Unless you've been living under a rock I'm sure you've heard about a little movie called "Frozen". Well this year at the 2015 World Championship Freestyle Reining in Lexington KY it helped Laura Sumrall and Wimpys Top Model earn the winning title. Below is a link to this amazing performance!

Please be sure to watch it! Several of us in the hobby have been inspired by this reining run and have created set ups/dolls to match.

And finally, I've been working on my own version. I'd had the idea since I saw Laura's run for the title but after seeing Tiff's version I felt creative!
Needless to say this took me a while since I'd never worked on a doll before. I decided to re-hair the new version of Brenda. Apparently not even some doll makers will attempt this! But the original doll didn't have long enough hair nor was it the right color.
I started with pants and the skirt first since that seemed the easiest part. I had intended to use fabric for her sleeves but I just could not get it to behave! So I cheated!
I plan on getting some great pictures with her in the snow we just got today/tonight. I'm very excited for my first doll makeover and can't wait to use this set up this coming show season!
