I'm thrilled with what Doll Crafter and Costuming did with my step-by-step article on altering a porcelain doll. They make me look good, LOL. This is pretty exciting for me. I've been on pins-and-needles waiting for this to come out. This little clock would make an awesome present for a little gir's room or even your own sewing studio. It's really easy to make - and there are five pages of directions and photos! If you make one please take a photo and send it to me. I'd love to see it!
Here's my own photo of the doll .. before and after ....
