Thanks, purplemoon & luckygal...no, she doesn't have a name...I just call her "Babydoll"...you're good at naming, PM, I remember lynn's brass deer being named "India." Got a good one for Babydoll??? LG...no candy...those are dotted eggs are painted wood...had them for some time...cute little ones! Hope you do decide to play with your dolls! I said before I am not a doll person...but you all got me going with this holiday inspiration stuff! LOL!!! I emailed my SisInLaw & told her I would never make fun of her dressing her 2 fur-babies! LOL! Anywho, thanks for the comments! Think spring (and I am totally jealous that you are gardening, LG!)...and PM...that it's 70 deg. Ugh! Jeanne S.

I have a book "Patterns for Making Amish Dolls and Doll Clothes" by Rachel Pellman and jan Steffy. It is a 200+ page soft cover book that has patterns for both 20" and 12" dolls, adult and child dresses, adult apron, adult cape, childs apron Adults and childs covering, bonnets, slip, panties, shoes, shirts, plain coat, pants, vest, hat, nightshirt, boxer shorts plus a mini doll and all it's clothes. These are very close to authentic Amish clothing. The cover price on the book is $12.75 but I just checked at www.half.com and there's one there for $1.49!!! I'm pretty sure it's has to be the same book. It's the same authours, same copywrite date (1987) and gives a list price of $14.95. (I've had mine for quite awhile) I made several dolls from it and it's a very nice book.

I have had a lot of you guys reach out to get the cabbage patch doll pattern from me, I am so sorry I have not been able to get it to anyone until now. I am going to enclose the link here for anyone to get it, you will need to download each photo that you want, meaning the file has the entire book, so if you just want the patterns just download those pics. Good Luck yall! Click on the words "Cabbage Patch Doll Patterns" it is an embedded link. Cabbage Patch Doll Patterns

They are so adorable...
