Moxie Teenz - Series 2

I usually have been staying home on Thursdays,

but today I needed to go out and pay a bill. So

I decided while I was out I would to go

to another Wal-Mart 

(I haven't been to this one in ages).  Wanted to see 

if they had the LIV "It's My Nature" dolls on sale or 

any other outfits or accessories.

There were no "It's My Nature" dolls to be found, but 

I was able to pick up two other outfits. 

 A Party Dress

Sailing Outfit. 

At this Wal-Mart, they had no new LIV dolls.  They had 

The Barbie Jeans Basic dolls priced at 15.00. (The store I 

usually go to never got the Barbie Jeans Basics) They 

also had some S.I.S. dolls which the other two Wal-Marts I go to don't.

(Neither do Target or TRU's)

But going down the aisle I saw something that I have 

wanted for awhile.  I had gotten the Moxie Teenz Bijou No 2 many months 

ago.  But it seems like all the stores (Target, TRU's and Wal-Mart) never 

got any of the other dolls in the series.  I thought it was a lost cause since

I wasn't going to buy them on E-Bay for double the price. 

There they were, Tristen and Melrose.  But no Arizona. And you

know I wasn't going to leave the store without them.

Tristen

I love her glasses!

What bothers me is that I have to go all over the place to find 

dolls that I want to buy.  Well, there is one more Wal-Mart that 

I can go to.  Maybe Sunday?

Liv Purchases

During the past month I have been looking at 

the clearance aisle in Wal-Mart. Picked up 

a few Liv items. Hopefully they will soon have 

a 50% off their clearance items.

One accessory set.  

Has laptop, case, ipod, cell phone. 

a desert, glass and a tray. 

3 different outfits.  I love the multicolored jacket. 

Too bad they don't make it in my size. 

Liv 

It's My Nature 

Spin Master

2010 

Made in China 

She was $5.00.  The others in the series were 

still priced 19.97 and were in the Clearance Aisle. 

Wasn't 19.97 the original price?

I even scanned the boxes to make sure. 

I would have bought the others if they were priced 

the same as Sophie.

Lane Hope Chest with Totsy Clothes

A few years back on E-Bay I purchased 

a Lane Hope Chest with 5 different Totsy outfits, accessories and a

standing mirror. (Can't find my mirror)

From what I have read, it was sold thru the Sears Catalog in 

1988/89.  I have seen different sets. One for college, 

another for winter. On the flyer that was enclosed in the Lane chest you

could order other clothes. 

The clothes fits the Fashionista Body.  There are earrings, shoes, stockings and other 

accessories included.  Some of the shoes don't fit well. Others are okay. 

Emily Anne decided she wanted to try on the outfits.

The wedding dress. The heels kept falling off. 

The veil had a headband that would not  stay on her head. 

Swim Suit and accessories 

Bathing suit cover up

Evening Clothes

Hate the large bow on her shoulder.

Daywear 

Night Clothes 

Clothes are marked Made in China.

A few months ago I found an unopened pack of 7 outfits, which I 

am assuming that they might be from doll clothes that were 

sold thru the Sears Catalog, or from Totsy mail order. 

They have the same type of accessories included. 

Will have one of the ladies model those in a future post.

My First Re-body!

Today was the day I was going to try and

re-body the doll that I posted about a few days ago. 

I read over the hints, and thought I would try 

the hot water suggestion first.  That didn't seem to

work since I think my water isn't hot enough. 

So I commandeered my youngest daughter's

blow dryer and started heating the neck of the blond. 

Well, I started getting frustrated.  I was using my nail file

and it kept bending.  I was going to give up trying to get 

the head off. until I saw my daughters bobby pins. 

Heated up the neck again and worked with the

bobby pins at getting the head off! 

Success! 

Then I worked on the other doll which took less time than the first.

Popped the head on the new articulated body! 

My first re-body done. 

Here's how Emily Anne looks with her new body. 

She is very pleased with the results.

Thanks to Ms. Leo, Dollz4Moi, Niel, and Cat for their helpful 

hints and for giving me the confidence to try and re-body!

Crocheted Doll Outfits Video

I promised to make a video of 

the other dolls with their crocheted

at the Thrift Store.

Today's Thrift Store find - Crochet Doll Clothes

Haven't been finding too much at the 

Thrift Store lately.  Today was a different 

story.  I decided to go when it first opened.

On the racks, I saw dolls dressed  in crocheted doll

clothes.  At first I thought, I didn't need any more

Blond Barbies or clones, but then the clothes were unique. 

I could always take the clothes off and get rid of the 

dolls.  So I put two in my cart and then went down

another aisle and there were a few more. 

Then I started looking more closely at the dolls. 

I realized some of these dolls were older Integrity Dolls. 

They were all over the store.  I wound up with twelve dolls.

I am only going to post pictures of one of the dolls and will

try to do a video of the others. 

Oriental type of outfit 

All the clothes are removable.  Who ever made

these put snaps on the clothes.

Underneath are a pair of crocheted black pants. 

The sandals reminded me that my fellow 

doll bloggers have been talking about the 

sandals that another doll blogger makes.

Limbe Dolls

makes sandals for her dolls using other materials. 

From what I hear she is going to have a tutorial 

on her blog on how she makes her sandals sometime 

in September.  Check out the other tutorials on 

her site.  They are wonderful.  Clear, precise 

directions. 

The link again is:

Side view of sandals 

Bottom view of sandals. 

The person who made the sandals glued them 

to Barbie's feet.  Have to try and remove them. 

If you know how to crochet, these sandals look 

easy enough to make.

Question: Does anyone crochet?  I was wondering if I could 

hand wash the clothes and dry them flat.  The woman used crochet thread to make 

the clothes. 

Hopefully will work on the video this weekend to show the other 

outfits and dolls I bought today.

Need hints on how to rebody a doll

Now that I have deboxed a doll, I am going 

to need some hints on how to rebody. 

Am a little apprehensive about trying it. 

Worry that I may break the neck post. 

So I am asking for hints on the best way

to rebody. 

I have this doll.  She is articulated but nothing special.

Barbie Cheerleader 

I finally found a doll today at the Thrift Store that 

would look better with an articulated body. 

She was found nude so I gave her one 

of the ladies robes for the picture. 

She is a good match for the articulated body

My main question is how do I get off the heads 

without breaking the posts.

And are they easy to get back on the new bodies?

Do you think I can do this? 

Will post pictures when the operation is done.
