Ok, I forgot about this blog and didn't add to it, but now I will start.

My first major project is to clean, repair and make a new outfit for an old composition baby doll that was my Moms.

She had given it to my older sister, but my sister has now given it to me as dolls and old toys are my passion in life aside from genealogy.

So this is my baby now:

As you can see she needs to be restrung, cleaned and her heel repaired.  Beside her is the dress she was in, it is an old silk doll dress and she comes with rubber pants and the purple sheet was her diaper.

She also has a crack across her bum ( and I don't mean the normal one!!)   

Today, I ordered the proper string and composition repair from ebay and it should be delivered before the end of the month.

And I just need to think of a proper name for this little lady  -- any suggestions?
