I would never normally show a customer order because not everyone wants their order on show but this little lady is for my Aunty Eileen and she won't mind. A few months ago they bought Ida, the name of my grandma and Uncle Stan's mother. He asked if I would make Ada, Aunty Eileen's mum to sit together with Ida. This is Ada and she had to have glasses because Mrs Mawdesly always wore glasses her whole life. I wanted to share her with you because I just love the glasses. After several abortive attemps of my own I asked my awfully clever daughter to help me out. She just had a quick look at the doll and turned out a wonderful pair of silver glasses made of wire that just fit so well. They show her eyes off and don't diminish them in any way and they provide such a neat solution, I am very happy and Aunty Eileen loves her. She is going to sit with Ida in her bedroom. I used a complementary fabric range to the previous doll, using the very pretty Japanese rabbit print but decided to make a different pattern of doll to Ida again so that they complemented each other and didn't match. I think they look quite good together.
