Alyrenee's Copious Spare Time

The centerpiece is a nice American Model limited to 100 pieces called Milady.  I am a little shocked at the lack of Tyler at this convention so far...I thought for sure there would be more of her and friends tonight as the centerpiece...but maybe there will be something tomorrow. The souvenir is a Deja Vu...Lady Arabella Bertran le 300.

Well...yeah.  So that happened today. http://www.tonnerdoll.com/2014-mainline-release Use the code MAINLINE14 to get 10% off and free shipping until 4/9. Absolutely nothing for me here.  Frankly I don't get why they do releases and offer discounts with expiration dates when more than half of the dolls don't have images!  Unreal.  They want us to pre-order sight unseen? Not likely. Lots of little girl dolls including more Patsy   and Patsyette on the Tiny Betsy body and a new line called Half-Pint . Half-Pint is a modern cutesy whereas Patsy is retro cutesy. I could care less about Big Bang Theory  but I would love to get Sheldon's outfit at some point.  The sculpt looks good actually and I like that they used the teen body for Amy.  We have to wait to see the sculpt for Amy (unless you saw the forbidden photos from Toy Fair).  I also noticed it said "first edition" for Sheldon so I wonder if there will be a "second edition" like...

I swear...I am never buying a Tonner Convention Exclusive again....They always go on sale....meh.  But here ya go...sweet doll on Phin and the very cute Military Theory outfit.  Remember, these outfits fit Cami & Jon and Phin is the same size as Tonner Matt.  Plus free shipping on these until June 16th or they run out.  Tonner has the Steamy Dorothy & Scarecrow on sale plus the American Model Outfits.  I want that Dorothy outfit at some point... http://www.wildeimagination.com/c-11-end-of-edition-specials.aspx http://www.tonnerdoll.com/tonner-dolls-on-sale-now

I just deboxed this beauty.  I have not had one of these for awhile. I bought the 22" Amazon wonder woman last year but she still languishes in her box. But two weeks ago I saw this girl on Tonner's site and decided I had to have her. Well of course she is sold out. I managed to get lucky on Ebay and found her for a good price. Well sewing for her is a dream.  Obviously the larger size is a huge advantage. I look forward to recreating some complicated period garments for her. Today I whipped up a simple lace dress for her that goes nicely with her original outfit. I have enough lace to make maybe two more of these to sell at the Tonner convention. I plan to add some little appliques and beads as well.   I just need to get her some more wigs.  Normally I hate wig dolls but in the larger scale it does does not seem to bug me. I might try making her a wig myself.
