HI All, Few quick replies to some questions on my latest round of pics. Orange Sherbert was a mermaid lea in her former life. I body swapped, cause I was too lazy to reroot the orange hair. I needed another doll with orange hair, as this is the outfit I originally started to go with the orange haired doll that ended up in the purple and orange plaid. Not sure how I got my self into that one. LOL The eyelash fabric was surprising easy to work with. Other that having little bits of threads ALL over the work room. I am still finding pieces or it. I didn't do anything special for the seams other than a lot of fraycheck as the fabric was pretty loosely woven.

The perfume bottles in the shop are made of tiny crystal beads, and are a lot of fun to do. I actually made those quite a while ago, and just rememberd I still had them. The bags in the article in Barbie Bazaar were made by several people that I know very well. I actually have a couple of the little oval fifties ones in the shop already that were copied for Tess's bags in that article. I have one of the little wooden ones too, but it is still on the doll that it was made for.

And yes we have had some cave ins from the snow. Our Bed, Bath and Beyond store is totalled, and I have seen several other stores with yellow tape around them because they have been condemed. Our next door neighbor had some pretty bad sagging in his roof, but our little shack built in the 20s seems to be holding up just fine. The temps have been in the forties, so things are melting, but not at an alarmingly fast rate. ( knock on wood!) We mostly just had a little wet snow yesterday that melted as it fell, but they are possibly forecasting another foot for Thursday into Friday. Hope it really isn't that bad, because people are still trying to get all the limbs from the trees cleaned up from the last one. It is quite a mess. Ah well, I have laid in the supplies, and I am ready again! LOL
