Cloth doll giveaway .

I was so pleased when I reached 100 lovely followers.I had no idea it could happen .I love writing
and have been motivated to keep on being creative by the kind comments I have received and from seeing so many brilliant blogs.
I have never been  very confidante about the things I love to make but have been a compulsive maker since childhood.Since writing this blog I understand that for me its the making and kind comments have given me so much more confidence. Now I even run a workshop here in the village and tonight all our effors will be on show in an exibition in the school hall.So I am going to give away the cloth doll you see in the photograph,please leave a comment and I will give them a  number  as they come.Tony has already placed a number in an envelope and I will open it on tuesday the 7th of august and let the winner know. I forgot to say she is about 28inches tall.

The other day I promised myself I would put some shoes on my latest cloth doll,and I have at last.
I have spent two days   playing around with this .I first printed onto cloth a painting I did several weeks ago and then drew some little faces(something I love to do) and made the body in a similar shape to the comfort dolls I have made in the past .I stiched around te flowers added a few beads and thenassembled it. The bit that went wrong was the border,my machine didn't like the thickness so a leson learnt.I have begun another but she must wait for another day.

  3. Your dolls are fabulous! I think #3 is the lucky number! ;) When you speak of the village it sounds so romantic, like something I would only read about in a book.

  10. What wonderfully sweet dolls! They make my heart sing! My sis and I always wanted to make dolls and alas have no ability to do so! Thanks sor stopping by our blog. I love that shoes are the last to go on the dolls! It seems only natural though as it is the last part of our wardrobe that we don too!!!

  17. I can't believe how beautiful your dolls are. I love the one with the green dress and the colored hair. I have my little purple doll sitting right on my counter where I can see her every day. I love her so much, and am thankful for her every day. Do you know how talented you are? Keep on making your dolls please. They bring joy to all of us.
