Misfit Dolls

                                         Q- Twins
                         (L) Quillan Edward (Eddie)
                         (R) Quillanne Elizabeth (Lizzie)

The Q-Twins were in inspiration for my dolls, Quillanne was my 1st
doll made and I just thought she was so sweet, visions of her twin
brother Quillan were made in my mind, but as it turned out, he was
actually my 4th dolls made... I love the names Quillan & Quillanne
so thus it belongs to these little lovely's.


These are my Misfits. (I hear the song in Rudolff the red nose raindeer,
 Why am I such a misfit).

 These dolls are each made by hand, each have their own character and
personality, each filled with love , and await the love of a child.

 They help teach your child that you are still of high value even with
all your imperfections. None of us are perfect, but we all need to be
loved.

 Some have flowers, X's, some of the legs might have different colored
feet, ears maybe, even or the same color, I make them as God leads,..
Fun to share

 I'm giving God all the Glory in this project of love,
(1 Corinthians 13:4-8b NIV - LOVE  NEVER FAILS)

*** NOTE:

creative juices begin to flow as you make this wonderful fun
doll to share with those you love... JMSQ 4/14/2015
