Books and Dolls: some of the things my little girl is made of











Trying to think of a gift you are excited to make, give and will be received with enthusiasm can sometimes be tricky. Not for our little girl. It was so much fun to be busy sewing all week (lots of late nights) for her two special dolls. Two very different dollies, a Waldorf doll with purple hair and a Canadian Girl with very fine and defined features. But for sewing needs, their bodies are very similar, making my task even easier.
I made each of them a skirt to match one I made Aria earlier in the summer. They needed a birthday crown for their own birthdays and for attending the birthday festivities. For each of them a set of pj's, a fancy party dress, two skirts, a top, a jacket and a sundress.
Dadda made a whole stack of books for her to fill. Classic books, tiny ones, accordion style, flip books, scrolls, with a new set of markers for creating.
She loved them all. She cherishes that we made them for her.
