I must admit, I was really scared of trying to do her hair. But I realized the longer I put it off, the more likely it would end up a UFO (UnFinished Object). So I bit the bullet, found a great online tutorial about doing yarn hair on cloth dolls and just decided to try it. Worst case, I could get more yarn and start over, right?
But in the end, it worked and I think she looks great. I also sewing on her felt eyes (they had just been sorta sitting there before). And, I decided her name should be Mandy.
Next step, to make Mandy some proper undies and clothing!
Jane, Mandy is beautiful! I can't wait to see the final product! Good job!!!
Thanks for coming by today- we're the same age! I'm turning 45 next month. I appreciate your encouragement.

Oh yes, very successful hair! She definitely needs some undies though, especially with the weather turning.
