I highly recommend Raggedy Ann's Wishing Pebble both as an addition to any Raggedy fan's library and as a wonderful gift for a child.

Here is an idea for making sturdier patterns that last longer.

I received a question this week from a reader about cleaning her doll's hair, so I thought I would address this issue in an article. The short answer to how you should clean your doll's hair is: it depends!

As I looked at my doll collection it occurred to me that I have a lot of equipment for them that isn't specifically intended for dolls. My family is used to this and accepts it as part of my "eccentricities" and doesn't question. But I was wondering how many of you also have such a collection.

Well, I'm at it again. It seems, when you are known as a maker and collector of dolls, that forgotten, unwanted dolls just somehow find their way to you.

This ebook includes patterns and instructions for six outfits plus underwear and accessories. Outfits include Spring Holiday Dress for American Girl Dolls as well as a dress for slender 18 inch dolls, bloomers, slip, bag, jewelry and scarf with hat.
