Hello,
I began collecting dolls when I was 1. I didn't know it was a collection then. I just knew I loved my babies. At 5, I got a Uneeda Bob doll that was about 26 inches tall. Oh I loved him!When I was 6 I got my first Madame Alexander Wendy-kins doll, then a Muffie, and teenage Jill and her boyfriend, Jeff.There were many others, but these became my favorites. Later Uneeda made a teenage 11 inch Bob doll and Jill got a new boyfriend! I thought they needed new clothes and bought my first pattern when I was only 10. Mom helped me. My passion for dolls continues, and I love making things. Over the years I have had MANY hobbies. I have made jewelry, quilted, took Wilton cake frosting classes, made silk flower arrangements, and made sugar eggs to sell at a local gift store one Easter. I made about 2 dozen bears and about 1 dozen cloth dolls. I sewed most of my own clothes for high school and college, as well as my own wedding dress and the dress for my bridesmaid. I still like to stay busy. Some days I sew on the machine. Other times I crochet. Evenings I sometimes hand sew or make flower arrangements or decorate hats. We are also down-sizing and I am selling things from my own estate.

Now I am a retired teacher and I am still passionate about dolls. After selling many of my doll collection, I am sewing for them and selling more dolls and doll clothes on eBay. I sew using the vintage patterns, altering patterns and embellishing them. I can't do this full time, as I still have family to care for. My mom has Alzheimer's and I am her custodian. My aunt has dementia and I am in charge of her property. My husband of 40 years still works, so I am the home-maker and gardener. We live at 6,500 feet -- over a mile high in Colorado Springs. The Sky's the Limit has meaning for me because if you can imagine it, you can hope for it and work for it , and maybe it will be blue skies all the way!
