Turns out I can’t resist dolls.

There are two new-to-me Tylers who have moved in lately.

The first one actually is Sydney Chase, and the outfit is Mosaic Modern from 2004. The collar on that coat is something, very Mad Hatter, but I like her colouring and haircut. Red boots, too.

The second is Tyler Wentworth, It’s My Party from 2005. Serious Audrey Hepburn vibes with that dress. 🙂

And there’s a new Silkstone Barbie on pre-order this week. The Sapphire Anniversary BFMC, which has an articulated Silkstone body. Not my fave sculpt and I tried to resist temptation – but lost. 🙂

I kind of like that she has blue hair.

She’s still available to members at Mattel Creations right here. (If you’re not a member already, you can just add $10 to the cost of the doll to become one.)

I’ve seen a rumor that the next Silkstone is that blonde in pink and black in the background of this image.

She’s also front and center on the Uno card deck – you can see Ms. Sapphire on the box at the right, too.

That deck of cards is also available from Mattel Creations, right here.

(Have you ever played Uno? I’m pretty sure I haven’t…)

And finally, Grace Fitzpatrick has left the premises. I just didn’t love that RTB-101 body and having one doll with such different proportions from the other 16″ girls was making me a bit nuts. I did keep her shoes, though, just in case another RTB-101 girl catches my eye one day.

I have some sewing projects for the girls finishing up and will show you them soon.

Plus I bought another miniature kit, which is proving to be kind of an addictive little build. Even though it’s my most recent acquisition, it might be the first of these kits that I actually finish.

Finally, I’m knitting the collar band of my Quintessential Cardigan. After that, there’s just the seaming and blocking, so that lime sweater should be done soon, too. I’m proud of myself for sticking to it with this one and getting it finished at a reasonable speed. After that, I’ll pick up an abandoned project, probably my Tegna pullover in Koigu. It would be good to get that one done while I can still wear it this summer – since I missed finishing it last summer. LOL
