I attempted to post about dolls every day for a year. I came very close. Now I publish randomly. I love to hear from my readers.
I made a little sun suit for Betsy McCall. |
But I think I like it better on this older doll. |
I think she's sweet. |
Modern/Current |
vintage |
More vintage (1950's) |
Even more vintage! Doll clothes patterns are a habit of mine! |
This thrifted doll turns out to be a babysitters club character named Jessi. She is in her original outfit, but someone has chopped off her hair. marked: c1993 SCHOLASTIC INC. MADE IN CHINA |
I thought, since the little nightgown didn't fit Betsy McCall, I would run her up one of her own, using the vintage one for inspiration. Not quite as successful as I could have wished. |
I went to the flea market to visit my friend. I ended up buying this from her. |
I thought it might fit Betsy McCall. |
Doesn't she look sweet in it? There's a lot of overlap in back. |
So pigtail girl got to wear it. It comes down further on her shoulders than I would have thought to be good, but I like it there |
Sometimes, he knew... |

So, with the same spirit... |
...that made him try to fly a kite... |
...form a team... |
...and play a season of baseball... |
...or attempt to kick a football held by Lucy Van Pelt... |
...he checked the box and waited the mail carrier, faithfully. |
Two whole months later, he finally lost faith, gave up and crawled .... |
... into the mailbox. Poor Charlie! |
