I had a visit the other day from Vicky, one of the team from Janette's Doll Studio. She lives nearby and dropped my order off as she was passing by. She also brought an outfit which I wanted to purchase for Eloi.
As you can see, everything fits my Minouche dolls beautifully.
I also received those long awaited shoes from Russia and paid for them again!
Now my RRFF girls can model their completed outfit No.1 ... Sara has had a hat change and Maya a different wig.

I'm still working on outfit No.2, most is done but I had to wait until I could find some white 4ply wool locally, which I did yesterday. So after I've checked your latest posts, it's back to the knitting needles for me.
Hope you are all well and enjoying some dolly time of your own!
Very pretty outfits. I love the color combinations you chose, they go so well together with the shoes and the hair/complexion. What needle-size did you use?
ReplyDeleteThank you Mia, it was a bit difficult matching the hats exactly as I only had the computer screen to judge the colours, but I think they look okay. I used 4ply wool with 2.25mm needles.

Thank you! I think I need to get my hands on some smaller needles...
DeleteYou're welcome! If you want to knit to scale, smaller needles are a must Mia. I have always gone down in needle size because I'm not usually a tight knitter and smaller needles give a more even finish to my work.
DeleteThey all look so happy in their new outfits! The duck fabric still is adorable.
ReplyDeleteYes, I think they are Uschi. I love the duck fabric too, and these dolls are quite young looking and so they need something cute to wear. 😀

Wow, your RRFF girls look fantastic! I'm glad your shoes finally came in, although it sounds like you still need to work something out there?
ReplyDeleteImagine having something dropped off at your house from a doll crafter!
Thanks Barb, I'm pleased with how they turned out. I'm not sure what you mean regarding the shoes. Elena had refunded me when they hadn't arrived on time, and when they turned up I repaid her.
DeleteYes, it as really nice to meet Vicky and have a good chat about dolls face to face, she is so lovely. 😊

I wasn't sure why you had to pay for them twice; I didn't know if this was the same package that got lost earlier.
DeleteThat's okay Barb, sometimes I forget people can't read my mind. LOL!
DeleteEverything looks simply fantastic! Congratulation on your new purchases and yay for the shoes from Russia - they finally reached you! Your girls look happier than ever ;).
ReplyDeleteSadly, I have almost zero dolly time lately... Hopefully tomorrow I will be able to add new entry to my blog... at long last.
Thank you Chiriann, I'm a happy with everything and more importantly, so are my dolls. 😊
DeleteOh that's not good, we all need time with our dolls, well at least I do, it keeps me in a good frame of mind. I hope you find time to enjoy your dolls soon.

Thank you Linda. Being a bear lover, I knew I had to have that outfit for Eloi, and like all the other clothes from Janette's store, it's beautifully made.
ReplyDeleteThose shoes are like real ones, so much detail in such a tiny size and the colours are awesome.
Big hugs,

They all look stunning in their new clothes, but those knitted outfits are my favourite, they are so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Serenata. I had fun knitting for these dolls and there are more coming soon.

Hola Linda, qué estupendos modelos, me encantan los colores tan elegantes. Hace demasiado tiempo que no tengo un momento para tejer, y lo hecho de menos. Ver tus preciosas muñecas vestidas con esos bonitos conjuntos me hace sentir más fuerte el impulso de coger las agujas y las madejas de lana :-D
ReplyDeleteY me encantan los zapatos. Soy muy amante de los zapatos para mÃ, incluso más que de la ropa, y claro, para las muñecas también me gustan especialmente.
Besos.
Jajaja, Linda no, pero te agradezco de todos modos Ilona. Espero haberte inspirado para que recojas tus agujas de tejer de nuevo, es una forma muy relajante de pasar una noche frente al televisor.
DeleteOh, los zapatos son una verdadera pasión. No sé quién tiene más zapatos, yo o mis muñecas, y bolsos ... Me encantan los bolsos. ¿También te gustan los bolsos?
Grandes abrazos,
X
¡Perdona, Sandy! Después de un buen rato comentando blogs, se me confunden las autoras, jajaja...
DeleteLos bolsos me gustan también, pero mucho menos que los zapatos. Y algo curioso que me pasa, es que me gusta calzarme con los dos extremos, botas y sandalias. Los zapatos me gustan menos, siempre prefiero los pies completamente cubiertos o casi desnudos :-)
Abrazos.
Está bien, Ilona, a mà también me pasa a veces. Como tú, me encantan las botas y tengo nueve pares de botines, pero lamentablemente solo un par largo. Me gustarÃa botas más largas, sin embargo, tengo piernas regordetas y la mayorÃa están hechas para piernas delgadas. Sandalias no tanto, pero tengo unas alpargatas de tiras. 😘
DeleteI love them all. The colors are vibrant and everyone looks so nice/cute. I envy you being able to knit. I love knitted sweaters.
ReplyDeleteBig Hugs,
Dorian
Thank you Dorian. I have been on a knitting binge for months now, which is rather unusual for me as I tend to sew through the summer. Perhaps because we didn't have a normal summer this year, hardly any hot days at all. But who's to say what will happen next in this cockeyed world we have today. Maybe I'll sew through winter!! 🤣

Beautiful outfits and lovely pastel colors. The shoes are cute! And I hope to get some dolly time soon.
ReplyDeleteHugs!
Thank you Niina. It will be great to see you posting again, I've been missing you!

Beautiful outfits you have made them and lovely matching shoes.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Dee, the girls are very pleased with them now they have the right shoes. 😊
