Mary Ann sent these photos and I did not get them published. Hope you enjoy. Vicki

Here are some photos from Mary Ann Gies a distributor in Greeley, CO. She has had a lot of fun from the looks of it. Vicki

I finished my "winkie" baby and he is ready to go traveling to be "viewed." I think he's an extrovert so he won't mind showing off. I dressed him in lime green knitted hat and booties. The booties have a yellow bow and then I cut a onsie in half and satin stitched the neckline, sleeves and the bottom in lime green and added a bow. Just added his little diaper. He's such a lilttle hottie. i think the ladies will love him and hope to get some orders. He will start off Here in Greeley first then he will travel to Denver and then on to Texas. So we will see how is debut goes and will let you know. Mary Ann

I love getting photos of dolls that you all have made. Here is one from Italy, that Elisa sent to me. She did a wonderful job. -Vicki

Hi Vicky! I'm Elisa from Trieste ( Italy) and this is my first "My Kid" doll.I enjoyed a lot making and dressing her. I am mother of two children,two boys and this is my first "girl".I hope this will be the first but not the last!Thanks for your wonderful pattern,best regards,Elisa

Vicki, This is the newest addition of my collection. I made Cindi from your Leslie pattern & CD that you sent me this week. She was so much fun to make. Your PDFs are so awsome. The best I have seen!

I am so pleased to hear such comments. Your doll is so cute, look at that face! I love the pastel colors and the hair is awesome. LOVE this clown.

Vicki

I love to hear about how helpful the DVD is and Terra has proved so in this wonderful doll that she has made. - Vicki



Thank you Vicki. I would be honored to have her on your blog. She and my future dolls are a 10 year dream come true. Were it not for your excellent step by step DVD's and oh so simple patterns, it would not have been
possible for me to do this. I know this for a fact as I have purchased
many books, patterns, videos, etc without any success until now. I am more than just a satisfied customer, I am a customer whose dream you have helped come true.
Thanks for your excellent work.
Isn't she just the cutest?

Vicki,
Here is the Ballarena doll I made from your pattern. How Cute! I made this for my Husband's Daughter, she is a beautiful red head and has been taking Ballet, but she is also quite a tomboy, so I thought the camo ballet outfit would be fitting.
feel free to share with others...I love making your dolls!

Jennifer House

Such a cute little ballerina made by one of my wonderful distributors. She is doing a great job.

I will never get any work done now and its all your fault. I received the dinky baby Christmas pattern yesterday. I am making them for small gifts for some friends and package toppers for my family, I do have a small shop but may not have any extra for it. one problem was my niece collects angels and doesn't go much for Santa's. Last night as I was putting together a white doll I put a little piece of long fur for hair and I had some metal wings that have a hook to hang and a halo attached. I tied that to her and added a gold star to her hand. She now hangs above my sewing machine until I put her on my nieces package. thought you might like to hear of another variation to your so sweet dolls. I love them and can't wait to make some more tonight

Barb sent me this idea and I wanted to share it with all of you. Sounds like she is getting into making babies!

Squirt went to Nascar with his Uncle Coyt. He had a great time and was cheering for his favorite driver Dale E. Jr. Squirt gets around!

See what Lee is doing!
Hi Vicki,

Please find attached a picture of Macy. She was started yesterday evening and completed tonight. She was made from your 24 inch kid pattern and I am very pleased with the finished doll. I have never made a doll so this is my first one and its going to my niece for a Christmas present. Maybe I can be an inspiration to other men to have a go and make a Dinky Baby for their loved ones.

All the best Lee - Warrington, United Kingdom.


Yes ladies, Lee is a man. This should be a great encouragement, anyone can make a DinkyBaby. Lee, you did a fantastic job. How lucky your niece is to have a wonderful uncle like you.

Hi Vicki,
Phew...I am barely ready for my bazaar tomarrow, but I wanted to share some of my babies that will hopefully get adopted and have new mommies.
Feel free to share on your Blog. I am so excited and nervous at the same time.

Jennifer,
You have been one busy lady. You are doing great and your babies are beautiful.
Vicki

This is a story you want to read. I have no idea what you are all doing out there, but this is a dandy.

Dear Vicky;
For several years, my parents’ RV Group have had a pair of adult cloth dolls that are passed among the members annually. The members who have the dolls traveling with them keep a journal in the doll’s voice about their adventures. It seems that last year on a trip to Alaska, ‘Monica & Bill’
got frisky and ended up pregnant! The pregnant couple with baby due in October, was passed to my Mom’s good friends Jane & Don. Jane & Don were having a challenging time finding a ‘baby’, when they shared their delema with Mom. We’re ‘crafty’ folks and were sure we could find or create a pattern. We searched the Internet and were delighted to come across your pattern for the Itty Bitty Dinky Doll through a cloth doll website. We had great fun creating the tiny baby that was to be born on Halloween. (My mom knit the baby hat out of embroidery floss!) When Jane & Don saw ‘Punkin’, they were thrilled. They sent baby announcements to all their RV pals – Dinky Dolls creating smiles!
We just wanted to say thank you for sharing your ideas & talents. I’m making Dinky Dinky Dolls for my 1-year-old grandbabies and just ordered a ‘Tommers’ pattern to make for my nephew. We’ve shared a lot of giggles already! I’m attaching pictures of ‘Punkin’, my mom Donna & me with the traveling family, and Monica & her new one. So Cute!
With Joy,
Barbara

Keep them coming, I love to know what you are all doing out there.

