I finished the doll and then decided to knit her a sweater. Not content, I then embroidered some flowers using silk ribbon on her sweater! The effect was worth it as the embroidery picked up on the flowers of her dress. She may be a sad little girl at times but her granny and mom dress her well. The cubby hole was made by Don Campbell (Cedar Creations on Craigflower Rd in Victoria):
Now she needed her toys surrounding her. I made her a Raggedy Anne, a "waldorf" style doll, a bunny and a cat. I also found two perfectly sized teddy bears to add to the tableau.
I think she will be very happy in her cubbyhole and hopefully her parents will stop fighting!
My blog is designed to share my love and enthusiasm for art dolls with family and friends.
