New Dolls


I admire those ladies who make dolls while caring for a bunch of little children. How do they do it??? There is no way I can do any serious amount of sewing during the day and caring for my brood, making the meals and keeping house just about wipes me out by the evening.

My children are like little birds, they wake with the sun and go to sleep with the sun and no amount of ritual has managed make them take naps.

Anyways, I did actually finish one doll - well, almost, except she has no shirt, but I guess it is ok in this summer heat. I've been very anxious to list some more dolls in my etsy shop
but guess what - my little Gopi decided to adopt this one. Awww..... it is the first dolly that I've ever made that she cared for, including the first one that I ever made that I made especially for her, so I let her keep it. She named her Hooti Baby.

A mother's heart, and these little ones know just so well how to melt it. <3

That doll is adorable. Isn't it nice when your own kids appreciate what you make? When mine were little I couldn't ever get much done.

I understand why your daughter choose to keep this doll. She's very cute. :0)
