A Birthday For a Three Year Old

The birthday girl has finally settled down for the night and, I think it's safe to say, boy, it's great to be three! She tried to shimmy out of my bed quickly this morning but then the sister rushed in and there were presents and a birthday crown and the day just started out right for her.  photo 1-IMG_5247_zps07f03f7d.jpg
What a sweet, happy-go-lucky girl we are blessed with and what a happy day she had. She's been singing 'Happy birthday to meee!!' all day. So excited!

I don't know... not sure if she loves her dolly or not...

I mean, what do you think? She said "she can talk and she can play peek-a-boo!". Seriously, this is why I love making dolls. I'll share some better pics of her tomorrow.

But being three doesn't make her any less mama's baby. Just look at that tummy, will  ya? I just want to eat her up!
 photo 1-IMG_5294_zpsc224e478.jpg The birthday is not completely over yet. My parents will come over tomorrow with the bed my dad made for her doll and we'll have homemade pizza, as she's requested, and the cake, of course.

Be sure to check back in with me tomorrow. I'll post better picture of the rag doll and will have progress pics of the giveaway doll, too. Have you entered yet? Only two more days!

Happy birthday to the beautiful 3 year old! Such wonderful gifts for a wonderful girl. Yes, the matching sweaters are FAB. (I'm just finishing up my second In Threes Cardi today - a lovely pattern.)

Happy Happy Birthday Dear One.
What a precious age. I am a stay at home gramma who daycares for my 3 granddaughters 9, 8, and 6 and for my "just like" grandchildren 4, 3, 1 and waiting on the new baby. Your beautiful like girl looks like her 3rd birthday was a HUGE success. The look on her face as she looks at her new doll. It doesn't get any better than that.
Your dolls are just fabulous. My 4 girls would go crazy for your baby dolls. Actually, the 2 little boys would love them, too. You are a very talented artist. Also, the sweater is beautiful.

nice post. impressing writing skills…keep going your work….thanks for your great info. i just bookmarked your blog and will surely visit your blog whenever i get time. I like to party, and by "party" I mean "make dolls”. Become a dollmaker, there are NO limits to your awesomeness, you can create anything you can imagine and more! With joy in every task and whimsy in our hearts, I are the Dollmakers, it is WHO i am.
Plush dolls have a lovely soft skin. Inside of them also is full of polyester or artificial cotton that one can use that as a pillow. If I want define plush doll in many sentences I can say, true selection of fabric for skin, correct design for patter and then fill it by best material like polyester. Of course I written an article about plush doll making in DaliDel that you can see it here: http://dalidel.com/عروسک-نمدی/
I start making dolls because it pleases us, i continue to make dolls because i want to please you. The doll making journey begins decades before you even know it, by gathering a lifetime of seemingly unrelated skills, which one day collide, causing complete and total harmony!
