Some new Duds

 It's been a while................real life has really gotten in the way of dolly time for the past couple of months. I finally got a chance this past week to photograph Claire in her new dress from JeansbyJenna. It is made for the FID Slim body, as I ordered it for Brianna, but then I noticed it would work well paired with Jamie in his blue silk vest made by Robyn of Period Threads.

Fraser Blue

 I had Robyn at Period Thread make this vest for me a while ago as I thought it would match Jamie's eyes well. Finally got some photos of him in it.

Adding the coat from SartoriaJ that I got with Jamie in mind.

And a close up of Jamie, just because I love him.

Dressing for Spring

 These pictures didn't turn out quite as nice as I'd hoped they would. I misjudged the natural light a bit, but Brianna donned her spring vest (by Period Threads) and I just felt like taking her out for some new pics since I haven't spent time with any of my Outlander crew for a while. I love the vined material in the material of the vest.

The face up on Brianna turned out so nice. When I ordered it, I was hoping I would like the lip color ok, as in the promos it seemed quite orange. In person it looks much more natural. Perfect for the time period Brianna resides in.

Reluctant Bride

 Looking back through my previous blog entries I realized I had never photographed mini Claire in her wedding dress to post on the blog. Scintillatingdollies on Etsy made this beautiful gown for the FID sized dolls. When I saw it in 2018, I just couldn't resist it. The embroidery is beautiful on the bodice.

And on the skirt as well, and the material of the skirt is a really nice choice as well, and as close as can probably be expected to find in dolly scale.

A shot of the dress Claire wore in the show for comparison, modeled by the beautiful Catriona Balfe.

All in all, I'm pretty pleased with my 17" version.

More Fall Knits

 I've wanted to take these two outside for a photo shoot together for a while now, as I wanted to put both of them in their shawls by Beachgirlnikita on Etsy. Finally got around to lugging them out today. Luckily, with period wear, I can still use their stands outside.

Both of their skirts and Claire's vest are by Robyn of Period Threads. Geillis' top is from Iple. I found the cute little baskets at Hobby Lobby.

I knitted Geillis' arm warmers and Claire's are by Sherry Isenbarger.

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.
