Therapy Dolls

Handmade therapy dolls, dolls just for fun….and other stuff.

I would like to introduce to everyone the doll that started it all, Charlene.  She’s a sweet and special little girl adopted by the inner child of a special friend. Once I made Charlene I realized others might benefit from a therapy doll which might resemble their inner child. This is how Charlene Dolls came to be born, a friend in need became a sewing adventure. Please see the Charlene Doll host page by clicking this link.

I’M NOT ACCEPTING ORDERS AT THIS TIME. THANK YOU.

Custom Order Handmade DollsNOTE: Custom orders are running three to four weeks. I only make stuffed dolls in styles seen below. I no longer create bears. I do not have the ability to create a doll that looks and feels like a newborn. It is also beyond my creative control to make for you a steampunk or emo doll. I’m really sorry, too, because I’ve been asked several times. It’s just not in my skill set.

You can see close up views, actual sizes and details of art shown here by visiting my Etsy shop. You do not need an Etsy account to purchase crafts or originals. If you desire to purchase straight from this website, I will send you a PayPal invoice. 

To protect the requested privacy of the person on their healing path, some inner child and therapy dolls are not shown in the gallery.
