Sharing something a little different this week. Made some new friends that have an awesome existence of a powerhouse of knowledge for Texas visiting sights in multiple media platforms... "the Texas Bucket List" with Shane Auliffe. He sent a sneak peek of the show that airs this weekend I can share with doll friends and family.

Baby Vogue Doll & Brides restored over the past few weeks. It takes weeks due to waiting time for fabrics cleaned to naturally air dry, like the bride outfits. Hand sewing takes time and can be hard on one's fingers after a while when a needle is pushed through the thick vinyl places like on this baby doll with a cloth body. At the factories when these were originally made, a special machine does all the work to sew fabric bodies to vinyl limbs of a doll.

Set of Huge 32" Handmade Vintage Raggedy Dolls get a Cleaning & Repair ( two week job)

For cloth items it is a lot of handwork due to so many steps are taken to preserve their nature look when the restoration is complete. Here in pictures from start to finish in steps I take and why.

Saw a story last summer about this very situation of dolls washing up on the beach of Texas. I would adopt them. Would love to have even one because of their story. To me...they need some serious TLC and love. What a dream vacation for a doll doctor to go and pick up needy dolls on the beach!

Here are a few more "Summer Project"pictures to go with others I posted tonight in separate post. It was a challenging summer this year, but the outcome will be better going into the fall and beyond. I did get a separate wood working area set up outside inclosed for composition dolls, doll houses, and sanding items. I now have that space inside with more tables to leave work on. My work categories have expanded requiring extra spaces I can set work up and leave to come back to. One of the things I literally hate to do is have to pick work up and move it so I can work on something else. I worked on a lot of things this summer in various conditions. I have some newer work I will be posting of soon along with some ongoing projects. Never a dull moment, but I like it that way.

This is a very large 36"x 22" house I remodeled for a customer for his wife for Mother's Day. This took me about 6 weeks to complete and done in time to make the perfect gift. I saved as much of the original house as I could, and repaired the more serious issues it had. It was like remodeling a real house, only in a small version with way less room to work in.

This is a 75th anniversary modern Cissy doll. She was singled out to show that they may not be manufactured as perfect as pictured sometimes. This one is a good example of that.
