I hope your Memorial Weekend was everything you wanted it to be. Me, I opt for quiet. So aside from fighting the masses at Savers on Sunday, I got my quiet. Savers had their big Memorial Day Sale on Monday but if you joined Savers rewards or club or whatever they are calling it, you can shop on Sunday and still get the discount. So my sweetheart of a daughter and I went to 4 Savers between here and Salt Lake City. The last one was really a stretch for me, I am not the mad shopper I used to be.
Anyway, a while back I promised to show you my Disney Animator Rapunzel doll.
There was a Rapunzel doll that I found on Pinterest and just loved the Black and White dress on her, so I used that to inspire me. I wanted to finish the white stockings and shoes before I showed her off but I need to get those a bit more perfected.
I am so happy with this doll. I did not have a pattern so I made it all up as I went along. I have masters now for all the dress pieces and since I have a ton of ideas in my head I want to make patterns so I can mix and match as I go. All of the lace was hand sewn and those little black dots are black flowers with a bead center.
I should have taken a picture of this poor doll before. She was a mess and no amount of Downy helped her hair so she has a wig. Now I understand why the 1st edition Rapunzel is so much money. The tinsel Disney put in her hair is horrible!
I have not found another Rapunzel but I have found another Cinderella and just removed her eye paint today so I can practice painting eyes.
See you again soon!
Susan
