Anyway...while sitting around looking at these online, I realized I had a handmade, freeformed doll I had made a few years back. She ended up with a big head, and long skinny neck, and strange looking feet (sort of like Squidward on Spongebob)!!! LOL. Here she is, wearing a dress taken off an old porcelain doll:
A close up of her head. I embroidered her face freehandedly also (I guess I hate plans, and perfection). Her hair has never been made. I braided a ribbon, and it is only pinned to the top of her head (poor girl). I am terrible with hair ideas... and getting a certain style of hair to match the dolls composition or personality!
I must have made her around 4th of July, because the little heart that I sewed to her chest, has a sort of flag look to it.
A full body view.
, Yes...I just took this picture this morning...my little Christmas tree is still up! Ha! I am leaving it up as a symbol of hope for so many things...life in general, future prosperity, Haiti, and LOVE. Well, I also really like the glow it provides at night...and my little girl here likes to pose next to it also!!!
So there she is...any name suggestions??? Next I hope to post some felt plushies, or softies I've made! If tiame avails. Happy day to all!

Hi Julie
Oh she is so cute sitting next to your Christmas tree of hope...well she could be called Hope as in hoping for all things good.
I hope you are having good weather. My mom will be in your area tomorrow afternoon...wish I was going to visit her and you but I doubt I will.
have a lovely day

Happy day dear Julie! That is one adorable doll...and quite brainy too! with that lovely head size:-)
The Heart is super cool and the flag pattern is ingenious.
Julie, do you realize she looks just like Emily? It was the first thing I thought when I saw this.
This is adorable!!!!! I love the heart on her chest. Clever you.
This is a cute Softie. I think she is just Perfect.

I love your doll. When I was little the only dolls I really liked were the softies.
Leaf It to Hope? How's that for a name? She is beautiful, and so are your sentiments, Julie.
Thanks for your nice comments everyone!!! I am partial to this girl!!!
She looks very huggable. I think she looks like a Mary.

Hello dear Julie,

Seeing the doll finally comes to live neat and adorable. I feel so blessed that you have sent your best softie to me. I really treasure your gem gift Julie!

Well I think she looks like a Wilma Joy. Just saying.....
I only just last night took my little glowing tree down.
I know just what you mean.
Well, she is adorable, isn't she. Wow. You amaze me. I actually think the hair style she has right now is perfect. Her eyes! Wow. I just love her. I like WIlma Joy for a name too!!! Can't wait to see your other creations. You are so talented.
