knitted underwear

written by Jen on Tuesday, March 7, 2006One Comment

I bought this sweet little doll today for $6.00 while out thrifting.  She is so sweet and I knew Emma would love her like I do.  I really like her little dress with the green check and little lovehearts with red detailing.  Her red knitted cardigan and booties complete the cuteness!

When I went to pay for her a lovely old lady who worked there came over to tell me that the doll was clean and she had taken her home to check her out herself.  I said, “You didn’t knit her lovely clothes did you?” and she was so proud to say that yes she had.  I thought that was so sweet.  She said she loves to take the dolls home and clean them up a bit and make sure they are okay for their new little owners.

When I got her home to have a proper look (”Mummy wants a turn, Emma!”) I found that she had the cutest little knitted underwear on as well!  And all this for just $6.00.

Just look at those knitted bloomers!  Am I the only one to get excited about a doll’s underwear?  Wait, let me rephrase that…

The lady in the shop also showed us that if you press the doll’s tummy she cries and also says Ma-ma and Da-da!  Emma can’t seem to press her little hands hard enough to make the noise so that upset her for a while - there were tears and some yelling at me to “make the noise Mummy!”

Here is a sneak peak at something I have just started work on…
