Still the same info just new name. 

I also created a new Business Page on Facebook -
Enchanted Dreams Reborn Nursery & Boutique Facebook Page

Also have a new Work In Progress going on. This is the Megan Sculpt. We are almost finished with the painting process and will begin the rooting process. :)

Sugar Sculpt by Donna RuBert is Done!

She is done and ready to be entered in the Fair! Yay! 

Two things that I am missing and are on order a bigger basket and a Lavender blanket. Should hopefully be here sometime next week.

Her dress, bloomers and booties were crocheted by me and her little bracelet was also made by me :)

I will not be using the pacifier for her presentation at the fair. I am still undecided on the bow. Below are pictures of her without the bow. Decisions, Decisions. Some people are for the bow and some aren't. 

Here she is:

Showing the rooting on the back of her head

Big Girl - 5 lbs 10 oz. 20 inches long

I am liking the sleeping babies much better than open eyed babies.

Think I Am Going To.....

Enter my Sugar Sculpt into the county fair. 

I was going to put her in my Etsy shop but thought "Wait a minute, the fair is coming and would love to enter her" 

Here she is rooted, waiting for the sealant inside her head to dry. While I am waiting for that I am crocheting her dress and booties set.  I have until Aug. 15th to get her in. I think I just might make the deadline. 

Keeping fingers crossed for a Blue Ribbon on this one. Then she will be up for sale. I am nervous but super excited.

Also realized in 4 days the competition voting will begin for another reborn I had done but was not allow to show. So we shall see how that competition goes. As soon as the final results of the voting is in and the winner announced I will will be posting her. :)

I think she turned out so cute. As soon as I get her outfit done and her all put together, I will be posting her photo shoot.

Custom Crochet and Work In Progress Reborn

Busy, Busy! But a very good busy. I can work and play at the same time lol

Lots of custom crochet in the works and a couple of reborns. I love when I can take my hobbies and turn them into business.

Also in the works is a new website. So heads up...Soon I will be changing the name on the blog. :) 

Here is one custom outfit that I got done. I think it turned out adorable.  These are not black and white photos. She did ask for the colors to be Gray and White. lol 

She wanted a sweater that would come to the waist of the ruffled diaper cover
so the ruffles would show.

Booties

Now for the latest WIP (Work In Progress)  

This is the Sugar Sculpt by Donna RuBert. I adore this sculpt. Here she is and still has a ton more layers that are needing to be done. :)

She is being done with Genesis Heat Set Paints...Got a new oven YAY!!! Still don't like air dry paints. I have tried two different kinds of air dry and they still are horrible in my opinion. Can't get the depth, or blend, or even the same colors like you can with Genesis Heat Set Paints. I am staying with heat sets :)

Busy in the Reborn Community :)

Whew, been crazy busy with custom orders coming in for crochet clothing and for a couple of reborn dolls to be made. Got a couple more crochet baby/reborn sets up in the shop. 

According to all my postal tracking numbers, the postman is going to be busy with my mail tomorrow. Everything is being delivered tomorrow. Yarn and reborn doll kits LOL

Will try to post pictures when I am finished with all the orders.

Here are a couple of sets I finished, to visit the shop and that item click on the link under the pictures.

Taking a Break from Reborning

So I decided to take a little break from reborning and started to do some crocheting for the Reborn World. 

Legwarmers seem to be the big hit with the Reborn Artists. I have sold many sets and plan on making many more. These legwarmers never made it to my Etsy shop. lol

I call them Ruffles and Bows Leg Warmers. These have sold already and have been shipped. But more is coming. I am always open for orders. If interested comment or send me a message. :)

The baby I created Little Emily which is the Paisley Sculpt by Denise Pratt is not for sale. She is just modeling the set so you can see how they look on a Reborn. These also can work on real babies :)

Their size is Newborn.  Again these have been sold but can always make more to the colors you would like!

So adorable!

Can be made in many colors - These are made in super soft baby yarn. $8.50 for the pair.

Even more adorable LOL!!!

Ruffles and Bows Legwarmers and Flapper Style Beanie with Flower accent. Made in super soft baby yarn.

$12.50 for the set.

Aubrey By Denise Pratt - Now Callie

Ok - I am now happy with this sculpt. Wow...what a challenge she was. I am going back to heat set paints. Shopping for a new oven and will be back in business.

Callie

Little Aubrey - Painting is finished

Finally got the painting done on this sculpt. I think I am starting to become happy with the outcome. After many more layers of air dry paints I think I have got her skin tones and such to where I would like them to be. I may hit some areas with the heat set paints and use the heat gun to set them.

One thing I have learned. You can paint over the air dry with heat set paints but not the other way around. Just like the old saying...Oil and water don't mix well. I tried using the heat set matte varnish as the very first layer to seal the kit and hopefully the matte varnish would grab the paints a bit better. No Go!!! The air dry would not stick. That is where oil and water don't mix well. 

Really need to get a new oven. I miss using heat set paints. I gave air dry paints another chance and still don't like them for painting a reborn. Just can't get the effect with air dry like you can with heat set.

Here she is all painted and has the lines marked on her head with chalk to start her rooting. :) If she turns out like I vision her to turn out...She will be up for sale in my Etsy Shop --- Keeping fingers crossed. I will not sell a reborn doll if I see one thing wrong with it. In my eyes the baby needs to be PERFECT!!!! :)

Time to give this little girl some hair. I am going to use a baby brown colored mohair and this mohair has some curl to it. Still contemplating if I am going to hand root her eyelashes or give her fake ones. I find the fake lashes make some sculpts look too dolly. Still thinking.

Took forever to get this skin tone. I have lost count on how many layers of paint I have on this baby. I am thinking way over 75 layers. 

Still need to tweak the lips. Not happy with the lip color.
