Spring Fling dolls


Look what came in the mail.

I belong to a yahoo group called Decidedly Different Dolls and we have challenges and swaps. This was a Spring Fling swap. I thought at first that she was a tulip and called her Tulip girl but then I looked closer and thought that perhaps her maker, Therese, made her as a Rose. So, I asked Therese which one was she. Here's what she said, "She started from a rose pattern, but I think her finished look is more tulip and I was inspired by a yellow and red tulip in my garden. So I'll name her Tula." All swaps are to be 4 or 5 inches in height and Tula is exactly 4 inches.

This is Sunny. I made her for Brenda but shhhhh - I don't know if she received her yet. Little Sunny has a worm that she caught. She has to keep up her strength since she is expecting twins.


This is Sunny's nest. On the left is the inside of her nest and the right shows the outside.


Here's Sunny's back view. She stands at 5 inches on her own. If she is sitting in her nest, she is a bit taller.

  6. Tula the tulip rose is so pretty! I love how she started out as a rose and the maker ended up making her like a tulip from her garden.
    Your little owl in its nest is very cute too!
