A fairy for a good cause

Clearly, I need to work on my photography.  Here is a wingless fairy (a nymph perhaps?) who(m?) I made to donate to an auction.

One of my friends and co-workers organizes an annual 'Day of Craft" where a group of crafty gals get together in a beautiful historic house and spend the day crafting, eating and catching up with each other.  This ranks high on my list of favorite days of the year.

As part of the fun she arranges some kind of charitable project and this time it was an auction of hand-crafted items to benefit the in-patient psych unit of a local hospital.  This doll was my contribution to the auction.

Lisa (the craft day organizer) spun the yarn for the hair.  Can you see how awesome it is?

Another doll

Well that has to be just about the worst doll picture ever taken, and it shows an unflattering view of my incredibly cluttered sewing desk, but here is another doll I made.  You probably can't tell in this (terrible) picture, but she's wearing a hospital gown (the girl who received her had just been in the hospital herself) which turned out cute and was about the easiest ensemble I ever sewed.

I'm currently working on a doll for a charity auction this weekend.  She has some special hair which I will show after the auction--I don't want to reveal the surprise yet.

I'm going to be vending at the GoWest Craft Fair in West Philly in April so I'll be trying to get a batch of dolls made by then.