Vicki

Hi Vicki-
here is my newest baby from the Baby Belle pattern. Oh... and Speck arrived today in Indiana. He must have jumped in the mailbox when you weren't looking :)
Thank You!!!
Julie Oaks



Thank you for sending these adorable pictures. Julie, your babies are beautiful.
Vicki

I have to tell you what a fun experience it was to be on TV. I brought my sister with me just for moral support. It was fun waiting and watching. I set my dolls up and waited to be interviewed. This was LIVE. As the host came in, I asked him what do you know about dolls? He said he would “wing it”. This is a picture of my sister, Bobbi and I infront of the 3 T.V. sign.

”. The cameraman came in and boom, we on live. It was so easy and fun. I made a doll for the host, Olivia and a black Speck doll for the weatherman, Brad. My Speck doll was on the T.V. with Brad Perry the weatherman. What a "Ham" Speck can be. My segment went from my interview into the weather. What fun. They want me back in December. Yippy!

Hi Vicki,
Well here is Kimmy, Bridgets BIG sis....I got to tell ya I had a hard time choosing hair color..so played it safe ....I'm starting to figure out how to change the faces..so can't wait to try my next one! Thanks again sooo much for this pattern..got 3 more in the works! Cathy ; }

I am so impressed with Cathy. Aren’t her dolls the cutest you have ever seen? I would love to see the dolls that you have made. Please email me with pictures.
Vicki

Hi Vicki!
Well I have made my first lil' Speck...It was so much fun! To be honest I thought I could not do it...because it was such tiny work..but I was totally surprised how easy it was. Kinda nice too cause you can take lil' Speck anywhere while working on him...Can't wait to make more! Thanks for this wonderful pattern! Oh my lil' speck would love to be on your blog.....Cathy ; }


Cathy,
You did a great job. I do appreciate seeing all your great work.

Vicki

I just had to show you two dolls of my own. I am talking about real live dolls. This is my granddaughter Liz ready for her first high school dance. I think her mother (my daughter Ann) was a little more nervous. We had a ball today, doing girly things, getting hair done, nails and all that fun stuff. It takes all day getting ready! Oh, how I remember the ole days gone by! It is hard to tell these two apart.

Hey Vicky,

It's Sarka from Australia. Im only made one dolly from your Lil Beth pattern but kept her as a baby cause she kinda looked like your babies so I wanted to send you a picture and say Thank You. I used fleece here too.

One more picture of this cute guy! Are you green yet? Isn't he just the cutest thing? Vicki

More DinkyBabies from YOU!!!!!!!

Here are Julies creations, she is on track, great job. Look at her little green guy, does he make you green with envy?

Vicki

Hi Vicki-
I know you like getting pics of dolls we have all made so thought I would send pics of these two. The red head is the Lil' Beth pattern. The moss green boy is the 24 in kid. He will have a twin. Why I chose green you ask??? LOL. It is fleece and I got a remnant to see what they would turn out like with this fabric. Just an experiment...LOL. I need to work on the sculpted noses!! :)
Julie Oaks

One of my very favorite doll making friends sent me some pictures of her real dolls and of her DinkyBaby dolls.

This is what she had to say,

"Just thought I would send some pics of my first two Dinky Babies. Thank you for the wonderful patterns. It has given me an outlet while my husband is deployed. And my children love them too.

Michelle

Michelle's husband has been depoloyed to Iraq. She has 3 children. 2 Girls and 1Boy.

Alexandria is 11, Johnathan is 6, and Jasmine is 3. See the picture of the them.

We had a great time in Costa Mesa, CA at Piecemakers. The weather was beautiful and the people were wonderful. My sister and I drove from Arizona to California on Friday morning. We had a some great sister time and while she shopped at the Peddlers Market, I talked with potential DinkyBaby students.

I will be going back to Piecemakers in Oct. to teach a beginner class and then again in Nov. to teach how to make Lil Beth. I look forward to taking a trip to California quite often.

I had a great time on Saturday, baby shower for my new grandnephew. I created my Meekee Babee pattern just for the occasion. I love this pattern and how it turned out, the mother to be also loved the doll I made. It is the one pictured. I wanted him to look like a bear.

I just love getting pictured of doll that you have made. Here is another cute one made by my friend Dorothy from the UK. I believe she used the 14 inch newborn pattern for this doll. She added a little curl and made it her own. Great job Dorothy.

Dear Vicky just thought you would like to see one of the babies that I have made; I added a little curl to the top.
Love Dorothy United Kingdom
