Our "It's Starting To Ho! Ho! Ho! Series" Doll Show

One of the main reasons the "dollies" and I love the holiday season is we can decorate. And, DECORATE we do. Our house is filled to the brim with Christmas decorations.

Most of the decorations that I display during the holiday season are my own designs. I'd LOVE to put some of the Christmas decorations that I made based on other designers patterns out, but I only have so much room.

So, the "dollies" and I thought a Christmas doll show would be a GREAT way to show you all the handmade dolls and woodcraft's I have made. They'd make GREAT decorations in your home, too!

Here's a re-cap of the participants:




If you'd like additional information on any of the above or you're interested in purchasing any of the above for decorating your home this holiday season just click on the picture above.

The "dollies" and I hope you have been enjoying our "It's Starting To Ho! Ho! Ho! Series" doll show.

Angelic Maggie For The "It's Starting To Ho! Ho! Ho! Series"

Angels not only come in all shapes and sizes, but all ages. It's time for a beautiful "senior citizen" angel to shine at the "It's Starting To Ho! Ho! Ho!" Series.

Get ready - it's Ho! Ho! Ho! time. Here's "Angelic Maggie."

Angelic Maggie is a 24" self-sitting cloth bodied angel doll with a black bead eyes, an embroidered and blushed face, and wispy white hair bundled at the top of her head. She has embroidered angel wings, a ribbon shawl, and an embroidered apron decorated with an embroidered heart, ribbons, and silk floral. Her dress is hemmed and accented with a lace overskirt. She has a matching pair of bloomers.

Angelic Maggie is no ordinary angel. She's a very special angel sent to watch over a very special group of individuals who are near and dear to her heart. Her task is to keep all the aging "baby boomer's" safe. She knows that it's a HUGE task as there are just so many of them out there, but she's up to it.

Angelic Maggie's charge is near and dear to her as she loves the "baby boomer" period and always wanted to be a flower child of the 1960's and 1970's. Alas, that was not meant to be so Angelic Maggie keeps a watchful eye on her "aging" population. A HUGE task for sure that Angelic Maggie can handle.

Angelic Marion For The "It's Starting To Ho! Ho! Ho! Series"

It's time for a very unusual angel to shine at the "It's Starting To Ho! Ho! Ho!" Series.

Get ready - it's Ho! Ho! Ho! time. Here's "Angelic Marion."




"Angelic Marion" might look like the sweetest angel you'd ever want to see, but she is anything but "angelic!"

She's as tomboyish as they come and loves to rough house it with the best of the boy angels. Of course, angels aren't supposed to rough house - at least that's what they've been told.

However, "Angelic Marion" doesn't think a little rough housing will hurt anyone. It's all on good fun. That is - good "angelic" fun!

"Angelic Marion" is a 12" primitive angel doll who is coffee stained throughout. She has a muslin body and embroidered face with black cross stitched eyes, embroidered nose with orange water color shadowing, and an outline embroidered mouth with orange water colored inside. Her eyebrows are embroidered and she has bright orange water colored and blushed cheeks. Her boots are made of lace trim.

Marion has a mass of cream mohair yarn hair glued all over her head. A gold halo hangs over her head.

She is wearing fringed bloomers that are gathered at the waist and legs. Her angel dress has a lace and ribbon trimmed center panel, lace trimmed sleeves and is gathered at the neck. There is lace trimming along the bottom hem of her dress and lace trimming around her neck. A lace ribbon is wrapped around her waist for a waistband.

Her angel wings are lined and lace trimmed along the edges and has a large lace ribbon bow on the back for decoration.

Despite her desire to rough house "Angelic Marion" is very conscious of her "angel" duties and does not take them lightly. She wants to prove that she can be "angelic" even is she is a bit of a tomboy!"

Sophisticated Gwen, Happy Molly Angel, and "Who Me? Angel Angela" For The "It's Starting To Ho! Ho! Ho! Series"

Angels, too, come in all shapes and sizes - even pixie. It's time for some adorable pixie angels to shine at the "It's Starting To Ho! Ho! Ho!" Series.

Get ready - it's Ho! Ho! Ho! time. Here's Sophisticated Gwen, Happy Molly Angel, and "Who Me? Angel Angela."



"Sophisticated Gwen", "Happy Molly Angel", and "Who Me? Angel Angela" are a very unusual group of angels. Very unusual indeed.

You see, they aren't at all alike. In fact, they are as different as, well - angels can be.

"Sophisticated Gwen" is the epitome of sophistication and style. She is very much in "vogue" and aware of the latest trends in fashion. Her special charge is to protect all the "high fashion models" out there. It's a big task as, let's just say, the "high fashion models" don't always behave themselves.

"Happy Molly Angel" could care less about fashion. In fact, style and fashion mean nothing to her. She'd much rather spend her day crafting up a storm and doesn't care if she breaks a nail or gets her hands messy. In fact, it doesn't even matter to her if her clothes get messy. Sometimes the messier the better. Her special charge is all the crafters out there. It's a tall order as there are millions and millions of them.

"Who Me? Angel Angela" isn't quite sure why she's here or what her special mission is. When asked to do something she inevitably answers "Who Me?" She's a shy as a mouse and doesn't have a lot of confidence. She's not sure that she's really good at anything in particular and isn't too sure that she'll be able to fulfill her mission. Her charge is all the shy people out there.



"Sophisticated Gwen" is a 5" wood doll pin angel. She has a painted gold painted wood body and flesh painted wood face. Her face is drawn and water colored shaded.

Her satin dress has a wired metallic ribbon overdress. She has a mass of loopy white doll hair along the sides of her head with the back left bald. There is a slim ribbon bow under her chin and she's carrying a small grapevine wreath decorated with thin ribbon and bows.

Designer - Linda Walsh Originals

"Sophisticated Gwen's" wings are made of a wired ribbon and tied in a bow in back.
