I’ve been working my hardest to keep moving and not think too much on the last few weeks….or months. I think I’m back to my normal pain level which is manageable for the most part. This lets me get back to doll making and painting and such.
I also tried again to use the stick pins. I can sometimes but other times I can’t. One thing I started doing was keeping count of how many I used. I write the number down on scrap material then sew the numbered scraps together like a tiny little quilt. I thought it would be kind of a cool thing to frame after it gets larger. Anyway….
The doll pictured here is called Mia. She’s 26 inches tall, she sits up on her own and her head stands up on its own. This hand sewn rag doll is wearing a black and white checkered dress with black heart pockets and decorative buttons. Her white blouse has small white bows on the shoulders. To finish off her outfit she’s wearing white stockings and black patent leather shoes. What I like most about Mia is her little curly afro which has itsy-bitsy tiny little specks of silver glitter sewn right into the yarn. When I saw it I knew it would be great for hair. I have to say I like her little fro. So here she is, Mia from the Charline Doll Collection.
