she's all that...and a bag of chips

So Scarlett is made-over. If that's even a word. I have to say I'm slightly embarassed to admit how much I have enjoyed playing with the doll. I feel like it diminishes my claim that I am a grown up. Who knew that motherhood would make me regress back into childhood?

The poor girl's little dresses from Lisa's Little Lasses are a little tight around the next because she's built a little bit like James Harrison (for those of you who don't know he's one of my favorite Steelers, not a small man). I sympathize with her that she will forever be squeezing into clothing that's not quite big enough but it is the affliction of the fairer sex. I also don't care because I am so in love with her sweater that Mary Ellen knit I don't think she'll be showing too much of her arms. I think it's the most darling thing. And I don't think I have ever used the word darling before...Here she is enjoying her new dresses...

As you can see I went back to the messy buns. Just can't escape the cuteness of those damn things, and after watching a number of You Tube tutorials (yes, it's true, You Tube continues to amaze me too) on how to do them, I think they turned out pretty swell. And speaking of swell, here is the aforementioned darling little sweater. I think next Mary Ellen should knit me one, because I would wear that!

 

I have abandoned the idea of trying to re-do her eyes because I've decided that now with her gorgeous new clothes they are quite lovely just as they are. I'm sure little Scarlett is overjoyed that I will not be coming at her with a four inch needle any time soon. I will leave the art of these dolls to the makers I think, and admit that all I really am is a big kid that likes to dress them up and play with them. Post make-over Scarlett is so cute she's not going to be allowed into rotation with Ryleigh for quite some time...

 

Scarlett with her new wardrobe!

I'm ready to do it all again. Which means I am cleared to start trauling the Waldorf Adoptions pages on Facebook again to find another bargain basement project doll. Happy does not even start to describe it! So for now, it's goodbye, I have some shopping to do ;)
