Hello from the Great Wet North!
Posted: Wed Jun 15, 2011 2:25 amNew to doll collecting and wondering if I've just entered my second childhood! I admired the dolls of a lady I met in a writing group, but didn't want to jump that deep into the hobby right off so I acquired a Moxie Teenz first. However when a great sale coincided with a good paycheck, I bought the Ellowyne Wilde I'd been looking at for some months. (I've named her Joan Wilder.) I mainly got her so I can make clothes for her since she has much better figure than I and looks good in anything and I like to sew.
I'm in a 50-something who lives in Alaska with my hubby and grown son. I work part time at our local library and I'm a published author of one kid's book so far. Besides sewing and writing, I also bead and scrapbook. I'm currently re-painting a jewelry box as a dresser for Joan and her few things I've made/bought for her to wear so far.
Joan has a Victorian dress I made from a pattern I got on ebay and I'm currently blinging out a medieval dress I purchased on ebay. Her next outfit will be a Lolita dress. The Moxie Teen (who still needs a better name than Tristan) is getting outfitted as Ozma, Princess of Oz but it's been years since I sewed without a pattern so that's taking a little longer.
Looking forward to finding some other Ellowyne owners who want to talk doll fashion.

I also want to publish at least one kid's book some day. That's my big dream in life really. And I also have one Ellowyne, she was a gift and I haven't had the time to make her clothes yet, unfortunately. Can't wait to see pictures of your dolls
