posted this on my other site, titled "I hope she will help a child with cancer'...but was so happy with this one in particular, that I needed to share it with you guys as well. For the hair (in case you are wondering....I took 9 strands and used a large eye needle to put them through the fablic to double the amount 2 x's 9=18 pieces of yarn(per side of dolls head) and used 6 strands each to braid and tie off on the end. I repeated on each side for an overall braided hairdo in a dark brown yarn. I took bits of yarn and scraps of fabric and joined them all together for a skirt then joined it to a top for a dress. She wears 'pantaloons'. It was a complete work of joy to do this so totally different doll and I hope you enjoy seeing it. It will go to a child with cancer or other dibilitating illness. The doll is shown front and back for clarity. Hope the good Lord gives me 70 more years to do this kind of thing (but seriously doubt that happening....giggling)

oooohhhhh so pretty!

I can just see some pale little girl's face light up when she is
handed this new friend. She can talk to it and tell it all her fears and then maybe feel a little bit better.

Thank you for doing such a lovely act of love.

She is adorable! Angels among us.

I can see the love in your doll!

So sweet!! You and the doll! :thumbup: :D :thumbup:

Thanks to all of you for your loving comments

Some little girl will be so happy! God bless you for your kindness.

so sweet it will make some little girl happy !!!

She is so cute, some little girl will fall in love with her.

may god bless you many times over!

here is the link, should you wish to see the earlier dolls. There are a total 18 pages at that link. I have a total 6 dolls waiting to deliver to the American Cancer Society office here in town. Perhaps Monday I'll get them over there. From there they will be sent to the Eureka, CA office as well and perhaps to other places in need. They were down to 2 last time I asked.

Thanks again for all the sweet and loving replies to this topic. God Bless all.

Vickie, your dolls are wonderful and will be so loved by the kids who receive them. God bless you.

Thanks again for all replies. I went to the link and didn't see all the small dolls, so maybe the computer did a hic-cup and dropped them into space somewhere. Hope everyone enjoys whichever ones they did get to see, if they went to the link.

Vickey.

Beautiful doll and beautiful lady holding the doll.

thanks for those kind words. I suppose to be 70 already, I could look worse. I hope the children will will find comfort and some joy in the dolls.

Beautiful work and children will be so happy to have such a precious friend-Thank you for sharing your work!

What a great doll! You did a wonderful job on her....hope you have time to do lots more of them...some little girls will really love them!

Vickey, the love in you shines so brightly in your face and in the dolls you make!

What a wonderful doll, made by a wonderful woman!!

Aw, very cute!

that is one cutie for another cutie, you are so generous these dolls will bring such joy to these precious little angels.

Thanks to all of you for taking time to reply about the dolls. Just trying to make a difference by offering a source of comfort to kids in trouble. Hugs to you all.

Vicki, she is so adorable, and so are you for such a wonderful kind of thing to do. Some little girl that needs it much, will have a friend to snuggle with

Thanks so much for your kindness in the reply. With a few health issues there are things I cannot do, but this I can do.



Thanks again.

Vickey

You are one of God's blessings to this world.

Very, very sweet, Vicky. I hope you have 70 more years also. Yolanda

Adorable for sure!

All that love will definitely be sent along with that beautiful little doll and make a big differnce to the child who recieves it.

thanks again for replies. It makes me feel good to know so many out there care about what I am trying to do. This afternoon, I started another 12 inch doll. Two more to go and then I go back to the larger ones like on the other link.

This one also has a quilted dress look to it. I probably will duplicate the hairdo again.

thanks again.

You are an angel among us, making happiness for other angels. God works in wondrous ways. From all of those who've not been able to tell you THANK YOU-----I say THANK YOU. God's Blessings to you and your family.

Thanks so much. I wish I could be a fly on the wall and be able to see the little ones that get the dolls, and hear the conversations. I am so blessed to know how to make these little dolls and the larger ones. So much hurtful things in our world, it is good to help where ever one can.

Hugs to you and yours. Send me a PM and I'll send you a story I wrote. Take care.

She is adorable, I know some child will be thrilled. You have earned many stars in your crown for the work you are doing. Blessings to you.

thanks so much for those words and buckets of hugs to all


Vickey

PS: putting pantaloons on another 12 inch doll now. Then will do the hairdo

okay dokay. 5 little girls all in a row, and got them on my lap. Thank I will take a break for a week or so, then 2 little ones to finish...and back to the big girls and boys. Thanks all of you out there for the encouragement. Hope you enjoy the tired great granny holding her babies on her lap. giggle
