This is Kathy's doll which sits on top of a clock on the chest of drawers in the dining room. She started making dolls for Vivian, and the earlier dolls were smaller than this one. The origin of this one is interesting, we visited our friends Dick and Trauti in Rhode Island and Trauti had some dolls that Kathy admired, so she took a few photographs of them and use one of those photographs for making this doll. She made one for Vivian first, and then decided she wanted one for herself, and this is the result. What is amazing is the hand stitching on the face, of the smile and the glasses. She was really proud of how the stitching came out. She is such a cute doll, isn't she?

I remember Mom making us dolls when we were older that were based on a doll she had as a child.
Kathy’s doll is adorable! She did a wonderful job creating her. It takes a lot of time and patience making handmade items. This doll will certainly be treasured!
