I thought I’d step away from my normal “comfortable” line of designs and do something fancy. I salvaged a lovely vintage crystal buckle from an old dress that was going to the trash. It was my inspiration. The fabric I was amazed to find at a Goodwill! Five yards of beautiful blue silk linen, for $2.99!!! Someone was planning a nice outfit. Fortunately for me, they gave up!! My lovely lady has white lacy thigh high hosiery that fit perfectly into her matching blue strappy heels. Her up do was a total accident when I was trying to figure out what to do with her long hair. I started with a ponytail and slide the band as close to the end as I could, then twisted it and wrapped the end in on itself and secured both sides with a small bobby pin. The flower is stuck in with a pin. What you can get away with when you’re a doll!! All in all, I make it sound like it was pretty easy but it took me all day to finish this!!!

The bow snaps on.
Hope you liked this. I’ve got a few more surprises coming up!

It's nice to meet you Jennifer. I read some of your "On the outside looking in" blog and it made me cry. I didn't know what to say in comment. I'm so sorry you experienced the pain...you are so brave to talk about it.
