For Sale! Caroline The Showgirl Diva Doll


Yes, I really am selling her... She is on auction now in my eBay Store right now! I put her on auction for 7 days starting today April 24th.
So sorry I haven't been able to keep up with my blog. I haven't had time lately due to my husband recovering from surgery. I am happy to say he is coming along.
For those of you who are waiting for my new Cinderella Pattern to come out, all I can say for now is I am working on it and there are tons of pictures. As soon as I get a better idea of when it will be available I will let you know!
Its one of those hot and humid days here in Florida, eeek! The winter was so nice and cold, great for sleeping cuddled up under the blankets... LOL!!
I hope you are all well! Have an awesome weekend!!!!
Hugss,
Caroline

Cinderella Doll is Finished!

I am sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you on Cinderellas update, but my mind kept going blank...LOL!! Now that the doll is finished I can start putting the pattern together. I took so many pictures, its going to drive me crazy... Oh, well! Thats half the fun.


The "Glass shoe" that inspired this doll, didn't work... Anyway, Cinderella wanted Crystal slippers, so this is what I cam up with. The are as close as I could get to, looking like glass slippers. I'm happy with them! So is Cinderella... LOL!


There lots of detail around her face including real Swarovski Crystal earings and Necklace.

Along with her fake eyelashes, she also has clear AB crystal eyeliner! I love sparkle!


I made silk ribbon flowers, faux pearls, fancy trim, feathers and Vintage Millinery flowers in her head piece. I left her hair wild and natural.

I will be taking more pictures of Cinderella tomorrow of the full view, from head to toe!
Hopefully, I will get a chance to post them within a couple of days!
Thank you for visiting!

Caroline

Cinderella Earings How-to!




Cinderella Earings how-to!
The supplies are listed with a picture of the item.
Also, it is helpful to have a couple of jewelry tools, as shown.
Simply line up the supplies as I did and attach from the bottom up.
By making your own doll jewelry, you can save a bunch, not to mention you will have one-of-a-kind items.
As you can see its easy! Enjoy!

Cinderella Necklace How-to







This is the Necklace on Cinderella.
Its is sooo easy!
I have added the supplies and amounts directly in the pictures so you can see what the item is. I hope this helps.
Start with the Crystal heart... add a bail. Slide it over the Crystal chain.
Next add knot covers to each end of crystal chain, adding a small dot of E-6000 glue, then press closed. Add twist closure. You may need jewelry pliers, but it can be done by hand.
Thats it!
Hugss,
Caroline
