I love everything about it. don't you?! how lucky am i? super lucky!!! It is hanging out in my room waiting for it's permanent place of residence. (it says 2008 because that is when the picture was taken-don't fret, not a mistake.) ---the honey loves the little bit of extra hair he got :) and take a look at the long thin neck. i love felt portraits. they take 20 pounds OFF!!! lol.

Do you know what else i love? I Love making dolls. And new dolls-- designing, making, stitching....love it. did i already say that?

Here is a little sneak:

I can't show the rest---she is nuded---*kid language* so you must wait for little miss embarrassed to get dressed and then you shall see the rest. She has a few friends that are waiting patiently for thier turn too.... fabric is more patient the the sewer isn't it?
