Rain Again, Time to Play

Well it's raining again today. Supposed to clear up later. But it sure is cool out.
Now that I have my Silkies in numerical order I can find which doll I want at a glance. Today I redressed a few. The first gal is The Secretary Barbie. I have a couple of these gals, one is the secretary to the mayor of Silkendale and this one in the ski outfit is her sister Lillian.  Beside her is Samantha, she is Trenchsetter Barbie. I crocheted this dress for her yesterday. Next is #3 Silkstone, Sarah. This dress came off a cheapy playline no name doll. I sometimes buy these just for the outfits. They are well worth the money to get a fancy gown. Next is Cynthia, she was the Usherette Barbie but I got my mine nude, off ebay probably. She is wearing a Mattel outfit. You probably can't see the pinstripe in her knickers. Next to her is Francine, she came in yellow and mauve underwear and slip. She was called Toute de Suite. She is wearing a mauve gown that belonged to a Liz Taylor doll that I never got. Next is Laura, who is Happy Go Lightly Barbie. I put this brown gown on her because her shoes and pantyhose were brown (as is her stand) only her gloves were black but they are from her original outfit. Don't think you can see the brooch that holds the scarf, it's attached to the dress. This gown was a Kari Michele outfit. Lastly is Highland Fling Barbie, she is wearing a Kari Michele outfit also. You can see the pants are too short for her as is the sleeves on the jacket. These dolls can't wear most of the Barbie shoes as their feet are too large and hard for the shoes to fit and stay on. I do have footwear for these gals but they have not been unpacked as yet.
Squirty has been under the weather these past two days. Not sure why. She wouldn't eat and just sleeps and her nose is rather warm. But last night she perked up (when Jack got home). She cried during the night so we succumbed and let her in the bedroom with us. She slept at the foot of the bed. I guess there will be no more closed doors in this house! Anyway she is fine now and has a nice cold nose today. Either she was upset that Jack was gone overnight or I was paying too much attention to my dolls. If you recall I took all of them out of the gallery and then put them all back. Then last night I unpacked 4 more boxes in Dolton. So maybe the poor thing thought we were moving again! Anyway glad that she is back to normal and talking to us once again.
Jack has gone out to wander around Home Depot, that's his version of TRU! Plus it gives him a bit of exercise strolling up and down the long aisles. He will bring home some wall brackets so he can put up some more shelving for me in Dolton. Meanwhile it's time to play. Let's see how many boxes I can unpack today!
Stay dry, if it's raining in your neck of the woods.
