Sunny Afternoon

 I changed Bree to another one of her new skirts and took her out for some photos. I thought the bushes out front were a little more shaded than they actually were, but we weren't out long. Just makes getting the shots a little more difficult, although I do like the dappled light affect here.

It was a bit windy too, but I guess that is to be expected as it is fall.............

I need to get motivated and knit some more things for the smaller dolls. I do like how this scarf/shawl I knitted last year works with this skirt though.

Mother & Son

 Still playing with Marsali, trying on different things in the wardrobe to see what might fit her. I put one of the nYID outfits I have on her, and while not a perfect fit, it will work in a pinch. I also decided to get my little blonde Dollshe Robin out and put him in some shots with her to see how he might work as Germain.

I like him in this role a lot............now I just have to find some blue eyes for him I guess. I guess I may have to shell grown up Fergus too! I may see how my SartoriaJ Jude works in the role.............what a slippery slope! 

And one last shot of Marsali. I had forgotten I had this "cap", as I've never used it before as Claire refuses to wear one. It suits Marsali though.

Marsali

 I was looking at the grouping of my Outlander dolls in my doll room this morning and had the thought that my Mature Narae (who is my oldest BJD, but she never gets any attention anymore) might fit in well as Marsali in the Outlander world. I love my Narae, and have no intentions of selling her, and it would be fun to put her in a role where she might actually get more attention. Forgive her shirt, she needs a proper shift, but this morning was a testing of trying to figure out if I thought she would fit in, so I just pulled together some clothing I had that was workable.

 I pulled down Rachel and Claire from the doll room to do a group shot of the women of Fraser's Ridge to see what I thought.  I really think she works well in the role.  She's tiny next to Rachel and Claire, but I've always seen Marsali as tiny anyway, and Marsali in the TV show is tiny as well, so her size works for me.  Now that I have decided that she does work rather well in this role I'll have to work on getting her some clothing pieces of her own. The waist cincher and skirt made for my nYID doll does fit her rather well though. I'm excited to have another way to play with an old favorite.

Putting these three together for a photo makes me want to get Brianna in SID size to go with them! They do make rather a striking group I think.

Portrait shots of Rachel and Claire as well, since I had them out.
