Goodfellow Dolls (Detroit Goodfellow Doll Program)
Special thank you to those who purchased patterns on Etsy. I even noticed that many of you did not download the pattern, which emphasizes that you simply desired to make a donation to this event!
We Appreciate You!
The dolls are dressed and have been delivered to the shipping/receiving (Detroit Warehouse) for processing, packaging, and forwarding to a very special child this holiday!
This year we dressed 10. Next year, we hope to double that quantity!

A Queen Flies Away...
I had a list of things to do today, with most scheduled outside of the home. Even the rain was not going to stop my progress, because I detest busying about my town on Friday. But then I received the news, that the Queen of Soul, Detroit's own Aretha Franklin, had made her spiritual transition.
I could not get it together to get moving after being awake since 4:30 a.m. so around the time I heard the news of her passing, I called the day as well as over, at least for outside tasks.
Instead, worked on the Goodfellow Doll Program donation dolls and listened to her effortless voice belt out through YouTube videos, Rhapsody, and Pluto music stations. She has so many and these gifts she leaves behind could comfort us for days without repeating a single one.
God had a plan for little Aretha and nothing stood in His way of delivering her to us. I know I will cherish her as always. Her triumphs over adversity are truly a teaching moment to us all. She stated that music was her thing. As many artists dedicate their entire life to their craft, I am certain to be inspired by her to hopefully leave a legacy worth mentioning when I am gone.
Thank you Aretha! Thank you God! and My condolences to her family and close friends.

The Jewelry Collection
Jewelry is an accessory and no outfit is really complete without a few accessories. Here at Beauty of Creating, we aim to make your dollightful experience to be a 'one-stop' boutique.
There is nothing more frustrating than running around trying to coordinate the perfect outfit, with the perfect shoes, hair bows, purse, and of course your jewelry. Though not all ensembles require jewelry, when necessary it is the cornerstone of the entire look! It literally can become the glue that joins a variety colors and textures in ways you never knew could exist.

Brown Sugar & Spice Baseball Tee #30424
On a whim, I thought about designing or re-purposing an existing free clip art. This one I found online, totally free to use. I added some curvy lettering and this was the result!
The design was inspired by the new pattern I designed #30424 JG Raglan Shirt (baseball tee). Since this is the season for baseball, the decision was easy to converge these ideas into one rendering.
I will likely finish this look with a newly designed white sneaker; but the brown chunky sandals that dropped last summer, turned this spring's biggest heavy hitter, would mesh well as an alternate!
If you would like to see a pattern tutorial on this shirt, leave a message below!

how one signature spring-summer outfit
...turned into an entire collection
Nothing goes as planned, very often when it comes to artistry. I learned a long time ago, make plans, but leave a lot of room for inspiration, that often drops in unexpectedly.
Originally I planned an entire bounty for Winter, short of the awesome collection turned out for the Fall, headlined at the 6th Annual Detroit Doll Show. When that was swapped out for the 18th Anniversary Ensemble, I considered punishing myself and only releasing one complete signature design for Spring/Summer and focus the remaining space on shoes.
Then JoAnn Fabric happened...and it does not happen often, but lately this store has been in the zone!!!
I had a bag full of coupons, and along with their sales, I walked out with a haul of solid cottons and floral cottons...and here we go! Another plan backed into the fan blades of spontaneous creativity!
Does this mean the shoes are trashed until next year? Not at all. They will companion this Spring/Summer Collection. So far, it is off to a good start...we have featured: gold, silver, black, white...along with lots of flowers and bare shoulders, just to summarize.

Barber Shop Stop & Rafael's Unboxing/Review
I did promise to do a review on Rafael, the Our Generation Boy Doll that I recently adopted. As promised that is forthcoming. I noticed that the calendar reads a lot going on in the next few weeks and these boys need a formal introduction in Beauty of Creating Style!
Rafael and MyPal the Patroit "Josh" will add to the pattern collection of Beauty of Creating. Their bodies are not congruent with our Journey Girls and we are okay with that!
The weather is warming, along with Spring's debut, and soon the boys of summer will be kicking off their 2018 season. Look for the boys to join the Tigers on Opening Day!
To get them ready for pattern designs and fittings, we wanted to give them a great start, by nothing other than a visit to the barber chair! The ladies are always getting primped and curled and we did not want the guys to feel unappreciated.
Here is Rafael...
When Rafael delivered he, as I anticipated did not look exactly like the rendering in the ad. His face, thinner, his clothes a little tighter, and his hair quite long.
Let's start there, because his hair was by far the first challenge I wanted to master. Based on previews, Rafael's hair is gelled down and not in a good way. First order of business, wash!
After conditioning and towel drying I was able see how much hair he was actually working with, thus the scissors worked well to reduce much of the bulk and do a preliminary cut and style. His hair would fair better for cutting when dry than wet. He still had far too much hair but after drying it completely overnight, it was to the barber chair for a major trim and clip!
Using two guards, the #2 first and then reduced to the #1, the blades retracted to base. He still wears more on top, but now the shape completely alters his face appearance giving it a fuller look!

| Beauty of Creating introduces Raphael, from the Our Generation Collection (TARGET) |
Taking Rafael's measurements, his waist is an inch larger. Before we can get him dressed in B.O.C. designs we definitely need to draft new patterns that compliment his physique.
Seeing both Rafael and "Josh" it validates to me why we are not fond of the American Girl Dolls, notably the girls. Their shoulders are very broad and masculine, more fitting for boys.
Rafael's packaged ensemble is not bad, but you will likely not see him in it again. His clothes are functional, but quite unflattering. Before I can move to "Josh", Rafael's needs take precedence.
Rafael's torso is completely soft, much like AG dolls. His eyes appear blue-green, though many collectors suggest gray.
We are quite excited for both of our male models and what BOC has in store for them. Look forward to these guys in our Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter Collections 2018!
