Mia turned 4 on the 3rd of March.
Her special present was "Sally", made by Jenny from www.littlejennywren.blogspot.com
Sally is a beautifully made doll with exquisitely made little clothes. If you look close you can see the gorgeous little cable and bobble pattern on her jumper.
This has prompted more requests from Mia for matching clothing, as some of Sally's clothing has been made from fabrics I have used in making Mia's clothing.
I love that Mia is happy to wear whatever I make, and the majority of her wardrobe is made by myself, and most of her knitwear made by my mum.
I remember a beautiful, red corduroy pinafore with strawberries transfered on the front brace made by mum. Also a coat, not sure if it was patchworked or not but it had lots and lots of colours. Always reminds me of the story pf Joseph and his coat of many colours.
But what sticks in my memory the most was a fairisle jumper knit for me when I was 12. Obviously outgrown it now, but I remember the undyed nature of the wool and the faint lanolin smell.

Happy Birthday Mia!
I can't believe she is four already!
making loved items for her special doll is just so so special. Mia is one very lucky girl!
I actually loved this doll when Jenny made her, was so excited to see all the clothes she made for her. As a dollmaker myself I know how exciting and daunting it is when you have to make a big set for a doll, but in reality it is such a welcomed challenge: to be able to spend a LOT of time on one a doll is a blessing. You truly create a bond :-) I am so so very happy to know she is your daughter's doll :-)
