Primitive Dolls












It was so much FUN doing something different! I had always wanted to make a rag type doll and I knew I just had to one of these when my best friend posted a link to this primitive looking Ruby Doll Pattern on her blog. So we made plans, we gathered our stuff together and our kids and had tons of fun making these little dolls! Kelsey and I had just planned on spending the day together – but as we cut, sewed and stuffed and our kids played, and played and played together, the lovely day we were having all too quickly became night, night turned into supper time, and then bedtime followed! So we decided to have a sleepover and stay up till we could get the dollies done!!! After staying up as long as we possibly could and still not being quite done, we realized we had to get some sleep and finnish the last little bits up the next morning. They turned out sooooooo cute! Each and everyone of the eight that we made. I am sure you will agree! It was alot of work! Two of the ones I made are for Africa. My parents are over there working as missionaries right now and my Mom will just love giving them to two little girls in Malawi. Makes my heart happy just thinking of all the fun they will have with these little dolls, I wish I had hundreds of them and not just two!
