Me, As A Doll
My birthday was April 1st, so I finally got around to ordering mysef a doll from Wren Handmade, and it arrived yesterday. I am so thrilled with it, so glad that I got it from Laura instead of trying to make it myself from the patterns that were previously on the MSL website (thank goodness I downloaded and printed those before they changed their links). I am sure that mine wouldn't be as beautiful as the one Laura made, although now I want to make a million outfits for her.
I love the way the dolls have such a grown-up look about them, they remind me of little museum curators or something. I have a black boiled wool coat cut like this, and the pants and shoes also look like something I'd wear. I asked Laura to pick the shirt for me, and of course this little Liberty print number is perfect. I originally planned to keep her in the nursery, but that's up for debate now:)
Next week I hope to share some more pictures of the nursery update that Laura's doll for the Kim Family Auction inspired. And I know that Blair mentioned Joelle Hoverson's apartment which was featured in the new Blueprint. That along with receiving my doll has got me thinking about what a special place "handmade" has in my home, so I would also like to share some thoughts about that in the next few weeks. Have a great weekend everyone...
Oh my, I'm officially in love with that doll. And you can buy her clothes too! It just goes to show that it's not only little boys who never quite grow up...

A great doll, and I'm sure everyone will understand if you don't put it in the nursery. Would love to see any clothes you make her.

I am so sorry to bother you with this, but I want to make that doll and searched Martha Stewart for days. My daughter wants one so bad, and I can't buy one. Do you have a PDF of the one that was on the site? Could you email it to me. I would be so greatful.
