This is Abigail. I decided to name this site after her because she was the first doll that I assembled, dressed and wigged. She is 4" tall and was made from a kit, by Joy Parker of Swallowhill. Her kit name was Marguerite and I fell in love with her picture. The kit consisted of two arms, two legs, shoulders and a bald head with a hole in it. Included, were bits of ribbon and lace, pieces of fabric and leather, and a box with some wavy hair and long curls. Thank goodness, there were also patterns and instructions!

That was several years ago. Since that time, I've made Lauren, a thoroughly modern young lady, who I hope will one day have a house, complete with a husband and a baby. I've also tried my hand at making 1/4" scale dolls from polymer clay.

A prized possession is Emma (aka Emerald), one of Georgina Hanford Simmon-Gagnon's most beautiful dolls. Go take a look.

This site will also contain pages about dollhouses, miniatures and cats (believe it or not, they go together!)
