This rag doll belonged to my mother. I made it for her many years ago. I told her it was for her,because she didn't have many dolls growing up. Everyone of mom's granddaughters and some grandsons have played with the doll. She's in good shape considering how many kids had a hold of her.:):)
This is her own little chair. Poor dolly needs new elastic in her dress cuffs and the cuffs of her pantaloons. Her hair is black and her eyes are brown, just like my mom's were. I did make my twins a rag doll also. They still have them. I need to get back to sewing...but I still have taken my machine in for repairs. Hope you are all safe and warm....it's a cold day here and the whole week is suppose to be really chilly. Like single digit at night..brrr. :):)
Sooo cute!
ReplyDeleteI love rag dolls and made a few when I was very young.
They are long gone....
I made a huge raggedy Ann doll for my daughter when she was young. I have no idea what happened to it.
ReplyDeleteThat was so sweet of you to make that doll for your mom.
I used to make a lot of dolls, too, Susie. I just love the one you made for your Mom. She is so sweet- xo Diana
ReplyDeletethat is just the sweetest gift you gave your mom, she's a lovely doll, keep warm, its cold here too!
ReplyDeleteShe really is precious! I have never made a Raggedy doll...not sure if I could figure out their hair or face! But I sure do love them all! Your's is a treasure and sure bring back good memories!
ReplyDeleteSusie, I love the Raggedy that you made. So cool that you made it for your Mom. I made an Anne and Andy when I was in high school and still have them. They never go out of style!Try to stay warm!
ReplyDeleteI love rag dolls so very much!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love this one since it was loved so very much. I LOVE the black hair and brown eyes.
How clever you are! Why don't you make them and sell them? I would!!
I love it! How sweet of you to make it for your mom. My grandma was orphaned at a young age and had no dolls. She loved playing dolls with my sister and I!

ReplyDeleteI bet she meant a lot to your Mom since you made it for her!
She is in great shape considering all of her handling.
How sweet of you to make that doll! am not at all crafty.:-(
ReplyDeleteI didn't know you were a Mother of twins! That gives you and me something in common! Our girls were 38 just before Christmas! xo Nellie
What a treasure! The doll looks so clean to have been handled by so many children. I would like to be able to make something for our grand kids, but never have been crafty. I really admire people who are.
ReplyDeleteWhat a precious keepsake. I'm sure it meant the world to your Mom, especially that you made it yourself. I'm so glad I found your blog! -- Jan
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet thing to do and for the grandkids to hold too. She is charming!
ReplyDeleteOh, my gosh I think I made this same doll! I should post a picture of her..I made 3 for my granddaughters...should have made one more after my last granddaughter was born...just never got it done...sad
ReplyDeleteWhat a precious doll... And what a precious story behind it. You made it for your Mother. So sweet...
