HANDMADE DOLL
This doll I decided to tea stain the calico first for a aged look. The legs and arms are
made with round dowel, two small lengths in each leg and arm. I wanted to try
Candlewicking with this one and did so around the edge and waist of
her dress. Her boots are made of felt with laces tied up.
Handmade Bears
When I made these bears, I made them arm tags which are not pictured. I named
the white bear Bonnie and little brown one Ripley. Their D.O.B tags read
5/98, I even surprised myself on checking their tags. I also knitted their
jumpers and made a necklace and headpiece for Bonnie.

Petrina, How do you find the time to do all the beautiful things
you do? These are so original. I do parchment, embroidery,bead work and lace and fit in the housework when I can! As you might imagine this is not very often.
