Her eyes and lips are painted with acrylic paints. Her eyelids and eyebrows ere embroidered. Bettina has strawberry color curly wig,which is hand sewn to her head. Her arms are movable, because they have joints. Legs are seam jointed.
Bettina is 4 years old girl. She is going to her grandmother's birthday party. She wants to take her old teddy bear with her. Bettina's mother wants her to wear apron on her dress, but Bettina wants to go to the party without apron. Her mother made her dress from satin fabric and trimmed it with lace. Her apron is made from polyester fabric and trimmed with satin ribbons. She can wear the apron alone as a summer dress , when it is very hot. Her shoes, socks and teddy bear are purchased.

Kimmie
Doll by Amanda Kuhlman
from... Owensboro, KY

This pattern is "Kimmie" designed by Carolee Creations. I made her from very soft craft velour, embroidered her sweet, freckled face, and braided her cute auburn hair. Kimmie's ballet suit, tutu, and ballet shoes are all Carolee's design. I adapted the ballet suit by making the tutu a separate piece that can be removed and replaced with a different color and/or length tutu.
I have entered this pattern by Carolee Creations to honor Carolee and show my appreciation for her designs and the pleasure the dolls made from her designs have brought to me and those who received one as a gift or purchased one that I made.

Violetta
Doll by Heather Brown
from... Oxford, MI

Violetta wears all purple in support of Epilepsy Awareness, a disorder that two of my children live with.
She was made from a Simplicity pattern. Her hair is made from an upcycled grape purple lambswool sweater, and her removable cape from an upcycled violet cashmere sweater.
Violetta has seizures, but she takes medicine for them and she still lives the life of a normal little girl! Since she is still occasionally unsteady on her feet, she often has boo-boos; and so she had to have a Band-Aid on her skinned knee. But she still looks beautiful in her purple dress that hides her little secret well, and also wears her favorite shoes to match her dress.
Violetta is proud to wear her purple in support of Epilepsy awareness-it is not something most people are knowledgeable about! And she is glad to help little girls feel special too.

Rainbow
Doll by Melody Korlinchak
from... New Holland, PA

I chose a pattern from Jeanlee Dolls that had hands with fingers and feet with toes included to make my first Waldorf doll. After choosing the pattern, I watched videos and tutorials on YouTube and Pinterest. Before even starting my doll though, I taught myself how to knit; after-all, I wanted my girl to have a sweater or two. After getting her head made, I went shopping for hair at a local weaver's shop, and chose a fine, sparkly, colorful, hand-spun yarn that became the inspiration for her name - Rainbow.
After watching some videos, I decided to crochet a base cap and then attached it to her head, hooking the hairs onto the base cap. Feeling something was missing, I also added the little curls. I found fabrics for her dress to match the sweaters I made, and already had the shoes. I tweaked the original pattern, adding my own special touch to Rainbow by adding wire to her fingers so that she could grip and hold things.
It was a fun and challenging experience - I not only know how to make a Waldorf doll now, but I also taught myself how to knit!
