Snuggle Babies Nursery Reborns

What to do when you get your kit.  These are my first steps in quality control for my reborn babies.

Shekeia Kaandra was born tonight!

Shekeia Kaandra was born tonight at 10:30 PM on October 29, 2017!

She is super tiny and premie sized at 16" so I will be hunting for an outfit for her to go home in!

I hope you love her as much as I do.  This is not her permanent outfit because she is sooo tiny I have to hunt for clothes that will fit her!

Just working on some fun memes!  Feel free to share with my link and make sure to send me yours!  I also put a link on my navigation bar to doll sayings.

Eyelashes for Neveah Serenity (and other things)

Neveah is a Bountiful Baby doll kit, she is going to be 19" approximately and she was made by Denise Pratt.  I have put 20mm Pabol Acrylic eyes in her and glued her eye flaps closed as you can see below.

Neveah Serenity got her glossing, eyelashes, bow magnets, pacifier magnets and more.

Magnets inside her head drying.

Excuse her mussy hair right now, it will be styled later.  I realize her hair looks like corn beef and hash right now, but it is mohair, once I spray it with some conditioner and style it, it will look gorgeous!

This magnet is actually two magnets stuck together and glued into her head.  I have magnets on top of her head to hold them in place until they dry.  Then her new mommy can stick bows with metal clips on her head.  She will also have enough hair that you can just clip magnets in or put a tiny pony tail on top.

Here I have glued her eyes shut with her pabol eyes in and then I also glued in a set of magnets for her pacifier.  The original magnets were small and not strong enough so I added a second one and they are drying.  I keep the pacifier on her lips so the magnets will stay in place while they dry.  Her pacifier has no nipple but a magnet which holds it in place on her face and a small piece of soft cloth keeps her lips from getting scratched.

I have used eyelashes for her from Bountiful Baby.  These are brown eyelashes and I glued them in ever so carefully but they were stubborn and I had to make them behave.  I did end up picking out a few balls of sticky glue with a tiny tweezers.

A day ago I mixed resin and shined her lips, nose cavity and eye lids, under her eyes and bit inside her ears.  I also painted the area in the very center inside a bit pink to mimic the tear duct of a human baby.  Early on I did milk spots around her nose and blotted them a minute after applying them to make them muted.  

Naveah Serenity will be finished very soon!  Perhaps even tomorrow I can finish her up and put her body on her.  Yay!  She is so stinking cute!  I can't wait to get her in her onesie!  I am gonna have to go dress shopping for her!  Neveah wears size newborn or 0-3 months clothing and when she is complete I will be dressing her up with a diaper, and full baby wardrobe.

Blushing on Nevaeh Serenity * Update *

Hi friends,

Ok so I am supposed to be doing my homework but guess what.  I could not focus last night nor could I this morning.  All I can think about is wanting to paint, blush, and detail my babies.  Oh, and hanging out with my family, my son, my daughter and my grandbaby.  I am enjoying it so much.  So I was really focused this morning and did not want to write my 4 papers due by Sunday so I spent a little time working on Nevaeh Serenity's blushing.  So in between dealing with my 4-year-old grandchild, and making food, taking care of my Maltese dogs, etc, I got a little time in to blush.  Don't worry I alway wash my hands, in fact, I am a bit of a germaphobe and Maltese are allergy friendly because I have the worst allergies in the world.  So I wash very well and mostly my husband and son take care of my pups.  They are kennelled while inside anyway or else they would have probably torn up my reborn dolls already.  So I have to make this quick.  I just wanted to share with you my blushing on Nevaeh Serenity that I did.  I am really proud and I have to say I might do just a tad more on her elbows, knees, cheeks, and pads of hands and feet but overall she looks beautiful.  She is not baked yet but afterwards the blushing should be a bit more subtle.  Then I will do more of a focused blushing on sweet little cheeks, knees, elbows and touch up work.

Excuse the soft towel beneath her it's to catch any paint so I can wash it out.  It is dry so none of that will end up on the baby.  So far I have done quite a few layers of paint on her, probably about 10 different layers of the genesis heat set paint.

I am feeling very proud as I think she looks extremely good.  I hope you like her.  I am trying to really focus on a very newborn look for this reborn doll.  She is Nevaeh from Bountiful Baby.  Nevaeh is sculpted by Denise Pratt.  She is really a gorgeous little baby.  I am gonna call her Nevaeh Serenity.  I am making great progress and I hope you like her too!

I gotta get on my homework, so have fun and visit me soon!

Love to all,

Kimberly Stevens
