These first two pictures are from Patty. She's in charge of the exchange.

My contribution to each is a pair of breasts since I didn't include any when I designed the
pattern*.

We Thursday Bee ladies are having fun!
*click on the word "pattern" to be taken to the introductory post for the Spirit Doll. There are two links at the end of that post ... one for printing out the pattern and the other for printing out assembly instructions.
What a fun thing to do. Those dolls are looking wonderful. I really like the orange doll.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a doll person usually but these are very appealing - I specially like the last one.
