This year I thought it would be nice to get each granddaughter an 18" doll. I would make an heirloom nightgown with a nightgown to match for their doll. I am having a ball. I ordered 5 Madame Alexander dolls. One for each girl and one for me. That way I could keep making outfits for the dolls in the coming months. I tried to match the girl's hair color to their doll. I started with Sammy Jo's. One thing leads to another. I thought ballet slippers would be nice for house shoes for the girls. So, I ordered them. Then I needed to order ballet slippers for the dolls. I chose a doll for Sammy Jo that has long, dark hair with bangs. When the dolls came I did not like the looks of the hair. I had to learn how to style the hair and set it with 165* water. I love the hair now. The nightgowns were fun to make.
The next birthday was for Rachel. She has dark curly hair and wears glasses. So I ordered glasses for her doll and curled the doll's hair. Rachel loves dark purple. That was easy to do because I love purple. Rachel's gift is in the mail. We will get pictures of her in her nightgown after she opens her present. Did I say that I was having a ball?
Lori, our daughter, just went to work for JoAnn's. Now I can call her and ask for more "posh" materical for the next 2 girls. Their birthdays are also very close to each other. I will be busy making those outfits soon.
Those are very cute! :)
