Tiny Christmas Dolls!
Here are some little gift dolls that I just made. This time, I covered the paper clay heads with a nice cotton knit that I got from Susie McMahon. It's good stuff!

December Dolls
The one who is dressed is named Eulalie because I'm reading "Gone with the Wind" and I saw the name in the book. I didn't make the dress. I found it at Goodwill Blue Hanger for a quarter. It seems older. The lace is cotton and the seams are from an older machine. Also, the fabric has an interesting, funky, geometric print. Her pretty little slip is from Edyth O'Neill's booth in an antique mall in Fredericksburg, Texas. The lace is so pretty. I'm going to work on the other doll's clothes this week. I think her dress will be purple calico, but I'm not sure. My task for the week is to learn how to do cartridge pleating on this dress.

My Babyland Rag and New York dolls
Here are my versions of a Babyland Rag doll and New York doll. I found the yo-yo quilt behind rag baby at Goodwill. It was in tatters. I tried to give it new life. The yo-yo's are made from head scarves from the 50's and 6o's. My New York doll is sitting in a old child's chair that I got from an antique store near Bardstown, Ky.
