Your final masterpiece a rag doll: the ideal toy for little girls from the 1800's to the early 1900's!!! When my little girl saw this doll she asked why the doll was made out of fabric, as i proceeded to explain her little eyes grew big and i could only imagine the little thoughts that ran through her head. In the end she loved it even more than those toys bought at the department store because "mommy made it"!
