I hope that makes some kind of sense. It is such a small thing for me to do, in the face of it all, and I am glad I began to do these dolls and the chemo caps. I would not be able to do as many on my own without the loveing help given to me these past few weeks by woman all over the US in their packages of fabric and trims. I will continue to make dolls as long as the supply lasts. It sure isn't just me doing this. Everyone who prays for these little ones, who writes me with encouragement here, and who does their best to help their fellowman, has a part in promoting love, and that leads back to what is in each doll.
gosh, I got longwinded here. I suppose I have developed a passion about the dolls for the kids as well as the caps.
God Bless all out there and hope this mail isn't clear as mud. I believe the next doll will be number 14.

The boy was made wearing a sweater I 'cut down to size' for him and a cap, that I bought for $10 and wore 20 years. It was purchased from Montgomery Wards in Grants Pass.
The blue jeans were cast offs of my hubby and also 'cut to size'. ggl. I hope to get two dresses done this afternoon and evening, for the two in one or flip dolls. That way, there will be 3 girls and a boy for some child with cancer. I hope you all enjoy the pictures.

Thanks. I am glad you liked him. I am trying hard to get two dresses finished now, and think it will happen, so one more doll (or 4 dolls total) will make it over to ACS mid morning tomorrow. After that I will try to get one or two dolls a week done, when I can, so I don't overtire the process, and have to stop awhile. I don't want that to happen. At 12 hours start to finish to delivery, it is difficult to get to sew a lot of dolls in a week on ones own. I'll give it my best shot. The upcoming doll is red polka dot skirt and gingham top with trims... and ruffle for the skirt. White nightgown will be pretty as well.
Back to the sewing machine. If I can get the doll #15 done, I'll post a picture for all that come here.

hugs to yu and yours.

Wow Vickie you are a busy bee. I have been working on Project Linus quilts for the last week and today I got a bit burned out. So I think tomorrow I am gonna take a break. So far I have 3 complete and 1 waiting for batting that I have to get more tomorrow. But when you know what they are for it helps to push on with it. I am so glad you are able to do these and can't wait to see the pictures of the little ones once they are born. Hehehe. I have another box ready to send to you in the mail either tomorrow or Tuesday at the latest. Had as much fun putting this one together for you as I did the first one. I will let you know for sure when it is in the mail so you can watch for it. Keep up the great work. :-)
