Thank you everyone!! I'm just beaming from all the wonderful compliments and responses. I really had fun with these two. I have a whole new appreciation for all you mini-makers out there.

Little Babette has a leg laying around here somewhere because while stuffing the wee thing and closing it's seam (a whole 1/4 inch worth) I some how squeeze just a bit too hard with my thumb and index finger and shot it across the room kind of like a tiddlywink. I had no idea where it went it happened so fast so I just made another. :crackup:

Thank you mucho!!

I have never been much of a doll person but there is something about rag dolls that I just love.

I still can't believe I won these two beautiful creations bear_wub . I am so very grateful Shantell. It certainly was the ray of sunshine in my otherwise rotten day . I 'll stalk my mailman everyday until the package arrives bear_whistle . I may even have to throw my arms around him when I see him arriving with a box bear_grin
