This little doll was dress by a 95 year old Lady. She buys the dolls -- makes the dresses and panties then donates them to Charity. I just had to buy one for Holly. I delivered some dolls to her the other day in her Nursing Home and her room is FULL of dolls of various sizes.

119791You tell her she does beautiful work. I have done these dolls and have all the patterns as well. I did my sisters and neices plus my sister-in-law one for Christmas one year and it is a lot of work. I even did my neice a wedding doll for her reception. I am currently working on my granddaughter a trinket box to put her jewelry in. She is an awesome lady to do this at her age. It is a lot of work but also a lot of fun. I pray God blesses her hands for the blessings she is doing. Roberta

Her Body is frail but there is nothing wrong with her hands and her mind. A very Beautiful Lady.

173692Cute, I love the purple and it really looks great on the light hair. Outstanding at 95 doing hand work. Arthur tends to stop many well before that age. She must really be a joy.

5955Very sweet looking doll. I used to work in an aged care facility & made an outfit for a doll that a lady had bought secon hand & wanted to give her grand daughter. After having a nice wash, her hair done & a new dress, panties & bonnet she was set to go.

Does she work with patterns or just make them up? Hope I'm still able to do things at that age.

I think if she couldn't have her dolls and make clothes for them she would not be here. These are her Life Line.

She had another after I bought this one. The Doll had Cherry Red where this one is purple. Would love to have bought it for myself.
