Mary, Mary, quite contrary, how does your garden grow?

The Secret Garden (1993), dir. Agnieszka Holland

I had the day off so I got to play dress up! Finally!!

Fashionista 182 quickly becoming my new muse 💕 I wanted to use her as a "Barbie as Briar Beauty" and stick to pinks and such but anything you put on her looks incredible.

"Briar" is wearing:

Sheryl Meyer's main outfit skirt/dress and belt

Loves.Glam shoes from the Fail Fix doll line

and, the most precious item in all of my doll collection, a 1991 Disney Classics Cinderella's puffy sleeve top. I love Selkie dresses and I'm so happy I ever managed to save this top for all these years. It's older than me!

I'm still trying to get a hold of the whole doll photography thing but at least that mousepad repurposed as a doll rug was a great find!

a mini guide to mini dolls

1:6 Birch Bark Dresser (2 of 3)

Cut mat board to fit drawers. Paint edges with acrylic dark brown paint. Glue paper drawer fronts to dry matboard with glue stick.

Wrap rectangle in thin wood grain paper. I printed the birch bark and birch sticks. Attach with glue stick.

Make top from cardboard. Be sure you have an overhang all around the dresser. Wrap in wood grain paper. Attach to base with tacky glue. Add support piece inside to keep its shape.

Attach drawer fronts with tacky glue.

Attach small pieces of stick for drawer pulls.

Attach birch sticks to edges for table legs/trim.

Tip: Do not use tape on the printed paper. Some came off when I removed the tape. I repaired one area with paper and the other area with soft pastels.

The post 1:6 Birch Bark Dresser (2 of 3) appeared first on Good Info.

Mattel have done a number of superhero Barbie dolls over the years, but one of the ones that is most interesting to me is the 2006 Superman Returns Lois Lane.

She came with a poster for the film and naturally there was a matching Ken Superman doll released as part of the same set. He also came with a poster, though it was a different poster.

None of that however is what I personally find interesting about the Lois Lane Barbie.

Much like actress Kate Bosworth, the Lois Lane Barbie has heterochromia - specifically, her right eye contains both blue and brown pigment, while her left eye is only blue.

This makes this Barbie relatively unique from a design perspective!

The bag and beret are from my childhood and I treasure them.

Samantha wishes everyone a very Happy and Bewitching Halloween!

Toy Sunday’s Theme: Halloween

“Samantha Stevens in Bewitched merely twitched her nose and turned the mortal world upside down. Forever charming and fun, the show features the light-hearted antics that happen between a beautiful but strong willed witch named Samantha and her eternally bewildered mortal husband, Darrin.

Endowed with a wonderful cast of wacky characters, this classic 1960s television series still continues to delight television audiences with its funny stories and whimsical hocus pocus.”
