Jenny the Japanese doll / ジェニーちゃん人形

Jenny　ジェニー

There are similar products both in Japan and US. Barbie doll like Japanese doll, Jenny, is one of them.  When I was little, I would play with Jenny dolls with my friends. There is another doll named, Rika, but I would prefer Jenny because she has more matured face. After school, I would go get my own Jenny doll and visit my friend's house. Craft minded friend's mom would sew dresses for Jenny and give them to us. I may still have Jenny in an attic at my parents' house. 


Current Jenny looks different in both face and fashion to reflect the current trend＾＾




日本でもアメリカでも、お互いに似た様な商品がよくあります。
バービー人形みたいな、ジェニーちゃんもその一つ。


昔よく遊びました。りかちゃん人形よりも、ジェニーちゃんの方が大人っぽい顔をしているので好きでした。学校から帰ってきたら、自分のジェニーちゃんを持参して、近所の友達の家によく遊びに行ってジェニーちゃんごっこをしたものです。洋裁の得意な友達のお母さんは、ジェニーちゃんのドレスまで作ってくれました。まだ実家の屋根裏部屋にあるかな・・・。


今のジェニーちゃんは、顔もファッションもやっぱり違いますね＾＾

Happy Halloween...

There is going to be a Halloween event at work. We will have a costume contest and a jack-o-lantern contest. My group is participating in the jack-o-lantern contest. We got a pumpkin and curved it this afternoon. Our pumpkin was small and the design was simple so we completed the work in one hour. It was really fun and on the way home, I was already thinking of getting another pumpkin and curve another one at home. For this pumpkin, I decided to do a design of a witchy cat with sparkling stars...meow...
