I think getting this far has taken me 6 weeks. Embroidering the faces takes the longest, mainly because I hesitate about colors and what the face should look like. Then I do the same thing with the hair, I want it to look right, so it took me a solid week of placing felt, removing, cutting, twisting, and then going with my original idea.
I am a seriously slow creative person, especially when I don't have a due date. However, my mom is having a mini craft fair at her house in two weeks, so I've got to sew together a whole lot of toys... I wonder how quickly I can do that? I'll post more about that in a little while.

i really like them! i love your embroidery- so impressed. and i like the embroidery on teh chest of the one doll- reminds me of a friend i have that when she had to have a double mastectomy she got a huge beatuiful tattoo across her chest to cover the scars and make her chest something beautiful to look at again. you should make one of those dolls :)
i LOVE the idea of tattoed dolls!!!
oh and by the way- you look awesome! you dropped that baby weight fast sweetie! have you taken up ninja fighting, roller derby, or ultra marathons or something? you look great!
I can't wait to see the finished dolls. I, too, love the embroidery on the chest. And, you do look great.
Also, I noticed the short note that says it's 5 months 2 weeks and 3 days that JGR has stolen from your life. I PROMISE you won't think that in two years. You'll wonder how life went on without her. She is a demanding little thing--adorable, but demanding.
