Whew. So. I've started a Christmas Dolly. I'm making her from a pattern carefully stored in my mind's eye. We'll see if this works. It's a throw back to the dolls I made when I was younger, those didn't have patterns, either, and I think it was pretty evident that I just snipped and sewed. I'm not sure if there are any surviving as evidence, however, knowing my mother, they're all likely wrapped in tissue, carefully placed in her hope chest. I hope they stay that way. Forever. (Please and thank you, Mom.)
Today must be a day of tangents. Back to the work in progress. This dolly will {hopefully} have a few changes of clothes, a blankie, a pillow, and a baby of her own. There should be enough time...will keep you posted as she progresses.

What a sweet momma you are!!
A wonderful idea and your little one will cherish that dolly! When I was little I had one made from a sock and she was so precious to me...way before all the 'bought toys' were around!! ~smile~
Ah Katie, where do you find the time?? We did some small scale homemade Christmas gitfs last year for the grandparents, they really loved them! I think you've inspired me again. :)
