When Mom and I were at Craft Warehouse a couple of weeks ago, picking out fabric for my die cut giveaway, I saw a basket of little plastic baby dolls next to a book of knit patterns. It was absolutely something Grandma would have done.
And they reminded me of this little darling that Great Grandma made in the mid-50s.
She's one of those tiny plastic dolls they use on baby shower cakes. And she has a crocheted dress. And bonnet.
And panties!
I think she's just about the cutest thing ever, but I could be biased. And I never realized until I learned to knit myself how impressive making a dress an bonnet and panties for an inch high plastic doll is.

thats so tiny.xx
Talk about tiny!! And talent to be able to do that!! That little doll is adorable as well as her clothes! Happy VTT
I had one of those growing up, she also had a blanket and a bassinet made from the bottom of a dish soap container, they crocheted a skirt and hood? on it, and the skirt lifted up with a drawstring on it to make it like a little purse that contained it all and you wouldn't loose any of it. I have seen it around here sometime in the past 6 months while purging. I am sure my dads mom gave it to me, as she was the one always crocheting. Mine was pink and the bottom of the bassinet was white.
Wow...that is tiny!
Oh my goodness -- so tiny and sweet!! :)
How very cute! Such talent and patience to make a tiny dress with a matching bonnet and panties, too!
Teeny Tiny for sure! Thanx for coming to THThttp://www.frommyfrontporchtoyours.com/2012/10/treasure-hunt-thursday-80-highlights.html
