bonjour!

Lela sits on a bench and admires all that good 'ole Paris has to offer...

Grand cafes, Parisian flea markets, and glorious sites...
Then, she comes home to True and tells her the magnificent stories of her adventures.

Made of linen, wool felt, and some left over scraps, Lela's got a couple quirks. In my haste to make a True a new friend, her little bun was a bit lopsided, but she looks cute and simple, better than I imagined. Plus, quirky is always a good thing, it just makes things more special. I like her more that way. 

Plus, True loves her and that is all that matters.

    That is very cute, and even better that she is loved. I have made a handmade doll and my daughter has been given an awesome one and I even bought a really cool one in Africa for her and she still prefers the plastic headed wal-mart baby. Well done!
