Sierra's Turn

I haven't been giving Sierra the attention she needs of late. She's been lonely and neglected, so I got her a new outfit, and when I took the Star Trek pics, I took pics of her too.

Sierra loves purple. I found this adorable purple suit outfit on Etsy in the LynneCraft shop.



She has purple sneakers too. I had to try the purple wig, of course.



I don't really like it that much on Sierra, but I love how it looks on Amber.



I switched to Sierra's brown wig. It's my favorite on her.



Such a sweet face!



And finally, a group shot. Everybody is great friends.



Sierra feels much better now.

Live long and prosper. \\//

Sierra in Perla Rosa

I hope you don't mind another doll post. I got a new dress for Sierra.



It's the Iplehouse Perla Rosa dress.  I purchased it from a fellow member of the Iplehouse Facebook group.



It comes with a pretty little necklace.



Sierra met Mr. Froggy, who keeps guard at the front door.



She doesn't know what to think of him.



Have a good Saturday.

Live long and prosper. \\//

It's All About Shoes

Today's post is probably going to be boring to most readers. I'm writing it for a specific audience. That audience is those who own or plan to own an Iplehouse JID doll and they're searching for shoes that will fit her.

I have been doing a LOT of research on finding shoes for Sierra. They weren't easy to find. Of course, one can order shoes from Iplehouse that will fit her perfectly. I did, and received 2 pairs of shoes for her high heel feet. I got these really cute satin pumps



and some boots to go with that first outfit. They fit beautifully. No clodhopper feet with these.



But the prices are a little steep and the shipping was way too much. It was $28! I realize they're coming from Korea, but still, 28 bucks! So that's when I got really serious about finding more reasonably priced shoes for her. After much googling, I found a recommendation on a doll forum that said shoes that fit the 14 inch Kish dolls fit the JID flat feet well, and a link to an Ebay store named Deb's Adorables that sells them. The prices are very reasonable so I ordered a few pair hoping the quality and fit would be as described. It was hard to choose what to order because the selection is HUGE!

They fit Sierra's flat feet perfectly!



It's like they were made for JID girls.



They are well made. Look how perfect her feet fit in these sandals.



And these sneakers are absolutely adorable!



The sneakers come in several different  colors. I chose purple because, well, purple!

I bought 7 pairs in all and I'm very very happy with every single pair.



Deb's Adorables shipped the shoes quickly, and they were well packed.

I have not yet found a source for shoes that will fit her high heel feet. If you should know of one, please leave that information in the comments.

Weather news. They keep saying it's going to snow but so far it hasn't happened. It was cloudy and rained off and on yesterday, and the wind was bitingly cold, but no snow. Today we're expecting more rain. It's very dark out right now. The clouds are thick and threatening. Rain and wind predicted for the next 5 days.

Planning to sew this afternoon. Gotta get those outfits done! I've got one mohair sweater finished, and have started a second one.

Live long and prosper. \\//
