This is my mother-in-law, Elsie. Last week was her birthday. (I was going to post this earlier) She loves making dolls, and these are her latest. When she asked if I would take a photo (she was hoping she wouldn't be in the picture) of her dolls, since she didn't have a camera....well I borrowed one.
Rug Hooking has been her latest passion for over a year now. She cuts her own wool, often from clothes that she has bought from a thrift store. With these dolls, you can tell the color variety that was used to make up the face. (might need to click on the photo to enlarge) The clothes are also made out of wool, such as the pink dress made from an old Pendleton shirt...notice the collar?

oh man mom...you're going to make people hate you with a camera...
Janice, this is so fun to catch up on your family! Thanks for posting. Elsie's dolls are darling. And Elsie? She never ages. It's fun to see her.
Janice, I love Elsie's dolls, and I really like the "Love One Another" kitty picture in the background. Elsie looks the same as she did about 18 years ago.
