Keep sewing Vickey, it keeps you young and brightens a little girl's days. Cute dolls.

thanks for all those replies. I am told Georgia is unable to 'really bold onto anything' but seems comforted to have it near her. By the way, those who don't know, I am 70 years old, have empyhema and am a retired nurse and writer. Gotta keep on keeping on and do what I can do. I never could find a reason not to be doing something, unless I was to sick to do more than rest.

It touched our hearts to get the picture on-line and be given permission to share it.

Thanks

What a sweet thing to do. Your dolls are adorable, and I'm sure any little girl would treasure one.

Oh My....

Your dolls are fantastic and for such a worthwhile cause.

I think that you are doing such a wonderful thing.... I lost my mum and brother to cancer but it must be awful when it is a child that is affected!

Keep up the good work.

Hugs

Two children so far were laid to rest with their dolls. I hope there will be no more. I am a retired nurse, writer, sewer, knitter, etc and will be 70 in just over a week. I've lost friends and family to cancer, and complications from Alzheimer's... so this type retirement project is a 'pay forward' thing.
So love what you're doing. The dolls are beautiful and I'm sure a delight for a child to receive one. I can just picture a childs face light up when he or she receives one. May the Lord bless you always.

What a blessing you are to all those you have given of your time and placed a smile on their faces. The comfort you provide goes a long way, be a child or an adult. Hugs.
