I made a doll today!!



Today I went to an all day workshop where I learned how to make a doll from very basic materials.  We used all cotton fabric, 100% wool for stuffing, and needles and thread.  Our teacher told us that we were "ensouling' our dollies. (Giving them their soul)  It really felt like that.  I had the most wonderful time.  Once I had sewn on the eyes, I started to fall very in love with this baby.  I made her for Ceci so I tried to make her look like her.  I couldn't wait to show her to the girls.  They all loved her!!  I bought kits to make one for each of my big girls and one for myself!!  I hope I can make the time to have them done for Christmas!
