I've been making a lot of dolls lately. So many that sometimes I forget how much my own children have been wanting them. I have to hide them from my youngest or she'll beg and beg to snuggle them, and knowing how grubby her little hands can get it's never a good idea to have something I'd rather she didn't destroy. :)
I decided last week to put a hold on accepting anymore custom orders so that I could focus on making her her very own special doll. Her birthday is coming up in just over a week and I managed to get her dolly finished and clothed. Of course, now I'll have to do one for her older sister or I'll never hear the end of it.
So I introduce you to Lilah.
I just love this doll. It was actually my oldest who asked for a doll with pink and purple hair and I decided that I'd do them both similarly so that the fighting would be minimal. I love how every last bit of her (well, besides the sequined belt on her dress that my daughter picked out one day at the fabric store) is all natural. Her hair and stuffing are pure wool, her skin is cotton, her cheeks are beeswax blushed. She was made with a ton of love and I really like to think it comes through.
So Happy Birthday my little darling! Treat her well!
