I am NOT the Doll Maker

I either need another lesson in dollmaking or give it up altogether and let Peggy the Master Creator make the Dolls. This is what happens when you cut the fabric the wrong way on the grain..... you get a 20" doll instead of a 16" doll. Jolly Green Giant! Ha!!!! Sewing clothes is looking better and better! Ruth

Well, I think he is as cute as can be I love his long arms and legs! I can't wait to see what he looks like with his clothes on!
Don't give up..... I will write all the instructions down and then I'll come over and we will have another class!
Love you sis.
Our girl Mary Ann says "He's the older brother!" LOL

Linda's cute pinafore!

I shortened the pinafore just a bit to see the bottom of the dress and added trim. Cute outfit Linda!!!

Finished clothes

Here's a few finished clothes.

AAAACCCCCCKKKKKKKK

I know she's got no clothes,,, I know she's got no eyes

(so she can't see she's naked!) LOL

But I just couldn't stand it.... I had to share what Frump looks like during her creation!

I am loving this doll! I am thinking Jill Maas is so my hero!

She is the creator of this doll pattern and I want to be like her when I grow up!

I haven't made any sox for her and I can't finish the detail on her eyes

until after all the purple is gone. So a couple more days before she will

be done. Then I will have the good camera back and

I can take some better shots of her.

she reminds my of Grandma Nyberg! LOL

She was really fun to needle sculpt.

First painted face

this is what she looked like before

this one was taken before I put the color on her cheeks

I rubbed part of the color off after I saw this picture. I thought there was just tooo much.

I am not sure if I am goin to make shoes for her yet.

Just thought you would like to see what she looks like now.

I am not doing anymore to her face - except put the spray fixative on it.
I am going to list her for sale. $75.00 with free shipping to the U.S.
