Here come the girls...



Do you remember this shabby gang that I rescued last year 
and promised to 'jzuz' up? 


This one kept nagging me...


she wanted to catch the spring fashion show 
at our next vintage market and demanded polka dots...


and a hat (to cover the bald patch).


The others started to whinge...


so I had to keep 'jzuzzing'.




 This one needed a transplant.


I found these 'delightful' earrings in my daughters junk,
 I knew they would come in handy one day.


They didn't seem to mine...(no body to care?)


Here they all are fully 'jzuzzed' and ready for market...


I wish big girl dresses were this easy to sew.

You may notice this poor soul  missed out...


she needs new elastic hips so can't go to market this time...
a bit like me!
I wish big girl hips would mend with elastic.

We decided to have a farewell party just in case some find new homes...


We had more fun than I'm prepared to admit.



some really let their hair down...


and some had too much dizzy water!


I hate saying 'goodbye'.

Crafty ways make wild parties.

PS: How do you spell 'jzuz'?

  2. Hi Eco Ethel! Thanks for commenting on my button buddy dolls. I used to have a doll like the ones above. You have done a great job in zhuhzing? them up! I love it when old objects are given a new lease of life.

  3. EE did you base their characters on anyone you know?
    I think I have a friend like that young lady in her pinkies!
    The last one should not be sooo pretty she should wear the skulls as jewelry and have tattoos on each arm?

  6. The ladies are looking great, and I wish dud joints could be repaired with a bit of elastic.

  7. Oh I love them all E.E. hard to pick my favourite :-) You have done an amazing job on their transformation. I love their little farewell party they had ... did you give them vodka perhaps ??? Kicking up their heels like that. Also pleased to see you have given them little panties to keep their nether regions warm :-) Julie x0x
