I couldn't resist, they're so cute!

Well I couldn't resist...

I've just added 3 more lovely Hearts4Hearts Dolls to my doll family.

Mosi, Shola, Lauryce Hearts4Hearts Dolls

3?! I know, but I couldn't resist. These 2 came by way of Amazon; I wanted
Rahel, and have been looking for a reasonably priced one of her.

Shola from Afganistan, Mosi from New Mexico

I was on Target's website and saw she was in stock. Ha! Not true, when they add stock for these dolls, all of the dolls come as a group, so there's no individual stock number for each doll. Their site showed stock for Rahel, but in actuality, it could have been 1 of any doll. I was with my granddaughter, and when I couldn't find Rahel, she said, "let's go to another store and find her, they don't have the one you want."

Lauryce hearts4hearts doll from New Orleans

        But I saw Lauryce, and said to my grand, "Oh, I think I'll just get this one." Her response, "yeah, yeah, (shaking her head) - just get this one."

So now we have 3 more of these cute dolls. Their faces, and eyes are so adorable!

                                

I took the feather out, and twisted a few pieces of her hair.

I was real curious about whether they gave her long hair under the wrap.

  
        










They'll all be seen forever more in my CelenaLei pieces.

Meet My New additions!

 Isn't she the cutest - Marietta (I call her).
She's a Heart4Heart Doll. She can fit 14" doll clothes with little adjustments.

                                                                           This is Sammi; she's Heart4Heart Doll too!

These dolls are 14" and are easy to pose. Their fully jointed. 

Each doll has a set of bracelets and earrings! 

At first sight, my 3 year old granddaughter exclaimed, "She so beauuuutiful!" 

   

Each doll is specific to a certain country;

 Marietta, is from Mexico City, and Sammi from the Appalachian Mountains of Kentucky. 

We'll have lots of fun sharing tips and finds with you for these dolls.

In the making

I've noticed that some darker color fabrics stain the body of these dolls. Working with different denims - I've come to realize not all stain; but to prevent (just in case), line the leg of pants or sleeve arms to keep the doll clean. Just cut the pattern of the leg again in light weight fabric (lining or even muslin).
Come back to see the finished overalls. My daughter wants me to make her a pair now!
