Who knew I would become inducted into the secret society of Blythe. One day I started looking at images on Flickr telling my husband “I love looking at them but doubt I will ever buy one”. Three days later I am completely convinced I need one and am emailing sellers over seas and picking out doll names.
Well, my first and most beloved girl is named Lulu after Louise Brooks. I cut her hair into a bob (which actually makes her look more starlingly like me as well).
She was the inspiration to get me to pick up that crochet hook again. Lucky me found a perfect 1960’s doll dress pattern and with a little trial and error had all the kinks fixed from this pattern. The result is this beautiful little form fitting doll dress that has a perfect dolly poof to the skirt. I think it has really helped my crochet skills making me anxious to try more!

I used to have a doll like that! me and my sisters did. I have moved so many times over the years that mine has been lost. I loved that doll.. the freakiness of those huge eyes!

from my childhood.. My mom bought all of us girls one. I wish I hadn’t lost it. We have moved 18 times in the last 17 years.. It is a wonder I didn’t lose everything!
