So adorable! What a great idea! By the way, what is her hair made from? It looks fantastic :)
P.S. I love how when she is dressed up she has eyelashes and when she is busy "cleaning the fireplace" she doesn't. Ha! ha! Obviously fairy godmother gave her some mascara. :)
We had one of these, for about a minute, as kids - ours was made of fabric. This girly is a peach.
Mrs. Goldfish, since I started reading your blog, what, 36 hours ago? I have made two (2) one-hour scarves, purchased a beautiful woolen sweater at the local Goodwill, and am listening to my dryer beat the snot out of it as I write.
Your theory about the any-three-yarns has held true! I know this is a long comment but I had to tell you. I've put up pics on my blog (www.zabigdog.blogspot.com).
Just stunning! She is so beautiful. I love her to bits and now I am completely jealous. Little Miss Four is going to be one very delighted girl tomorrow. :-)
One word: amazing! Your daughter is one lucky little girl.
I've been reading your blog for quite some time (intrigued by your bags and recycling) and am constantly in awe of your creativity. Always great pics and tuts. And you have the ability to combine colors and textures in ways that make your pieces so visually appealing.
Have a great Holiday! Look forward to more of your wonderful creations in 2009.
What a beautiful doll, I saw it on Ravelry, but I wanted to tell you how delightful it is here. I wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your blog. It inspires me and makes life fun. Thank you so much.
That's an adorable doll. Jean Greenhowe's patterns are lovely. I have a few of her patterns circa 1988 (including an adorable scarecrow) that I have not dared to attempt because I afraid with my knitting skill, my version will not be as nice and adorable! Merry Christmas!
I'm new to your blog, but I really enjoy all of your designs... I especially liked the stuffed animal with all the arms and legs! I just wanted to let you know that I read and enjoy.
Wishing you and your family a Very Merry Christmas. May your day be filled with family, laughter and love!
Well done! I think I will take your tip and make some variations to my collection. I have loads of beads that are used in beading to decorate dresses (the really tiny sort) that I can use, say in the middle of flowers or earrings, or on a fan....
:O I had this doll as a kid! my mom made one blonde version for my sister and a blackette version for me! I wonder if she still has the pattern, because I'd love to challenge myself to make a crochet version! I played with that doll for hours <3 Thanks for the flood of childhood memories.
i love love love this!!!! I wish I knew how to knit.. i'd make one of my toddler.. ahh well, maybe someday haha
