Some more clothes!

A little top to go with the pleated skirt

Pink for Valentines Day!  A new pair of trousers and a little knitted top.

Her Mix n Match Capsule Wardrobe is growing.

 

Mix n Match Capsule Wardrobe for Oona Faith - Some more items.

 

The last couple of days I have added some more clothing to Oona Faith's Mix n Match Capsule Wardrobe.

Another little dress 

A cotton skirt

A little knitted rib top

and a pleated skirt.

Knitting for Oona Faith

What better to do on cold evenings and days but to sit in front of the fire and knit.

I made this fun little dress for Oona Faith with some left over sock yarn I had.

I think she looks really cute in it.

I also knitted her a little cardigan, as it is of course cold here at the moment.

I have another dress almost finished.

I hope to do a post in the next couple of days showing various clothes that fit from other types of dolls.  

 

New Dresses and Comparisons.

It is easy to see which colours are going to suit Oona Faith well.

She likes her new unicorn dress, just like many little girls probably would.

As promised, now for some comparison photos.

My Les Cheries Corolle Doll Clara,  with Paola Reina Doll, Oona Faith.

Clara's feet are slight longer than Oona Faith's feet.

Behind photo, which shows the difference in colour of their 'skin'.

Front photo, I think the Paola Reina doll has more pronounced 'features' such as her knees and little toe nails.  Interestingly the Paola Reina dolls have changed a bit since my original one that I bought in 2013 - picture shown below of a comparison photo I took then.

You can see the Paola Reina doll then was quite a bit shorter than the Les Cheries Corolle doll, plus she used to have a much more pronounced belly button.

I put a dress on Oona Faith, that I made back in 2013, it suits her really well.

This photo I took in 2013 when Clara was wearing it, and for some more comparisons I have posted another couple of photos of the dress being worn in 2013 by:

Cristi as she was called.

and my Sasha toddler.

I love it when you can make an outfit that fits more than one doll!

A New Doll

Like many people probably I have been feeling a little down lately, although it is more because of knowing I can't visit my parents and probably won't be able to for sometime due to the world restrictions on travel etc...  This is pretty heartbreaking because my Dad is not at all well and I feel very worried.  So I thought I would get a little doll as a 'pick me up', but what to get was the question as I knew I couldn't justify spending much money.  So after chatting with a friend, who very much encouraged me, I decided to get myself a little Paola Reina doll with fun coloured hair!

 She arrived today which was unexpected as she wasn't due to arrive until next week.  

She was in a plastic bag loose in an Amazon box, no packaging round her which is a little bit disappointing.  The bag was ripped, but she wasn't damaged fortunately. 

She had a plastic wrapper and some elastic bands round her head and hair, a little label and a mirror and brush around her wrists.

Here she is with the head bands taken off.  Her clothes are really cute.

Such fun hair!

I also bought a couple of fun outfit sets for her to wear, that cost just under £6 and £7 each.

She tried on this set first as she couldn't wait to go outside to splash around in the puddles.

Love her hair!

Before long she was outside splashing around in the puddles.

Cute little doll, well made and at such a good price, well worth it.  Plus she will fit clothes that my Sasha toddler and Les Corolle dolls wear.

Now I just need to think of a name for her.  I am pretty hopeless at names recently!

30 Days: 29 - 30

Day 29:

Wish it was real L&P in here rather than water....

Day 30:

These little wooden farm animals are fun to play with.

 

Introducing Neil

A couple of pictures of Neil, (named after my piano accompanist and friend who I heard had sadly passed away) my little Käthe Kruse Däumlinchen boy I got myself just before Christmas. I used to have three others of these type of dolls, but sold them a few years ago, wish I hadn't now as he could do with a little friend, and they are so hard to find over here. I don't think I realised just how flexible and poseable they were before.  

He is enjoying playing with a little wooden farm animal set.

He is a real sweet little boy.  I'd like to make some more clothes for him, so if anyone knows of any good patterns for these little dolls please let me know.
