I have been creating cloth dolls for over 40 years. Back in High School my best friend liked Raggedy Ann, so I made her one as a Christmas gift. The rest is history! Now I am retired from teaching I am spending my time making dolls. Although I still make the traditional dolls, I also create others who are dressed in a variety of fabrics and themes. Always looking for a new outlet to sell my dolls. Guess one could say that I have stopped playing with dolls...and I love it!
