Space Suit
Feb 17, 2018 19:48:47 GMT -5
via mobile
Post by artz_annie on Feb 17, 2018 19:48:47 GMT -5
Ok so I have to say I absolutely love this space suit. And I definitely feel it’s worth every penny I spent. However the gloves and boots have latex. And buyer beware!! I’m allergic to it and found out the hard way that these have latex on them. However if I review just the product ignoring that issue I give it a A+ it’s heavily detailed. It’s heavy period. The quality of this is no joke. It’s very high quality. The suit is lined and balloons out. The gloves and boots fit snug and are made out of rubber/latex coating that is like the real thing. The clear cover of the helmet retracts and goes down easily. There’s lots of tiny details that really add to this piece. Like the little wrist mirror because real astronauts wear those too. The booklet explaining how to put the pack on. And the booklet that explains what every piece of the suit is and what it does/is for. For me this set screams high quality. And I love it! I won’t be returning it. And if I ever have to take my doll out of it I will ask my husband or my best friend to do it for me. http://instagram.com/p/BfR2Yl6AzL2

My Logan arrived today. I am in love with this guy. He's so cute!!! However he did arrive damaged. He had a pull in his torso. I do not intend to exchange or return him though. Here are some pictures. I love his meet outfit too. He came out of his box with ease. This is the pull in his torso. I'm glad I made the tie he's wearing last night. Because I wouldn't have had had one for him if I hadn't. He holds other instruments with ease.

Seeing your daughter in that dress makes me want to go grab the black cotton sateen finish material I have and go make a doll size version of that dress!! I like it more than the poodle skirt outfit for the doll.

Skiff
Feb 26, 2015 17:50:36 GMT -5
Post by artz_annie on Feb 26, 2015 17:50:36 GMT -5
I have wanted this piece since it came out. I look at it and think of my own time fishing with my dad as Caroline did in the stories. My BF purchased it for me during Jill's Deals. He had wanted to buy it for me since it came out and just happened to be with me when I noticed it went on sale last week and insisted we get it.
I am the very proud owner of Caroline's skiff. I was impressed with the quality and weight of it. Its 95% wood. The only plastic pieces being the sail and the notch the sail goes into. The quality is definitely high on this piece. I am positive this piece will be getting a lot of use from me as I have already spent a few hours playing with it since it arrived in today's mail. Even my BF played with it a bit. My BF was impressed with this piece too and felt he spent his money well.
I definitely give this piece an A- only due to the plastic sail posts.

I purchased my darling PM Addy from a fellow board member. She is a 1993 Addy in good condition. I used some wrinkle releaser in her hair to make it more shiny and easier to brush. I took several pictures of her today. Couldn't quite decide on what I was going to have her wearing today. So I have pictures of her in a number of dresses. Kaya has been wearing Addy's birthday dress so, I took a picture of them together. First thing I did when she got home I changed her hair style On the way home from the post office.

My 61 arrived today. I am using her to create a custom Saige. But I wanted to share a couple of pictures of her from before. Her eyes were actually a lighter green than my other dark green eyes. Her wig is on the thin side. But not so thin that I would send her back. her hair is a lovely shade of fiery red. This is after I moved the wig to the Saige head. But its still 61s wig. You can see how lovely it is. This is before I switched heads right after I picked her up from the PO.

I actually have a pair of of PM Molly's with a tan body. One has her original wig the other does not as her original wig was in horrible condition she now has the closest RRG wig available. Maddy on the left has her original wig, Molly on the right does not. Molly (rewigged one) is chunkier than her counterpart. And I believe she was made around 1996 and the other 1997 or 98. Maddy the one on the left is taller than Molly (rewigged)

I returned mine due to it being poorly constructed. As a seamstress I give it a C. Pros: The color was nice. I loved the thumb holes.
Cons: A tad too expensive. The neckline seam was about to bust when velcroed in the back. The material is itchy. Too sheer. The Velcro will pull a d snag that sweater to pieces.

I think they are cute. But much to my surprise I don't like the sleeves on it! Molly has to wear it with a robe. But here she is without.

I absolutely adore this outfit! I love that it is so detailed. The socks are thick bobby socks. I find them very useful. The tstrap sandles are darling and the only type of sandles my dolls use. The lace edging on the top is a great touch and good quality lace. With Molly's upcoming archival its no surprise this outfit is already back ordered.

