blythe love

I know its been ages, why is it if you stop blogging it is so difficult to start again. I guess its the thought of trying to build up friends again because you've left them so long while you went out into the big wide world and did dull things.
I'll just post anyway... I treated myself to a blythe doll, I've been wanting one for years but have never been able to afford one. Anyway seens as my 'going back to work' bonus finishes now, I decided to buy a blythe so I had something to say 'yay well done for managing to keep your job for a year'
I got her from an ebay seller who actually didnt really sell all she was with the picture she took of her. I was apprehensive waiting for her to arrive but when she did she was perfect. In her box with her outfit and everything. I got a real bargain and I <3 Ebay sellers who are more concerned about finding their dolls good homes than how much money they can get for them.
This is the picture that the seller put on...And this is how my girl looks now shes here.I love her. It took me ages to think of a name but then I decided on Anouk after watching 'The slap' and seeing a girl on there called it.
My kids say she is like my new child and she maybe is as mine are getting ready to fly the nest, I feel I need something to cute to look at on a cold evening and make clothes for. I cant knit though, so all knitted items I've got from ebay or etsy.
This is a selection of dresses I made for her.And this is her new outfit (skull hat and jumper) and her friend (right), who belongs to a girl I work with. We had a blythe day at work, it was great fun and I felt about ten again.
