remember Gwendolyn?

I made her back when....

........when I found Black Eyed Suzie's dolls online; absolutely was smitten and reeelly, reeeellly wanted one.  But, I couldn't afford one  They were way too expensive for me.  So, I decided I could make myself one in her style.  I do that.

She took me awhile.  I was looking back at old photos and see months went by between the start of her and the completion.  Seems I was laid up for a good portion of that season too...with a wonky arm...and it was not the result of accident, but surgery, on my ganglion cluster on the same arm that is now broken.  Good grief !!

She is air dry paper clay over wire and tin foil.

Anyway...here's Gwendolyn ....something for show and tell ...

oops, sorry....perhaps I should have given her some panties for the photo.












































Here are some of Suzie's in case you don't know of her dolls.  I still love them and hope to make more some day.

I won socks!!!

Makes me feel a bit like Dobby!  wooohooooo

Anne had a giveaway and I won!   ....yes... I do get pretty excited about things like that!

Check out the beautiful socks she is going to knit.... and we even get to choose the colours. Some lovely new yarn she just received.  Here is my colour... ooooh...I can hardly wait to see them in person.

And...in other news...

Gwendolyn found a friend in Frikkles .... they like to hang out together on the table... he really loves the attention.

Yep...she whispered her name to me the other night as I was pottering around doing something nearby and keeping my eye on them and the antics ...

She actually looks pretty ladylike here...but, she has a sense of humour too believe me... much like myself it seems.  Mostly conservative...but given to bouts of silliness on occasion.
