I bought her and took her home, and decided that before I gave her to Poppy, it might be nice to make some clothes and a little bag, so I knitted these.........
Then I remembered that I had lots of pretty yarn left over from making Poppy's blanket, so I made a matching blanket for dolly.
Then I rang DD, and told her the dolly was ready, and she remembered that I had made her a rag doll when she was a baby - well over twenty years ago! - and could we bring it with us at Christmas? Of course I could! So I washed all her clothes and got her ready to be reunited with her owner. Here she is modelling her bloomers!
Frilly underskirt.
Dress and hat.
And here they are together, Poppy's new Cath Kidston doll, with clothes designed and knitted by me, and DD's own doll, all made by me, many years ago, including all the clothes.
Ah yes, I can see happy days ahead, playing with Poppy, playing with dolls, lots of fun!
