Hitty Dolls!

A few years ago, a wonderful friend who enlightens me on fun books and lots of other great things, told me about a neat book to read to my girls called Hitty, Her First Hundred Years.

We read the book and fell in love with the little doll. The girls and I wanted our own Hitty dolls so we could take them on adventures with us and write about her next hundred years. Well at least start the next hundred. I looked for Hitty dolls to purchase only to find that they are a little pricey and I didn't really love the way they looked. So of course I thought "I will make them myself." I have never carved before but I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the way they turned out. They are beautiful and personal to the girls. They love them. We have had so much fun with them and I have been working on them for a while. I was determined to finish the girls's Hitty dolls before Christmas. I did and it made Christmas with the dolls sooo much fun!

Here they are in progress. Introducing Hitty Belle and Hitty Emma.
