another doll

my best friend jen is due to have her baby next month... and she's having a girl. i swore i was never making another one of these dolls ever again (worst pattern ever... i am thinking i'll set fire to it now that this one is done!) unless jen decided to have another baby and that baby was a girl... well... jen is having another baby and that baby is a girl. so supervised by mum, i got to work yet again - and here is the end result! this one is in fun shades of blue and is yet unnamed.

jen, please don't have another girl. i'll kill you... but congratulations, this beautiful doll is coming to live at your house :)

a doll for isabel

never, ever again. until the next one of course. baby isabel has arrived and i (stupidly) decided she needed a handmade doll as a "welcome to the earth" present. i have made this pattern once before (see here) and it went pretty well, with no major issues... but this time i wanted to ditch the doll and set fire to the pattern! hopefully she will love it... but i would be lying if i said that a lot of love went into it. more like a lot of cursing and anger haha.

but may i present the yet unnamed doll i finally managed to turn out for miss isabel. please feel free to offer name suggestions in the comments... but mark my words it will be a long time before i attempt another... if ever! augh.
