So sorry I have not been sharing my mini stuff with you lately. So much has been going on in the RL...nothing bad thank God! Still I have been doing a little mini-ing here and there and planned to do a good post next week and then this happened today!
Some of you may remember this doll that was found buried in my backyard. The last month has been extremely busy for me so I didn’t bother with her anymore. I2 Create’s and Georgia Girl’s remarks made me think maybe I should clean her up, dress her, maybe give her a little hair, lots of love and see what she looked like. In the meantime she has been on the ground where she was rained on (thought it would help clean her), and had plenty of sun.
Last night I happened to run across a wig that looked like it would fit her so I thought I would give her some attention and fix her up today. This is how she looked this morning. Her eyes are completely changed and her face looks very different. Doesn’t her mouth look way less pouty? Do you think the elements, first being buried in dirt then the weather changed her looks?
Yep, she is the same doll!
Exactly what do you think is going on here?
Could someone be playing a joke on me?

By the way, I am a believer of the Lord Jesus Christ and I fear no evil which is why I have not gotten spooked by her. No weapon formed against me can prosper.(Isa 54:17) However, I do think this is extremely odd.
Yet, I still feel I should not throw her in the garbage and I don’t want to thrift her for someone else to buy her not knowing this strangeness about her.

She looks nicer, but this is a bit spooky. perhaps her lips are more red because the rain washed out the dirt, but I can't imagine how her lips have become less pouty......maybe with some love she will get "normal".....
ReplyDeleteHi ya Billa!
DeleteYou know I was shocked when I picked her up. It was the eyes that I thought was most peculiar in the beginning. But for some reason I really like this little lady.
Grandmommy,
ReplyDeleteYep - That's strange!! She looks like a different doll. Because your a believer, Just take authority in Jesus name! :-)

sugar, spice and whatever's nice
Hi Teresa!
DeleteYou know she really looks different. I am not sure why. But, that is only part of the mystery. Why and how did she get there in the first place? I have worked in that area of the garden before.
I think she is lovely - what beautiful eyes. She looks happier and is getting her glow back. Perhaps moisture has brought out the pigments in the paint or something as well as washed away the dirt. Lets face it we don't know just how long it has been since she has seen daylight. I wonder what her story is - why was she buried and when. An intriguing doll. I am glad you have given her a bit of TLC.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is interesting. I live in a bit of a strange community so it makes me wonder. lol She is pretty. Lets see how she ends up. :-)
DeleteAnd just as the Son cleanses us from all of the dirt in our lives, it appears that the sun has been cleansing your doll also, grandmommy!:))
ReplyDeleteSo now give this lil gal some HAIR! :D
elizabeth
Ohhhh Elizabeth!
DeleteI love your analogy! I think she is going to end up with more than some hair...keep watching (wink) lol
Wow, that is creepy. Maybe the material the "Garden doll" is made of was holding moisture and it finally dried out. This could be the reason for the doll's face shrinking back into place. I have to agree with the other commenter...she does look much happier. (edited)
ReplyDeleteMini Confessions hello!
DeleteI thought that too, but she was in a thunder storm a few days ago so I know she must have gotten soaked. I think it is odd that the sun did not fade her lips. Also, would she have gotten that much moisture being buried?
I know some people were spooked by her when I first posted about her and I wanted them not to be scared. Hope they didn't get freaked out by all of this.
She is going to be ok...We have bonded now! :-)
Well, whatever happened, she's lovely now, so maybe she just needed some time to breathe!
ReplyDeleteHi Jsarie,
DeleteI think you just might be right! :-)
Привет!
ReplyDeleteОчень красивая кукла! Вы подарите ей немного любви, покупаете ее, оденете! Все будет хорошо! Она будет вас радовать!
Татьяна
Привет Там!
DeleteЯ согласен Татьяна! Я думаю, это один из самых красивых кукол в моей коллекции! Спасибо!
Congratulations on having a lovely doll.
ReplyDeleteHi D7ana!
DeleteThanks....smiling at you...You simply see the beauty in this sweetie pie. I have a sneaky suspicion you may see that in people as well. :-)
Wow, she has a strikingly lovely face now that she's a bit cleaner.
ReplyDeleteI gave her a thorough washing and tried on some wigs. You wouldn't believe just how beautiful she really is! I will share when she is all put together.
ReplyDeleteAh! I can't wait to see!
DeleteWhat a miraculous change! It's like she's transforming because she has been found.
ReplyDeleteHi Muff!
DeleteShe is looking better and better. Probably because that is how she has been feeling!
I see... the doll mystery is going on... ;O) I'm really curious what more... hmmm... let's say surprises this doll has in store!

P.S.: So far nothing from the book front... nothing in the mail and not even a response from Camille although I've written her the same day. But don't worry... and who knows... maybe you're having a doll mystery and I am experiencing a mail mystery with a happy ending... ;O)
BiWuBar Hi!
DeleteShe is feeling so much better! And looking that way too!
I emailed Camille, but have heard from her yet. Hopefully, the book will be on its way to you if it isn't already.
Clean-up and a different camera angle certainly give that gal a nicer look!
ReplyDeleteHey there Smaller Places!
DeleteYes, she is cleaner. The pictures were true to life regardless of the angle. Her eyes have definitely changed.
Maybe the rubber was affected and swollen from her burial conditions. I would only worry if you set her down somewhere and then something about her moves or changes again. She's probably just doing better out of the dirt.
ReplyDeleteHi Janaiah Frye!
DeleteWelcome! I can't tell if she was swollen from the soil. Yet, she has been rained on quite a bit too!
I have been keeping my eyes on her...believe me! LOL
I love her face, I think she is beautiful. Maybe she is just glad to be above ground and feels loved. I hope...
ReplyDeleteHey there Jocelyn!
DeleteGood to see you! She is even prettier now. Funny you should say that because I really like her! She seems to have character or something about her!
Hello from Spain, you are doing a fabulous job with this lovely doll. We keep in touch
ReplyDeleteHello Marta!
DeleteThanks! She is a lot prettier than I thought she would be!
See you soon on your blog!
She is a cute doll. I remember that post, lol. She going to end up being a cutie when you get done with her.
ReplyDeleteHi there Brini!
DeleteYes, she is a cutie. You remember the other two you named? Faith and Hope? She is going to join them after her make-over!
She does look sweet; her face has personality. Can't wait to see what she looks like after the next phase of her make-over.
ReplyDeleteHi Barb TEG!
ReplyDeleteYes, she does. I have looked at a few outfits but I want to make her something myself.
Hello grandmommy,
ReplyDeleteAHA! I was wondering what all this was about buried dolls in your newest post. What fun and what a great find. You have really transformed her. So you have made a doll come back from the grave...this might be your shot at getting into the bible ;)
Big hug,
Giac

Hi Giac!
ReplyDeleteGreat to see you! So you think I should change from The Grandmommy to Saint Grandmommy? Ahahaha Major hugs back to you!
