Have you ever enjoyed making something so much that you almost can't stop?

I have been making little clothespin dolls and I sneak in small applications throughout the day.
Here is how it all began ... again ...![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg65NhV9ukZoTUqpr0ZMkG2BnaVdzEYpGiYaeg_Aq03z5ukkcUgWZE6_CEbrjqOgcqHbuqD9PRUUB6vZEPiAJ1QwOdPNXwpC1w-4wiLI5oszCS4puwC1XW2BDhH1P8QUC557MFKqkelvg8/s400/IMG_1842.jpg)
For the
I thought of you swap,
Debi sent me a box of vintage clothespins so for our birthday swap, I made Debi a little doll using one of the clothespins and included a photo on my
presents revealed! blog post. Recently blogging friend
Teri saw the doll and asked if I could make dolls and doll kits for her to give as presents. How fun!

So the little assembly line began ...

But I wanted to experiment on other dolls. Things like: how to get the hair right, how to make their clothes, how to draw their faces ...

Now I can't stop! I plan to make more for my online shops.

I made this one when I was about 12. My sister Dede found it and gave it to me to illustrate that I have always been creative.

Teri, here is a sneak peek at the girls. They are awaiting their tulle skirts and embellishments. I'll be sure to keep you posted.
I actually posted earlier today to
announce Aimee as the winner of my giveaway. While I have a free moment, I couldn't help but post again. Thank you for indulging me! I'm not very good with will power these days -- dolls, posts, cookies -- what's a girl to do? Enjoy!
