When Margo and Angie found their new home together, much fuss was made of them at work before they were on their way. As a result, I had a request from a different work colleague to make a doll for her. At first I was a bit wary as it was still before Christmas and the chances of me getting another doll together in time were very slim. However my colleague reassured me that the doll was not needed until after the holiday period so I had time on my hands. This evening Caroline was finished, a week before her deadline.
Caroline did not have her own name until the very last minute. I suspect that was somewhat due to the order that I put her together. Usually I attach the limbs and then add the face and it is at this stage that the creations start to develop their character and I start dispensing hugs and names. Poor Caroline had her clothes before she was finished as there was a possibility that Beloved B and I would go away in the camper and I would need to have the machine work done and keep the hand work for the evenings while we were away. We did not go away after all but this creation had a face while she was still just a body and the limbs were the last things attached.
I was swinging towards Esther but Beloved B thought that she looked more like a Caroline. He likes to feel involved, so Caroline she is.
Tomorrow, Caroline will come to work with me so she can go to her new home.
