Boy dolly


Here is imperfect baby dolly boy! One would think that making a second would be easier... nope! I thought I had figured things out to make it easier but still cut out three arms before liking one enough to use it and his head is shaped a little oddly, kind of has ears which were not planned. I attempted shorts but they failed so a big square outfit seemed more boy than a triangle girl dress. His hair is short, his eyes are open, they actually were pretty good eyes until I leaned over him to unplug the sewing machine and then realized his eyes were now on my sleeve instead of his face (note the big wet spot near his eye where I tried to wipe it off). He's cute but far from perfect. But then again aren't we all. Our imperfections make us who we are, they shape us and form us and lead us through our lives and it is each of these imperfections that makes us unique. These imperfections which make us, well us.
