My Mini Baby Mum

She has just arrived, i have ordered all three but only the blonde is out in UK. I brought mine from Smyths £19.99 and have the other two ordered from Amazon at £19.99 each one due in August and one September.  She is nicer than I expected, but I do wish she had jointed knees. After all they gave her jointed elbows and wrists so she can hold the baby why not go that little bit extra and let her sit down in comfort?  The box art is nice and good sized window so you can see what you are getting. Doll is fixed in with bands so easy to remove, but if keeping boxed I would guess the bands will rot over time?   Her hair is very soft head is a little bigger than Barbie Now to the belly..  The shell removes and can be replaced or you can flip around the flat stomach for after baby is born.  Baby is in a gel ball, I did not remove the baby as I want to keep as is... for now.  Now for the size of the mum, she is the same size as the average Barbie Her feet are a litt...

Lets Talk 1:6 Scale Fashion Dolls

So what is a fashion doll? It's a doll that is shaped like an adult human, as in not a child or baby doll. Before Barbie came out in 1959 most adult dolls were paper, then Ruth Halder (inventor of Barbie)  found the Bild Lilli doll while on holiday in Germany. She returned to the USA and after some back and forth Barbie was created. This is not meant as a history lesson for more details there are books and google. Bild Lilli and a #1 Barbie both from the collection of Louise Scarlett Sinclair Cook   This is more about shape and size So the first Barbie came out in 1959 followed by Ken in 1961 (not my photo) Over the years Barbie and Ken have changed shape a few times, to fit in with the body shapes of that era. There have been other fashion dolls  through the years Sindy(1963) and her boyfriend Paul (1965-1967) then again in the 80's (1987-1989).  Photos by SinkySnap Tressy (1963-1965) with the grow out hair along with others.  (not my photo) Only Sindy has last...

My Mini Baby Nappies (Diapers)

 Making My Mini Baby nappies (diapers)   The quick and easy way by using bandage ...self adhesive elastic bandage to be exact.  You do need it to be at least 5cm wide to be able to fit the nappy on.   It comes in a ton of colours and even the odd patterned one. Can be found in Chemists (Pharmacy) Amazon, Temu etc Use a nappy from a My Mini Baby and make a paper template   Pin if you want to the bandage but as the bandage is a little tacky you can trace around the template without a pin. I used a Threaders pen that can be washed out.   Cut it out, you might find you need to trim for best fit   And that's it!
