Hi there, Jan and gang! Not to get too off-topic but glad to see another fellow animal fanatic hereabouts. What sort of "fur babies" do you have and what are their names? We've got a houseful too. Take your 7 x 2 + 4 and you've got our count. My dolls aren't even on a high shelf anymore. They're in a separate room, with the door c-l-o-s-e-d tight! LOL More to protect them from the cats than the dogs. My felines would regard all the dollies and thier accessories as fabulous kitty toys, guaranteed. Who else has pets, what kind, and how many?

Hi Kathy,
I enjoyed all your pictures. I've been on the hunt for the new fa's myself. So far I have found 8. I know I'll never find them all.
I recently received my FR Fashion Plate Giftset and Exotica Adele. I just love them both. I haven't had much time to play as we just adopted another dog. That makes 5 cats and 2 dogs in the house. Have to put my dolls on a high shelf. LOL!!
My thanks to Suzanne as well for my dolls.
Jan

Hi All, Here are some pics of my recent playing. LOL Well that sounds bad. Before I start, just a quick reminder. Don't forget to get your things ready for the Candichat garage sale. First weekend in Feb. Don't you wish we could all get together and have it in person?
Ok, here we go. I got a fantastic bunch of vintage fabrics this summer, but the pieces were very tiny, so I have been trying things with minimal amounts of fabric. Here is my latest.

Couldn't decide which color pants to make, so I did both.

The model is a ponytail I got at a thrift store a few weeks ago for $50.00. She was missing her bangs, but I was able to get a fantastic match for her hair, and I just finished her up yesterday.
Then my Exotica Adele that I just got from Suzanne ( thanks Suz!) got a look at that outfit, and decided it would be a little warmer than the bathing suit she was wearing, so she stole it.

The bag and jewelry are hers orginally. Very cool doll. I just love her. I was surprised how closely their figures resemble the vintage Barbie ones. The clothes fit great.
I was also playing with some FAs I just got too. This years line is just darling. My number 3 is tired of the glamour life, and just wanted to relax, so she grabbed this.

I just loved this outfit. Then I got this adorable little skirt and paired it with a pink sweater and accessories from the lime time set.

You really have to pin the skirts and pants from the new FA to get them on the fashion models. Between the slim waist on the Fashion models and the big butts on the new body, they are really big. LOL
And last, this outfit straight out of the box, but it looks darling on a red head.

Ok, I will stop for now. Talk to you all later.
