Sasha Beauty

Posted in Labels: , ,

My beautiful blue eyed brunette girl has arrived home. Lisa did such a wonderful job on the full head reroot. She is stunning. I took Kendal's thoughtful suggestion and have a little bit of the same hair stored incase I decide on the fine fringe but the more I look at her, the more I love the look of her hair just as it is.




I just adore the texture of her hair. It brushes beautifully. Then if I give her a little shake, it has a great tousled look.
This lovely girl was once a blonde gregor from the early 70's. He had a nasty hair cut when he arrived with me and spent a long time wearing various different wigs. Such beautiful big grey blue eyes.



I had often thought that this doll deserved to have a new head of hair as she was so pretty. Then after the arrival of my lovely rerooted side part girl, I decided to take the plunge and she went to Lisa for a makeover.
Her hair is stunning. But not too much of it. I sometimes feel that some of my 80's trendon dolls have a little too much hair and curl. Having said that, this look is exactly what my two nieces love about their Sasha dolls.
This dolls hair reminds me more of the lovely hair on the Gotz Sasha dolls from the 90's.


She is wearing an outfit that I made a while ago, but had never finished. Inspired by the arrival of my beautiful girl, I knit her had and scarf while relaxing infront of the tv. The outfit is knit using a lovely fluffy sock yarn and two strongly contrasting colours of 4 ply wool. Her shoes are the dark red dollfie shoes that look a bit like the Clark's startrite shoes that my sister and I used to wear when we were children.



Thank you Lisa for all your hard work turning my waif into a stunning one of a kind Sasha.
Now I need to choose a name that suits her.

Winter Frost Collection: Part 4

Posted in Labels: , , , , , ,

The models in this group are: Michael (Gotz boy scout); Bethany (a one of a kind Kelly Wenarsky repaint); Elke (Gotz toddler sister to Anna and Annette).


I love these two outfits photographed together. Michael and Elke look so cute together.

Michael's sweater and hat are knitted using a lovely wool/cotton sock yarn. It has a lovely tweedy fleck in it.

His trousers are made from a lovely mid-blue denim and are straight leg with pockets. He has white socks and dollfie track shoes with denim blue stripes on the side.

I really love the shape of this little smock style tunic on Elke. It is so pretty on her and picks up the pale blue of her eyes.
She is wearing little blue denim trousers which fasten at the back.
Her bootees were knitted using denim blue coloured lace weight shetland wool tied with fine blue ribbons.

Michael is such a handsome Gregor. The Gotz and Trendon gregors are very different looking with quite different hair styles. The Gotz gregors have longer hair styles. Very modern looking.


Bethany is wearing a beautiful version of the White Horses sweater. I knitted a similar sweater to this last year. I really liked the pattern and the look of the horses against the dark blues and greens. The sweater has raglan sleeves. The horses were worked in a 4 ply ivory wool.
Her straight leg style trousers are made from dark green wool tweed. A lovely weight of fabric.

Her hat matches the sweater. I used the same main colour sock wool for her little hand knit socks and I-cord hair tie. She is wearing beautiful black boots from Antina's Doll Supply.
