One of the best parts of doll making is getting the chance to plan and make dolls for wonderful people. These dolls were ordered as special Christmas presents from loving husbands… ❤ ❤ ❤
Merry Christmas Susie!
Surprise!!! Two sweet sisters under the tree…
Joyeux Noel Suzanne!
Suzanne’s doll has a wardrobe of four dresses, so that she can dress for any occasion! Not shown are her warm winter wool petticoat and summer sunbonnet.
I finished her last dress late at night, so she posed under my Christmas lights. Bright and early the next morning she was off on her journey to her brand new home just in time for Christmas!
❤ One of the things I found quite touching is that both of these dolls had dresses ordered from two of the same fabrics. That just seemed meant to be, as they were both presents from husbands to their very sweet wives.

Hi Paula, Thankyou for the beautiful pictures of Anna in her new clothes. I don’t have a favorite outfit because I love them all. I think the dresses turned out so pretty.
Also, I wanted to mention how much I love the way you painted Anna’s eyes, they are so beautiful and I’m always drawn to them when I pick Anna up, plus she has such a younger look about her. Steve just loves her and Charlcie.
Suzanne,
You are so very welcome. Thank you, it makes me so happy to know you both love her! I hope Charlcie is excited and enjoys having a little sister. I’m sure she is much too sweet a doll to be even the least bit jealous of all the attention that Anna is getting 🙂
Happy New Year to all of you!
❤ Paula
