Doll Therapy

I recovered a 16 in singing Cinderella this weekend..We chopped off her 12 in mane and gave her big soft hair...Shes now a fashionista and ready to rock some exclusive fashions. We created a no sew maxi dress from the sleeve of a brightly patterned blouse..the bistro table was made from a mini hat box....I 'll post the info on the dress a bistro table soon!

I'm sure there have been times where you run into people who think its very weird to collect dolls and even more strange if you admit to playing with them.When I tell people about my collection and show them pictures, most seem to be very intrigued. I recently submitted an idea for a continuing education class at a local university, much to my surprise the class has been picked up and will be offered in the Spring.. Its called Modern Doll Collecting I am the brainchild behind this idea to spread the love for collecting to a new generation of people and to continue connecting with those who have enjoyed this hobby. I plan to create an intermediate course and advance course in the near future... wish me luck!

Addy in front of the American Flag                                       I used an epoxy to adhere the tin and wood                           A cut out of a window with real dried flowers hanging A pie cabinet with a sweet potato pie     I want to welcome everyone to my Doll Party.  This is the place were we hang out and I get to share my doll collection and projects.  Today, I'm posting pics of an American Girl Cabin for Addy, I made a few weeks ago. I used an old dresser, wallpaper that looked like aged wood,galvanized tin and furniture purchased from Hobby Lobby. I made the sweet potato pie, farm eggs and watermelon all by myself
