:
