My Cora Paige Contribution.

*edited to add that she sold already. Thank you :)
In order to sell anything to raise money for The Cora Paige Playground I had to open an Etsy Shop. I am a couple days late for the launch, but I have finally gotten a sweet doll listed. It is the only thing in my shop currently. I would love to have an Etsy business, but life is a little crazy right now for that. Please click on the link on the left to see all of the wonderful items available to help support build Cora's Playground.

Here She Is!

Okay I have finally figured out this pattern, I think. I am happy with the way she came out. I have really been wanting to make my own doll. I have made many flat style dolls on my own, but this was my first of this kind. I need to tweak the pattern just a little bit more and then I think I have her as close to perfection as I can get. She is a playful little girl. Loves a good apron, with a pocket of course.

Head stands are a must!!! So are stretchy rainbow leggings.

Time for a rest on her favorite little knotted quilt. She is so cute! I may have a hard time sending her off to her new home (my swap partner).

My Swap Creation.

I have been wanting to develop a doll pattern of my own for a while, so what better time than for a Handmade Swap. Part of the swap was to take pictures of the process. It has been fun, however I have forgotten to take a few pics. It is hard to stop and grab the camera when you are on a creative roll. LOL

She is turning out smaller than I had wanted, and there are a few little imperfections. I may keep this prototype and make a new one for my swap partner. Do you think small imperfections give a handmade item more personality? (I am too much of a perfectionist I think to leave it.)
