Anna and Alina, First Dolls of the New Year

Can I wish everyone a very happy, peaceful and successful New Year.  We have just had a lovely family Christmas and I am getting ready for an exciting 2014.  Already had an enquiry for Valentine's Day!  These little girls are my first dolls of the New Year.  Anna is twelve inches tall and is stuffed firmly, she has a hand painted face, with hand embroidered eyelashes and eyebrows.  Her hair is hand styled and stitched in coordinating wool tops.  She is dressed in winter blues and greys and she wears ribbons and hand stitching.  She has a little hand stitched and embellished heart on her tummy.  Alina is eight inches tall and like her sister is dressed and embellished in winter blues, greys and ribbons.  They sit nicely together and will make lovely companions for a bed or a comfy chair.  Love the fabrics, they were a gift for Christmas and come form the Tilda range.  I've used them once before and would recommend them to all.  They are quite expensive but come in a great range of colours and coordinating patterns.
