New Dolls for UNICEF

Finally I have something new to show you here, if you still can find your way to my blog. During the Summer I have made four new UNICEF dolls. This is Kerttu:


Her dark-haired friend is Ilona:


Aura here has typical Finnish hair, straight, fine and fair. Her pretty frock is made from my mother's old summer skirt.


The last doll is Susanna, she will be a retirement gift for a friend later.

Here they all are, just waiting for their identity cards. The UNICEF office as been closed during July but I hope to get a delivery of cards and those little fabric labels to show that they are original and genuine UNICEF products.


By today I have made 90 girl dolls and only used 8 names twice, each time because the new owner wished to give her doll a name I had already used for a doll earlier. Finding a nice name for a doll is part of the fun.
