Birthday coming up
This is the doll that I have had sitting in the cupboard for a long while now. I fell in love with her pretty face, and the fact that she bends in all the right places. My Granddaughter turns four at the start of next month, and her Mum says she loves dolls and plays properly with them - she had a school going on last week, with every little character she could collect up. Now that is proper dolly games. Not like schlepping a naked Barbie by the hair, as one sees in the supermarket so often!
The picture is of her wearing an Alsace traditional costume, but she was supplied wearing ballet clothes, and I have found a few other bits and bobs over time, so she goes home well supplied, I have been having fun making some as well.
It has been lovely going through my boxes of bits to find fabric and trimmings. Now I know why I have been saving stuff all these years!
The stripy cardi is from Arne & Carlos' Doll book, adapted slightly. It is actually a traditional pattern from Fano in Norway.

Your Grand-daughter will be heaven with that beautiful doll and that gorgeous wardrobe. I would have died for those when I was a child.
Your granddaughter is going to be very happy when she gets this doll, along with all her beautiful accessories. I especially love the little sweater you knit from the Knitted Dolls book.:-)
