The Fairy Bag Holder is done!
Okay, so she's not a fairy .. and the body parts aren't the ones from the pattern .. and I didn't give her a hat .. but .. but .. but .. the concept is there! I am really happy about how she came out - she's pretty and bright and colorful and i keep looking at her up on the wall! Not sure if I'm just not used to having a doll in the kitchen or the placement is just wrong. I'll figure it out in time I guess. I think these will make awesome presents. The pattern actually has simple mitten hands so making them will go fast. That is as long as I don't spend hours on the face, as I'm liable to do! But that's one of the best parts of doll making! I really wanted to go trim crazy on this doll, kind of like Arley Berryhill describes in his column in Doll Crafter but I found that I really don't have that great a collection of trims! I guess I need to start looking at the Goodwill stores to see what kind of trim I can salvage - as new stuff is way too expensive! Anyhow, I'm rambling now ...oh, the pattern is from Sherry Goshon and available at Doll Street for only $5 ...
She is too pretty to be a BAG LADY!
Too, too cute !
Do you have any dolls you would like to show at the Fiber Festival in March, in Anchorage? I would really like to get some Alaskan dolls in the show this time! I'll be going to Delta Junction the 12th & 13th of March!

her face is lovely... I like that part of dolls the best too...
