I just love this very
primitive Annie doll with the chocolate bunny. How Sweet! |

Know someone who just had a baby? Once your
doll body is made, stitch up a cute outfit in either baby girl or baby boy
colors and add a pillow with a saying. To make it more personal add the
baby's name and date on it. |

This nurse doll was made
coping a ladies re-enactment nurse dress from just after the civil war. |
|
For my winter snow girl
dolls, I used fabrics like fleece, ultra suede, and corduroy for their
dresses. |
|
What a sweet grand-daughter
Emily is. She made this adorable nurse doll for her grand-mother who is a
nurse. |

Autumn is my favorite time
to make crafts. With my "Mrs. Scarecrow" dolls I stuffed raffia up the
sleeves and pant legs and then tied jute rope around to hold both the
garment and raffia in place. |
|
"Mr. Snowman" can sit many ways. I made him
with long legs and arms so that he could sit and pose. I made his
winter had extra long and added a big rusty bell to the end. |

Early cloth doll
bodies were homemade with scraps of fabric. Nothing was thrown out
or wasted back then. Most were constructed with a front and a back
including legs. The arms were attached separately. One piece body dolls
were produced commercially in the early 1800's in many European countries.
By 1840 muslin bodies were being made that could sit. Click here for more
history of the muslin doll. |

Here's a cute prim handmade
Annie rag doll next to a giant chocolate bunny. Just in time for Easter! |
|
With this adorable snowman doll I just hot
glued pre-made skies and poles onto him, and added some fake snow. He was
one of my best sellers during the winter craft season. |
