Jonquil

has found her look 

and again (love the mussed up hair).

The dress is Sugarmag and the boots are stock Simply Love Me (just spotted the pull-ring - lots to learn).   I do love Jonquil's pale colouring - and I think she's one of the few girls whose pink eyes actually suit her. 

I can't believe that a few short months ago I hadn't even heard of Blythe - and now - well, I guess I'm a collector (7 RBL's, 1 SBL, 1 EBL, 1 TBL and another TBL on the way).   I cannot believe how much I LOVE everything about Blythe!

Fun in the Garden

Today Rosabela and Silver Snow headed into the garden.

What are you two hatching?

Would you like a strawberry?

We fell jumped into the wild strawberries

Laughing together afterwards 'cos Rosabela sat on a strawberry and nearly lost a shoe!

Now we're playing hide-and-seek          

Ready or not here I come.....

I'm posing hiding against this backdrop of plantpots, wearing my Sugarmag top and accessorised with my Pollymakes backpack (free pattern)!

and now we're looking at cloud pictures (a favourite game for all of us girls).

Introducing Iolanthe....

...a stock NRFB Cappucino Chat, with non-stock forward violet eyes.  Iolanthe means violets in Greek.

Iolanthe is very aware of the effect of her long silvery hair, pale skin and dark violet eyes and is very keen on reminding me that only one other person as far as she's aware ever had violet eyes, and that's the phenomenally beautiful, Hollywood legend that was Elizabeth Taylor!  How she knows that little fact is beyond me!  Iolanthe has decided that she will only ever be seen in black - to increase the contrast with her pale skin-tone and hair.  (She's been to the spa once, which has tamed those frizzy ends a little, but some more treatment is still needed - I'm working up to straightening her hair!!!)

Here's Iolanthe (working the hair):

and the eyes:

I do think she is very beautiful.  Missy has also decided that she'd like to up the glamour stakes - definitely heels and less of a grunge-y look.  Hmmm.  I'd better get sewing and designing, though with all the other girls clamouring for outfits she's going to have to be patient.

Iolanthe and Rosabela's initial greet:

 

Not a great pic - nontheless, Iolanthe's wearing a Sugarmag outfit (if I'd known at the time I'd have kept all the wrapping and backing for if/when I come to resell).   Rosabela's wearing another of her Quenne Doll knits and a pair of cargos picked up in a thrift store.  She likes the lace edging.  Rosabela's showing signs of being the polar opposite of Iolanthe, in dress anyway.  She really likes vintage, loose, baggy - might have to introduce her to Mori - I think she'd really like it.  That sewing list of mine is growing....
