Its the little one’s 2nd birthday on Monday, so I couldn’t let it pass without making one of her favourite things – a doll! This is one of my little 6 inch dolls and I knitted her a little dress and matching headband out of lovely soft baby yarn.
Just for something different I drew and painted her face on instead of embroidered. Her hair is alpaca and merino wool.
I’m working on a birthday apron too.
I’m starting to feel like I need to cram everything into the next 11 days (yes, 11 days!!!) before the baby arrives. I know I won’t even be able to contemplate sitting at the sewing machine for many weeks. This baby, like all my others will be born by caesarian section and I know by now that the recovery is slow.
The softie giveaway is still on!
Thankyou all for your well wishes!
That little dress and headband set is adorable! Great colour. Hope all goes well with the arrival of your new little treasure.
Your little doll is simply adorable, great job. I'm sure your daughter will treasure it. Thanks too for visiting and leaving a comment on my blog.
Oh, she looks so sweet, your daughter will love her!
Best of luck, will be thinking of you- wow 11 days!!!
I am sure your daughter will love her new dolly! And since I am so bad at knitting, I find it always so nice to see knitted doll dresses…
I wish you all the best for the next weeks. Hope you get a lot of support from your loved ones – and I hope you will have a lot of time with a hapåpy little newborn baby to sit in bed and knit little doll and baby clothes while you are recovering from the caesarian section.
Love from Sweden,
Juliane
