My new fairies

 I wanted to make a fairy that would would be tiny and lend itself to making a Fairy Hut. I had to make the fairy first. I used a Dinky Doll pattern and cut it down and dressed her with ruffles and rickrack.

 I wanted a tinier fairy so cut the pattern down a little more. Its hard to embroider eyes on such little dolls. These figures stand about 5 " tall. Now to design the Fairy Hut.

Professional Tote

 I bought this fabric over 1 year ago and never made anything with it. I loved it but needed the perfect project. Here it is...love it!

Winner receives the doll!

 I got a wonderful short email from the winner receiving the Down's Doll. Here is what it said:

Joyce,

Down's Doll goes to winner

I donated my Down's Doll to a woman who was raising money to adopt her second child with Down's syndrome. She had a raffle and the winner was also an adoptive parent of a child with Down's Syndrome. She was so excited to win her. I mailed her off Friday and hope to hear she has arrived at her new home safe and sound.

Susan teaches Chinese to many different cultured young teens. She asked me to make her a couple of dolls for her class. They are off to school to help teach the kids a  new language.

Newest Adopted doll

Ari wants a doll just like her. She got to pick out her dolls skin color, hair and outfit. Then using a picture of her, her doll was made.

She named her Razellda Edo and adopted her on January 9th of 2012. She told me she was going to give her to her little girl one day. Complete with pamper and pacifier and glasses, she was off with her new Mommy.

A tisket a tasket a real life baby basket!

 Here is a toddler doll I made that is 24" long. I figured he needed a bed to sleep in, so I found these straw baskets. I then customized the liner and flannel mattress.

 You can see the mattress is made from a contrasting flannel material and stuffed and tufted. The straw handles are covered and attached with Velcro so they can be removed and washed.

The Basket is 30" long and big enough for a real newborn.
