Suzy's Minis

Hello from the Barbie Ranch!  I hope you are enjoying this summer season and getting plenty of fresh air and vitamin D. I love to garden but an injured knee has been slowing me down a bit this year. My husband surprised me by making a new flower bed space that is easy to access and he edged it with a Barbie sized fence! Perfect for a ranch. I might need to treat myself to a few S chleich horses :) 

 Pretty sure this is the first photo of me with a Doll.  I think I am probably a week old. I was pretty tiny lol   Its also a pretty creepy looking photo. 50 plus years later and I am still posing with dolls :)

This is a really easy project you can do for all Doll sizes. This one here is 1:6 scale The centre circle should be slightly smaller than the diameter of the dolls head. Felt stretches so if the circle is slightly smaller you can stretch it to fit.  Cut one circle of felt and 3 or 4 matching circles in a sheer fabric Put it together like a sandwich ( in layers) put dots of glue between each layer.  

Hope everyone is enjoying spring.  Such a beautiful time of year!  I haven't posted much due to work and some family matters but I wanted to share a few upcoming events this weekend!

1960 35mm Kodachrome slide photo of an unknown girl and her doll.  It looks like this doll is a 21 inch one and probably made by IDEAL.  Do you recognize the doll? She looks similar to a Saucy Walker but I'm not sure.
