What Do You Mean You Didn't Notice I Was Gone?!

  I have been away for a while. My computer wire wore through and I had to get a new one. So while I was waiting for a new one to arrive I busied myself with other things. I hung out a lot of laundry,mowed the yard again, washed up some second hand things,(Including some things you'll be seeing soon.),worked in the yard a bit,sorted through a bunch of things, cleaned off my desk, and my record player,(Which I am back to using due to my CD player refusing to open when asked. Unfortunately, the crappy modern record player doesn't work well either.),sorted through more things,(I have a lot of things.),and photographed some dolls for future use. I photographed today's doll one sunny day. So, in honour of National Sun Day today,(Which I learned about via Emma's radio show tonight,which celebrated with a 'sun' theme.),here she is.

She's a Living Skipper. You might have seen a little of her in my post on a different doll HERE.

In fact.she's just about my favourite of my Living Skipper dolls.

I got her in a lot on Ebay. When I got her she was just a head. 

She also had part of one eye missing..

Her skin tone was so beautiful that she was worth saving. I repainted her eye.

I have rebodied her a couple of times at least. Her currant body is in pretty good shape.

Her knees bend pretty well,as do her elbows.

There is still damage though.
 

She really deserves a good body because her head is so nice.

So I'm still looking to upgrade her body again.

As you can see, the flowers on my ground cover vines are blooming like crazy.

Her dress could use an upgrade too, but I think I can repair it. It's the dress from the 1970 Skipper fashion Pink Princess.

The dress also has a green coat with pink velvet trim,and a pink 'fur' hat.

Happy Sun Day!

  See you soon.

Doll-A-Day 32: Skipper Saturday a Day Late, (but here she is...)

  Computer problem taken care of, and Skipper pictures down loaded. As I said, this is standard straight leg Skipper, wearing Chill Chasers from 1966, (minus the red beret). I have the red button version, but the coat was also produced with white buttons. Enjoy!

Please ignore my neighbors ugly fence...as I try to ignore my neighbors.

See you later today for the beginning of Big Eye Week!
