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.

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

This time I actually took wax paper and planned out a pattern I believe I will continue on using. She is a flip or reversable doll with a smile on one end and a nice dress, then on the other a nightgown and a smile.. She took almost 12 hours start to finish to complete. She is 21 inches tall. 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.
