Sybil in Spring


Wow, it has been such a long time since I last posted here.  Sorry about that!  Time is flying by, especially when you are busy.  I hope you all are happy and blessed.

I have made quite a few changes this year.  I didn't make any resolutions but made some goals instead.  No rules, just some things I wanted to do.  Lots of dolls have come and gone along the way.  I have tried some new ones and went back to some old ones.  But the ones who always seem to stay here are the ones dearest to me.  So it's all good!

This post is all about Sybil, my Izannah Walker Inspired doll that I commissioned last year.  She arrived July 24, 2017.   She has been here almost a year already!  I truly love this doll.  She is everything I ever wanted in a doll.   I love the subtle aging that really enhances her beauty.  I still marvel at how wonderfully made she is and how special each dress is made....all hand sewn, even the button holes!   I commissioned her to have a dress for each season and I hope to add to that someday.

 
This is the first time Sybil has worn her Spring dress.  And what a lovely dress it is!   She asked permission to show the decorative hem inside.  It matches the trim at the neckline, waist and sleeves.  Isn't it a nice touch? 
Even though it is Spring here and we have had some warmer weather, we have also had several cold snaps.  Sybil is happy to have a nice hand-knitted shawl on those chilly mornings and evenings.

Have you met Sybils' doll?   Her name is Hitty Sue.  Of course she wanted a Spring dress as well, so I had to find her one.  Sybil is so pleased.






Sybil wanted to take a turn around to show all of her dress and her lovely hair.   She is quite fond of her bonnet as well. 

Now she is ready to scurry off to play with Hitty Sue.  

I'm glad to finally do a little photo shoot of this sweet girl.   She is one of those little blessings that your heart desires, but you really do not believe it will happen until it really does.   It took lots of planning and lots of saving and she was worth it!

Until next time, and I hope it won't be so long.....

Be blessed!
