Hello (again) Dolly!


Ah, the dollies...

My bags of leftover yarns from various projects, by no means, ever go to waste. Yes, I've made quite a few of these little toys over the years. Girls in yellow dresses with blue satin sashes. Boys in overalls with golden eyelashes. You get the picture. These dolls aren't so much for children, as they are my children! And each has its own personality--just like my own two kids!

Hanging out at the Los Laureles Lodge Christmas Fair.


The dollies are made here and there all year-long, but I really put pedal to metal (or needle to yarn) around July. My hands are kept busy preparing for Los Laureles Lodge Christmas Fair in early December. My table, a staple for the past six years or so, just has to be stocked--with lots of dollies, among other things--because there are good homes waiting!
