The Doll and Her Christmas Dress

I so enjoy her, all cleaned up and with a cute little dress that I made for her. The socks are wrong, but we will have to go shopping, she and I. One of the next projects for her will be a traditional christening gown with french lace insertions and pin tucks...some fancy sewing. And I think some little black patten leather shoes, mary janes are in order, don't you?

Doll Dresses

I use to have a doll when I was a little girl, I don't know what happened to it. My mother made all kinds of clothes for it, I still have the clothes. Well, one day, when John and I were out and about, we stopped at a little junk store in Colfax and sure enough, there was my doll in a heap in a box with dirty clothes on. The store owner was asking $45.00 for this dirty doll. I asked him if he would take $15.00. SOLD! So now that I have my dolly back, I am making little clothes for her. This was my first little dress...my husband John is holding it up for me to humor me. I love him for that. Of course it has matching fancy panties!!!
