First Make-Overs revealed...

I have been performing make-overs for as long as I can remember. I discovered this picture of me at the age of 4 holding my cat Blackie that I had dressed up in doll clothes.


Next was my dog, Lady. She was like my sister and only sibling growing up. She went everywhere with me for 16 years. I only have one picture of her in a hat I had made from newspaper but I can remember many more make-overs with her as my model.


As an adult I got Konika Snow and continued the make-overs. Notice a pattern here?


I grew up in the sixties where all the girls were playing with Barbie. She had it all; a corvette, a dream home, Ken, Skipper and all the clothes and accessories you could imagine. But for some reason I wasn’t crazy about Barbie. If she had it all, what did she need me for?

Trolls on the other hand were another story. They had long, colorful, hair that I envied since my mom always made me get a pixie. Trolls were so ugly they were cute. They mostly came naked, but when they did have clothes they were made of felt and had no style...nothing I would want to be caught alive in. This was the recipe for my work to begin. Trolls needed me…they needed a make-over.

I can remember going through my mother’s sewing kit and finding scraps of fabric, thread and bric-a-brac to design a new wardrobe for my Trolls. I worked intently to design and sew these clothes. Seeing the results of my work, you can see why I didn’t become a fashion designer.

All of this was a sign of what was yet to come. I continue to perform make-overs in my business...both inside and out.
