When my youngest son saw these dolls he said, "Oh Mom that's Hambrageorge Lincoln." Close enough son, close enough.
Why did I spend time making George and Abe dolls? Because I thought it would be funny to put bushy eyebrows and a beard on one of the dolls. AND Because my favorite day substitute teaching last year was in a 1st grade classroom that had been magnificently taught about these founding father's & totally impressed me with their knowledge! Now this year my son is in this classroom and these are for his teacher just for fun. I have never been above being a brown noser after all!
My mother in law is a huge St.Patrick day fan so these were inspired by her. Honestly I have been thinking of a reason to buy the rainbow stripe fabric for a while and this fit the bill! I have a few left for $15.
The really exciting part of my week was a custom order request for an a-list client. A nationally recognized Highland Games Athlete has commissioned me to make Highland Game dolls. I have been pleating mini kilts in my spare time this week and almost have some Highland Games dolls ready! In March the Women's World Championship will be in Phoenix AZ. Hooray!