My Abby's eyes don't look quite as green as some. But she is such a lovely doll. Its so frustrating that AG already retired her. Her wig is not too short like most "Short" haired dolls. Her hair has enough length that it has a lot of playability. Unlike most "short" haired dolls. She is my 3rd with bangs. And the first with the new bangs vs pie bangs. My 48 is Abby Scuito from NCIS. I am not the only one here who has a Abby doll. My Abby has a Bert the farting hippo I bought from the NCIS store. I love my Abby. She is getting her ears pierced tomorrow morning at the DC store. I made her some outfits to fit her Abby Scuito personality. The little plaid pleated skirt is so Abby. Abby comparison pic

I am NOT jewish. But you only need to go back a few generations to find some Orthodox in my family tree. One of my cousins converted when he married his wife. Rebecca is one of my absolute favorite AGs. She is definately one of the most beautifull dolls AG has ever created. these are some of my prettier pictures, that I was able to dig up.

I totally LOVE 56!! She arrived today. Her hair is a golden blond. Her eyes are the new Med blue between light and dark. A aqua. He hair is short curly. Shorter than 41 more 21's length but curlier than 21's wig. Im sure if you wanted to style it differently than me it the ends would tip past her shoulders. Her wig was a little difficult for me to style at first but once i sprayed it a few times and finger styled it how I wanted it was easy from there. Here she is in the car while still in the box here she is in Kits pjs I put her in Kanani's party dress it looks awesome on her I took a comparison shot with Lanie. 56's hair is darker mine has lighter skin and rosier complexion.. obviously eye and freckles are dif. Shes more a blond version of Lindsey. A comparison shot with Lindsey would be good for anyone else who buys her. here she is with the rain coat over kanani's dress Her curls are very thick and soft. Although I could see the wigcap in the back. That tends to be the case with curly headed dolls. A+ from me!!

I totally LOVE this dress! So Much when I saw it in the store I knew I had to buy two!! It is a lovely shade of turquise. The sleaves are like the ballerina sleaves on Bitty Baby's Ballerina outfit. It has a fine mesh tule under the soft velour ruffle sleave. The bodice is all the same turquise velour. with a sequined velour sash, that is quite well made. Doesnt look like the sequins are going anywhere anytime soon. The skirt is printed velour of the same shade of turquise. The print is like a palm leaf? design. and in velour when i say printed that means there are sections of the velour that are not soft but sheer as though the velvet was worn away in that design. the shoes are great! extremely trendy silver sandles. with two sequins on the top. Since it is a LE dress I am glad I bought two!!! Because this goes great with Blue Eyed girls..

This outfit is one of the new outfits Debuted at the DC store at the Soft Opening on Wed June 15th. I got two of them because I totally love it!! It comes with a knit skirt with foax snap accents and elastic waist with inner star you embroidery things on the corner. Arm warmers that are magenta. This is not bright pink or red its a very deep almost purplish pink. The top is made out of the same color material with embroidered shoulder accents, and short sleeves. The tee is that super light weight cotton thats almost see through if held up to the light. The shoes I was impressed with they are probably man made materials but it feels like leather almost. and fit well. they are magenta and white with elastic laces. combined with the Rasberry Glasses it looks amazing!! I like it best on the darker haired girls. Here you can see my rewigged PM Lissy wearing the armwarmers with another mixed and matched outfit along with a better view of the shoes and outfit on the new 55 (Bella)

I got her at the DC store at the Soft Opening on Wed!!! She is so lovely!!!!! She looks just like me!!!! I love her creamy brown hair (same shade as mine right down to the redish blond highlights) and the hazel eyes look almost green in some lights.. but browner in others.. Here is Bella (55) with my rewigged PM Lissy, and Alice (39) She is wearing the new school outfit with arm warmers, and new rasberry frames I tried her in all most the frames I got. Here is the chocolate frames on her and the tortise shell rectangular frames her hair is thick and wavy/curly.. So fun to play with!

I finally got her at the DC store Soft opening!! She is so lovely!! Definately a fav!! I love her layered hair.. Though it isnt all that noticable beyond how she has a shorter section in the front. I got two of kanani's new outfits and one of them is (obviously) for her.. I love her best in the solid blue rectangular glasses I got her the two tone too But I dont like them as well. here she is next to Bella the new 55
