Fabric Swatches Added!

Wow, it has been a busy week! It is so nice to be feeling better. The clothing I make can be customized according to the materials I have. I don't have a problem with that and I don't even charge a lot extra for it, although depending on the materials used, the prices may vary some. I have added the fabrics I have to photobucket http://s399.photobucket.com/albums/pp79/groovin_granny/Fabrics/ and if you go up to the groovin granny part you can find some of the other things I have in the store and the dolls and clothes I make. Photobucket has become my image site, and I keep a backup of course.

Today, provided I don't take a trip to Walmart, I plan to take photos of the laces and other notions I have and put them on photobucket. Some of them I will be selling. Everything except the material is for sale outright. The material, I keep for creative purposes. I have to buy to often not too.

Now that I am feeling better, Let's Get this Show on the Road!!

Barbie Dresses

As if she reaching out to her love, Barbie is ready for a wedding!

Since I had the very first Barbie I have absolutely loved her. I gave up dolls for boys and babies for a little while, but over the years I have always had a love for sewing for Barbie. Here are some of my dresses. I will add a lot more as time goes by.

Embellished with lots of lace and pearls, this dress took many hours to make. I tried to pay particuar attention to detail. I love weddings!

Take note of the pearls used on the edge of the train, they are slightly irridescent.

The back of the train has a pearl and squiened applique.

Dolls, Fabulous Dolls!

When I first opened my store, I sold a really beautiful doll for just a few dollars. Later I found out she was worth a LOT! of money, she was from the late 1800's, a beautiful Bleuette with dark hair and lovely pale skin. Since then, I have become obsessed with an old love! Dolls! When I was a young and learning to design, I used to cut the sleeves off my dad's shirts and make clothes for my Barbie Dolls. Oh, how I got in trouble for that. Here you will find the dolls and clothes that I work with.
