It is bad luck to put it away or close the door. Last Thur I thought I had finished the last doll dress (I dressed 6 dolls this year, including one with 20 outfits) so I closed the door to the sewing room and said I will clean you in Jan. Two hours later I got a call saying one of the dolls I had done had accidentally been given to another family. So you guessed it. Sunday after church I made a dress, overall, shirt, nightgown, panties and a blanket. But another little girl will get a doll from Santa.This time I just closed the door and made no statement.
