I don't mean to put a damper on your enthusiasm but if you are going to sell your dolls, please be aware that there are laws regarding the labeling of any stuffed toys even homemade ones.

I LOVE your babies, too!!! They have that "soft needle sculptured" look to their happy little faces.
Yes, it is now FAR more prohibitive for anyone to make and sell anything than it is to import from overseas. My Mom and I used to make and sell hand made dolls and bears. Ours were better constructed and had safer materials. These laws put Mom and Pop home crafted items off-limits.
The same rules that apply to us don't apply to the items made available to our kids and grandkids that come from foreign sources. :thumbdown:
