I know you already have 113 comments but I just have to add to the praise: Ruby has indeed captured my heart! She is adorable, and perfect in every way. You completely amaze me. How in the world do you make a little yarn, some fabric & stuffing look so alive?? We might have to invent a new word b/c soooooo sweeeeeet just doesn't say enough. ;-)
hello, Can I say for the 115 time that she is soooo cute. I have been staring at the pictures for about 15 min and I still can get my mouth closed hihi.
Okay so I left a comment ages ago, but I keep coming back to these pictures of little miss Ruby. And holy crap 117 comments. We are begging you and will pay dearling please will you sell us the pattern:)You would make a fortune!!
Oh. My. Goodness.
That first picture actually made me terribly sad for her!
I'm not a fan of stuffies... or dolls for that matter, but Ruby is perfect. The story... perfect. The styling... yes, perfect!
OMG! I've been lurking here for months and am bursting with envy over your amazing creations, this one has literally made me pop with excitement, she is just perfect,you are the most talented person I've ever come accross,please,please will you give us a Ruby tutorial?
There can't be enough praising comments on Ruby... She really is the little girl from the black-and-white-photography you showed us the other day. A masterpiece, how you managed to mirror the charm of the old picture.
My little daughter (veeerrry short hair right now) saw her on the screen and was in love, immediately.
I think all of my 4 boys took a swipe of the scissors on their bangs when they were about 3 or 4. It usually happens about the time you are planning a family picture. Cute doll and story!
you are so talented, even my Mum logs on to see what you are doing next after an article in an embroidary mag - we both think you're the best on the web - please do a book and save Ruby for it!!
There is nothing to add I lurk ...um I mean visit your Blog almost daily I love your work and Ruby is well adorable (I know you might not be able to share the pattern for her ) but may I ask how big is she I would like to make the dress for a doll I have planned for my niece and that info would be wonderful
Once again WONDERFUL JOB (man I wish I had a girl)
What an incredibly cute, adorable, and "wish I had one when I was a little girl" -doll you have made! You make the dollmaking look so easy with this "clean & simple" look.
Wish it was!
Just wanted you to see the link I made to this entry on my own blog. :) I've also added your blog to my list of favourites. You are wonderfully creative -- thanks for the inspiration!
Just had to say I love Ruby. Her face is exquisite and her hair is perfect!! Does she have any friends? Can't wait to meet them! I've added you to my blog favourites.
I read your little story featuring Ruby to my boys...they (and I) loved it. My son (6) said, "Oh, I like that. I like how she made a story out if it..." And he definitely thought Ruby would be sad that she cut her hair. :)
Hi Lynn, you constantly inspire me to craft for those I love. So I add my voice to those requesting a pattern for the most beautiful Ruby - there are little girls out there who need her! And aunties who need to make her. Thanks for all your wonderful work and for sharing it all.
Ruby is so darn cute! She looks like she would be great friends with some of my girls(http://prudencepouts.typepad.com/), but I feel they might be too jealous of her shoes.
i am just completely in love with your ruby, i live in the netherlands maybe it is possible to buy or swap the pattern of this doll,
maybe you like somethings from here.
i think you would be in love with some birdy teacups we sell here
love and greetings from wendy
I am dying of cuteness!!!!!! You are a genius, Lyn!
