April, June & Oliver

Today I would like to introduce you to April, June and Oliver. I had a lot of fun making these particular dolls. I made April first, then June and then Oliver. 

This is April

June

Oliver and June 

I named this little guy Oliver because he made me think of Oliver Twist. I remembered a movie called "Oliver" from several years earlier that I really liked.

April wearing June's clothes. Notice the oversize hat and shoes. She's playing "dress up."

April modeling a dress and hat I made for my doll making teacher. Yes, I made the hat too. Making dolls got to be pretty expensive, so I started making clothes for some of the other students who didn't sew, and also for the teacher who sold dolls but didn't have time to make clothes for them. This is the way I ended up financing my "habit." And doll making really did get to be addictive - much like blogging has become for me now. Making dolls was a lot more expensive though. Well, maybe not when you consider that I spend so much time on the computer now that we decided to get a second one. We really didn't need two until I started blogging. 

I usually do Show & Tell from my regular blog At Home in Scottsdale. But today I decided to share something on this new blog that I just started just for my dolls.

I hope you will visit the other new blog that Ginger and I are starting called Spiritual Sundays. This is a blog designed to let our blogging friends share their inspirational posts. You can click on it to go there and find out more about it. Mr. Linky will be up on that blog Saturday at noon MST for those who would like to sign on. It's called Spiritual Sundays, but we are putting it up on Saturday because so many are busy on Sunday mornings with church activities. This way they can go ahead and post and sign up on Saturdays. This is somewhat of an experiment for us as we have never done anything like it before. We are hoping that a lot of people will want to join in. 

Hugs, Charlotte
