The Last Days of Summer

As summer fades away, Sam (Littlefee Pipi) and Tudie (Littlefee Ante) enjoy just hanging out outside.  The LittleFee dolls really are so poseable I need to play with mine more. I actually took these pictures a couple of years ago, but I like them and just wanted to share them here.

Kids just being kids.

Aren't they adorable?

Getting Into Trouble

Some favorite pics of little Tion, he and Boo are both quite inquisitive and tend to go right for the "forbidden".

The trick is in not getting caught.

Watching Over You-Oggie

As I have mentioned in a previous post highlighting "Fergus", I love all things Outlander and have dolls in a couple of different sizes representing several different characters in the Outlander universe.
When I saw this little cutie, Dream Valley Ding,  I couldn't help but think of Rachel and Ian's Oggie.

There is just something about him that really appeals to me and draws me in...……...so much so that I have another little Ding on order in tan this time. I just love his little face.  He's wearing a "christening" gown previously owned by Tonner's Wee Patsy. I think Adso is fascinated by him too.

Some Hair for Mo

I found a wig that I thought might work for Mo, and it arrived this week. It is a Monique Brittany in off black/size 6/7. I think it suits him.

It's really hard to find a good African American wig that looks realistic for dolls in this size. All in all I like him in this better than his "bald" look.

I think the wig softens him a bit and makes him appear a bit younger than he appeared bald.

Two Sisters and a Cat

Boo (the cat) is always getting into things he has no business in, much to Andi's (Nora and Lydia's Nanny) dismay. If Andi finds him in her gathering basket he may be banned from the house.

So Nora goes about getting him out, and Lydia can't be left out.

The girls are both big animal lovers.

Crisis averted and Boo's house privileges are safe for another day.

Wee Fergus- Outlander Inspired

Inspired by my love of all things Outlander, the idea for wee Fergus in resin form came about after watching season 2 of the Outlander series on Starz. I thought how much the actor playing Fergus in the series resembled Dollshe's Robin. Weird how a doll lover's mind is always working the doll angle into things, lol! Shot below of Romann Berrux, who plays Fergus in S2 and a couple of episodes of S3. I had already shelled several of the other characters in the series (Jamie/Claire/Young Ian/Lord John), and thought young Fergus would be a fun addition.

Anyway, I talked to my friend Lyn, who does most all the painting on my dolls and she too could see the resemblance, so I ordered an Oriental Robin from Dollshe through BJDivas and settled in for the long wait. It took almost 14 months for him to arrive...………….and then I had a setback breaking my ankle, which postponed him going out for a face up. Finally a couple of weeks ago he arrived home.

The long wait gave me the opportunity to have his wig (Monique Bob in size 6/7, brown/black color) and his eyes ready. I was actually able to get the eyes before Jenny at Safrin stopped making her resin Safrin eyes. His eyes are 10mm SI Natural Icicle Safrin eyes. Doesn't he look like the actor?

I'm quite pleased at how he all come together. Eventually I'll get him some clothes similar to what Fergus wears in the show, but for now I'm just really pleased to have him home.  For other Outlander fans like me, as noted above, I have shelled some of the other characters in the series as well.  You can see them in my  Outlander albums  on my Flickr page linked in the sidebar.

Like Potato Chips- Dollshe Kid Musings

I don't know what it is about me and the Dollshe little kids, they are not the easiest size to fit as their size is really unlike any other small doll out there, but when I see one in need of a new home its hard for me to pass them by...………for me they are a bit like potato chips, can't just have one…….that is Robbie's story.

I already had Tion at home and both Fergus and Mo on order through BJDivas, so I certainly didn't "need" (don't you love how we throw that word around) another little boy, nor did I have a specific character in mind for one. I did however have a copper oriental Rosa, my  Rose (also adopted from a friend who decided to part ways with her), and I thought she could use a brother. I love the copper oriental resin, and he was a good price, so I adopted him.

I sent him off to my friend Lyn Raftis to give him a bit of a new look, and Robbie was born. He is pretty darn cute, isn't he? And he's quite different from my other boys. So far, he's making himself right at home. I need to get some photos of him with his Robin brothers, Tion and Fergus.
