A doll and her baby

 This little doll and her baby doll were made for a sweet young friend of ours. Our friend has beautiful long blond hair, the cutest pert little nose and great big expressive blue eyes. So I tried to make her doll look a bit like her. I asked the girl's mommy if she could help me out with the yarn for the hair, since I was having a hard time finding something that seemed just right. She is a very talented spinner and whipped up this gorgeous yarn lickity-split. It's 100% soy silk and is the softest, silkiest yarn I've ever worked with.

After I finished the doll and her little wardrobe, she seemed to need a little playmate of her own! So I made her a dolly of her very own, complete with a tiny hand-stitched cradle, a soft, wool stuffed pillow and her very own knitted blanket, made to match the big doll's knitted shawl. I think she was pretty pleased with her tiny new playmate. To hold the big doll's shawl on, I thought she needed a pretty little shawl pin, so I made her one. It is topped with shiny little glass beads, very big-girlish in style we think!
