What a Waste

Of a week! I had full intentions of taking some fabulous photos of my latest arrivals, but unfortunately when they arrived I was feeling so ill I simply couldn't be bothered. I didn't even unwrap them until yesterday, yes, fancy me allowing three days to pass before doing so! Although I am feeling so much better, I still haven't gotten round to taking photos, but I am going to chat to you about them anyway.

Anais is just as I expected, and with such a beautiful head of hair, it's so voluptuous one could quite easily become lost amongst all those soft rolls of curls. Elois' hair is a little coarse, but in a nicely cut boy style. Both faces are typically Minouche, tender and innocent. They both have blue eyes with the distinctive qualities that only Sylvia Natterer dolls have.

Shoes are nice quality, but the rest of the clothes are somewhat ho-hum, though I did like Anais' undergarment bodysuit. I was thinking I would make new clothes for them both, but Elois' cargo pants not having Velcro, were quite acceptable, so I am keeping them and am going to knit him a nice jumper and hat.

Then while browsing Janette's Doll Studio last night I found this darling little outfit ~

And then again this morning ~ (both modelled by Paola Reina dolls, but they should also fit Minouche dolls quite well).

Now why would I bother to make something right now, when Janette has the perfect solution for both Anais and Suzanne (my older Minouche) with a push or two on my keyboard?? Needless to say, they both ended up in my cart.

So the week I initially thought was a waste, finishes on a more positive note. How was yours?
