Goldilocks and the 3 Dolls
Goldilocks is back in town. She was walking through the Forest of New Ideas when she came upon a doll maker. The doll maker lived in a lovely little gingerbread house and she invited Goldy in. She said she had to make a doll to teach to brand new doll-makers, so she thought she would make a stump doll. The first doll was just two pattern pieces and was toooo skinny, so the doll maker added more pieces. The second doll was toooo fat. Goldy thought she might be an opera singer. The doll maker cackled and told Goldy that their arms came from the boneyard and Goldy became afraid.
 |  |
But Goldy wanted a doll so she waited around. After a while a third doll appeared, and this doll was just right. Except it was pretty plain. Goldy wasn't too thrilled about that. She figured she'd better hang out for a few days and see what happens with it. She even offered to cook some porridge for dinner but the doll maker said something about having a Hansel, whatever that is.

You just can't stop there! The story is compulsive and the doll lovely. I can't wait to see how she (and the story) turn out.
Posted by: AnnNS at April 24, 2007 11:27 PMWoohoo she is turning out great, don't stop now! Love the body shape and the bottom is perfect!
Posted by: kerry s. at April 25, 2007 12:41 AMI actually like all three of them! This will be a fabulous "beginner" doll. You'll have your students feeling so accomplished! Just love the way the bottoms are formed...especially that one pointy one! LOL.
Posted by: Sue K at April 25, 2007 2:46 AMOh yes, you must make this a pattern, and you MUST include the Goldy story.....now we all want to hear (and see) MORE! LOL! I love her!
Posted by: MaryO at April 25, 2007 5:09 AMOh My, Love them all three and the story. Can't wait to see how they finish.
Posted by: Sandra Walker at April 25, 2007 5:47 AMLove the story and the doll. I look forward to seeing her progress.
Posted by: Gerry at April 25, 2007 6:15 AMWell trust you to come up with something as lovely as this. Glad to know your muse is back in full swing. Love the dolls. I would take all and run if I were Goldilocks and not hang around. They are too beautiful to be left around.
Posted by: Shashi at April 25, 2007 6:31 AMROFL!!! You are so funny! I look forward to the next installment of Goldie's tale.

LOL, loved the story AND ALL THREE dolls. You might consider offering them as a set... "The Three Graces" or "The Three Fates" or something. They are wonderful!
Posted by: JudiA at April 25, 2007 8:33 AMWhat a great imagination you have...both for the story and the doll. She is not your average stump doll...your students will love her and their confidence levels will soar when they finish her.
