Thanks Linda - it was a bit of an experiment but it turned out better than I thought it might. I think making the clothes would take longer than the bear itself so I'm glad I still had the dolls clothes my mum knitted for me all those years ago.
I used to take great delight in naming the dolls of my childhood and remember them all. Maureen, Elizabeth and Joanna and a bear called Christopher. I hasn't thought of a name for this bear but I rather like Lucinda so Lucinda it is. xx
Oh, she's so lovely. Those ears, and the facial expression are making me swoon. How nice that you still have the beautiful doll clothes your mother made. This post cheered me so much, I may just bookmark it for days when I need a smile. Thank you.
She is precious! Love her sweetest face... How truly amazing is that you and your Mum collaborated, Jayne - a very, very deeply touching thought... Hugs! xxx
Boo, my comment just disappeared, bloody Blogger... I said - your little bear is such a cutie. She has a rather sad expression, but I like it. And her little frock made by your mum is the perfect touch. xxx
It's lovely, so cute! Linda xx

DeleteOH she is so sweet! I love her! Does she have a name? I have just named her Lucinda in my head. Does that horrify you?

My dolls and teddies all had names too. I even named my ex's car when we were first dating. I like names.
