A doll is born.

Hello! My name is Molly (for now). I am going to visit a lady who is a little bit old, and she likes fancy names like Arabella, so I may get a new name, which will be fun. :>}. She is lonely because her husband is resting in Heaven and can't live with her anymore. Her children visit often, but she's still lonely when she's by herself. Having a cheerful person like me around is just what she needs!
My dress has two sides, and they both have ric-rac on them. We dollies like ric-rac on our dresses.

Jodie made the pattern, and her blog name is Ric-Rac, so she must like ric-rac a lot, too! I haven't got my cardigan yet, but it's summer so I won't be needing it for a while. Do you think my arms stick out too much? They are supposed to look like a big hug for the lady who is a little bit old.

This year the hydrangeas are low on foliage and high on flowers. Nice!
