Satti joins the crew (More pix Sept 29)

[Alliecat]

She's been sitting on the old couch looking reproachfully at me for days.



But after having been away for 10 days I was kinda slammed with post-trip sortitalloutandstowit, extra gardening, news deadline, other job hours, and I still haven't caught up with everything. But it's been so nice out, I finally took some pictures.
I won Satti at PUDDLE. She's the first full-size Dal to join the crew.
Of course we went to the beach, which is kind of the introductory photo shoot for most of the new arrivals.


She immediately seems comfortable here...



...and wanted to elore...






She was hoping for a friend but it was a shed empty shell.



"Hello?"









After some wardrobe eerimentation, more pix out back.



Thanks to Dawn for helping win a Dal-size outfit for "dress like your doll"



"Where am I???"



This is really small, but it mostly works, and it's cute on her.



Attitude!



I love this on her. But it needs a lot of work. It's way too big & all clipped together in the back. I'm not sure what to cut out or tack.

The minis weren't quite sure what to make of this development...


"Is she staying?"
"I dunno, she's got luggage..."
"Did anyone ask Sunsette?"



New sisters!
Things worked out.

I don't usually have the eerience where I feel a doll is "telling me what her name is" as some say they do. I was just going to call her Satti, because that's not too weird, but late last night I decided I could hear her insisting that her name is Samantha. It seems very clear.
So, OK... Samantha Satti it is.

A huge thank-you to the PUDDLE judges, wherever they may be, and thanks for looking!
