My Little Darling doll in mohair curly auburn wig from Global Dolls

This week I tried out one more doll wig on my Little Darling doll. I think this is the last one, because it is the ultimate cutest one yet. It is a mohair curly auburn wig from Global Dolls. The seller even sent a free pair of doll socks.

I was so tickled when I found someone making MIM doll dresses that fit Little Darlings. I crochet but my sewing is not the greatest. Some dresses were a bit long for my Little Darling but most were fine for me. Still no shoes for my Josie. I tried H4H doll shoes on her and just thought they were big looking even with socks. I want to try making some shoes for her first. I feel that having everything made for me stumps my own creative endeavors. So I will be waiting a bit more.

Next I tried another wig on my Goodreau MIM doll. The banana curls aren't very modern but I think she's cute. Now that cold weather is coming I'll be able to make a few things myself.

A different shade of blonde for my Josie

I tried another blonde wig on her today. It is okay but with the reddish eyebrows I still think she is a redheaded little darling. The wigs are tagged size 6 inside them, but almost all of them are really 7/8 inch wigs, so that turned out to be pretty nice for Josie.
I put a Goodreau MIM jacket on her and some cute leggings made by Spindlewick Creations for a H4H doll. The leggings fit pretty well. Still I have no shoes. After buying the doll, I think it will be a while before we get shoes. I could possibly make something. I made 2 right foot shoes one night and used up all the scrap I had to do it. I was so frustrated, I said maybe shoes aren't my thing. I only get so much time off from work and I almost cried. Dolls are usually fun and relaxing for me.
She needs some clothes on, since I am making a cardigan. I need for a cardigan to fit over something like a top. The first problem I ran into with the cardigan is she gets rounder in the middle. For instance, the jacket zips up in the front, but gets snug on her when it is snapped. The jacket was made for a 16" American BJD. Josie can share a few items made for American BJD, Make It Mine dolls. I noticed a jacket from BFC Ink 18" doll fits LDs too. I just love the mini zipper that really works.

Trying out Little Darling wigs

 I got a few wigs this week for some of my smaller BJDs and was surprised to find that several of them fit  Josie. I really like the sausage curls. They are so vintage dolly looking and suit the Little Darlings quite well. I don't have any clothes for her just yet, but I am making her a tiny cardigan. Next Josie will need shoes.

Josie looks better as a redhead.

 I love her intense green eyes. Sometimes they look almost turquoise in color. 

 Different angles show of the chubby baby cheeks. When I first unboxed Josie, I thought her face was slimmer than other dolls. But it is the different angles of the camera that makes her cheeks chubby looking.

I have her dressed in Goodreau Make It Mine clothes for now. She has a cute backpack from BFC Ink 18" doll clothes pack. Still no shoes.
