I was born in England in 1957 and lived there until our family came to Australia in 1966. I grew up in Adelaide, South Australia, where I met and married my husband, David. We came together over a mutual love of trains. Both of us worked for the railways for many years, his job was with Australian National Railways, while I spent 12 years working for the STA, later TransAdelaide the Adelaide city transit system. After leaving that job I worked in hospitality until 2008. We moved to Tasmania in 2002 to live in the beautiful Huon Valley. In 2015 David became ill and passed away in October of that year. I currently co-write two blogs on WordPress.com with my sister Naomi. Our doll blog "Dolls, Dolls, Dolls", and "Our Other Blog" which is about everything else but with a focus on photographs and places in Tasmania. In November 2019 I began a new life in the house that Naomi and I intend to make our retirement home at Sisters Beach in Tasmania's northwest. Currently we have five pets between us. Naomi's two dogs Toby and Teddy and cats, Tigerwoods and Panther and my cat Polly. My dog Cindy passed away aged 16 in April 2022.

    • They are and that drives us crazy too. So much so that Naomi has pretty much given up buying Mattel outfits and spends her money on whatever nice outfits she can find on eBay. She’s good at mix and match too so she can create outfits out of random pieces.

  3. A warm looking bunch! I adore sweaters/jumpers.. on any all dolls.If I managed to follow patterns better I’d have them for all my Mego dolls with melted arms.Plus I love yarn caps for my bald clones.I am still jonesing/wish-list for Four, but Tris is hanging out w/ my Hunger games and Twilllight dolls.You are making me see how Fabulous they are in winter wear..so I will be scouring my fave sellers for puffed vest or coats/etc..My Littlechaps have a few coats/clone..that get traded around a lot as they fit over clothing.Hoping to take a tonner pattern to try layering. Maybe do soe Hogworts caps or scarves. Even years are clothing years for my dolls..you and Naomi are giving me too many ideas!

    • It is a shame that Mattel has pretty much given up making winter clothing. There never was enough of it. I have two Fashion Fever Closets with knitted sweaters although they are rather short in the waist. I also have a couple of Fashion Avenue jumpers but that’s not a lot. I might knit some myself but I’ll use knitting cotton because wool makes them too bulky. I suppose as Barbie lives in Malibu it doesn’t get cold much.
