Raggedy Works of Heart

Katharine Longo

was showing at the doll and bear show

that I got to go to, last weekend.

I think her work is charming!

See her work, HERE!

Doll's Christmas

I know it is early, yet.
(In that sentence structure
 you have evidence
of the 6 years I spent
in Pennsylvania "Dutch"
Country.)
In trying to earn a
little by selling
on eBay, I made
some stocking ornaments.
They reminded me of
The Doll's Christmas
by Tasha Tudor.

Before I ever heard of
Tasha, or any of her
books, I liked to dream of
making my own doll sized
Christmas celebration.

Whether they were
inspired by Tasha,
or, just inspired,
a Google search of
"doll's Christmas"
was fun, for me.

Here are just two links
to what I am still exploring:

Doll Christmas 
Pleasantville Christmas (Teaser) 

Are you dreaming of  doll
Christmas?
Do you include dolls
in your celebration
in any way? 

Not My Knits - on eBay

There are some pretty knits for dolls on eBay, aren't there!?

Barbie Clothes
AG Dress Set
!6 inch Fashion Doll Set
Baby Dress Outfit

I am not endorsing these sellers.  I thought I'd share a little of what is out there.  Having a little difficulty with Blogger, just now, so I added links instead of trying to post photos.

A Dress for Supersize Barbie

Hmmm!
It could use a little adjusting!
I'm going to list until I have a reasonable amount
in my Etsy shop.
It's only 20 cents
per item.
Of course, there's more to
pay if you actually sell something.
We'll see how it goes. :)

Knit Halter Dresses for Tyler, Ellowyne,more

Knit from sock yarn
in a three one rib,
this dress is rather
form fitting.

This dress has silver threads
running through it.

Both of these dresses were
nearly done.
Today, I put in the fasteners,
took the photos
and listed them on Etsy.

Suddenly it occurred to me:
I have something "doll"
for my blog! :)

Those Dresses

Since I do not plan to show pictures
of the bodies, (and they are in the dump,
any way)  here's what can be seen of
the "lamented" dolls about which I posted.

Doll Lover's Lament?

The doll in the box

Had long brown locks

And her dress was as sweet as they came.

Her hair was a mess

And so was her dress,

But Aunt Lou bought her just the same. 

Oh, no (oh, no)

Oh, no! (oh,no) 

Oh, what should be done with Aunt Lou?

Even at a bargain price

This doll wasn't very nice.

What's a poor old doll hoarder to do?
