Isabeau’s Diary

February 16, 2016February 26, 2016 paulawalton2 Comments

“Dear Diary,

I’m sorry I haven’t written for a few days. It’s been such a busy weekend! Our dearest friend Emmaline has come to visit and we are having such fun.”

“We had a very Happy Valentine’s Day!”

“We are so happy the Emmaline came to stay with us for a nice long visit!”

“Every day we all walk out to check on the progress of our new house…”

"Then we come inside and for hot cocoa!" — “Then we come inside for hot cocoa!”

"and climb back up in our cozy cupboard." — “and climb back up into our cozy cupboard.”

“Good night dearest diary. Love, Isabeau”

Pamela’s Doll

A sweet little Izannah for Pamela, made from my mold of Anna.

I’ve just finished a very special reproduction Izannah Walker doll for Pamela. I was fortunate enough to get to meet Pamela at the 2014 UFDC convention, where we had a great time chatting and planning all of the details for this doll. She is made from my mold of Anna, an adorable little antique Izannah Walker doll that belongs to my friend Mary.

Pamela’s doll in progress. I love her tiny smile 🙂

Pamela asked for blue painted boots to match the prussian blue in her doll’s dress.

Blue embroidery edges the hem of her petticoat…

Details… Cording piping and cartridge pleating at the waistline of her dress… individually hand stitched fingers and applied thumb…

The original antique Anna just happens to be visiting here at the moment and was happy to pose with her newest little sister ❤ (Pamela’s doll on the left and the antique Anna on the right).

Old & New ❤
