Over at Just Stuff they are taking volunteers to sew rag dolls for the children. I was so happy to be able to contribute in a small way to the great things that are being done over there. The thought of a child holding and hugging a doll that I made.. makes me all warm and fuzzy! :) My dream is to go to Africa one day and just sit and rock children from sun up to sun down..one day..:) Until then, I will just be happy knowing that I had a small part in bringing a smile and comfort to a child that needed it.
Here is a finished doll ( Gabbie named her Grace!)
Cut out and ready to made into dolls..I have a boy doll in the works!
If you sew, and would like to contribute dolls, please visit Just Stuff for information and to fill out a volunteer form. Lets make some children SMILE!! :)

How cool!!
Oh! thanks so much for sharing...what a wonderful project!!
Blessings!
She's SOOOO Cute!!! Can I add her to the Amazima doll gallery?
I would love for you to add her to the gallery!! I am so excited about this project!! I have a good friend that is making some too!! :)
I've added her! Thanks so much for helping and helping to spread the word! This whole project took on a life of it's own--it's been really amazing. I think people really want to help and just feel overwhelmed and don't know how to make an impact. This is something so small, but I think it will have a big impact on the kids themselves. Everyone needs something special just for them!
Based on the sign-up numbers, we've got the Amazima-sponsered children covered (YAY!), but they're going to share the dolls with local orphanages and other ministry groups depending on how many come in. :) I can't tell you how proud of everyone for jumping into this and making it possible!! :) Gotta love the internet!!!
Oh, you are inspiring me to make some dolls too.
I love "Grace." How did you make her face. I saw her on the Just Stuff site and had to know. I have never made a doll so these will be my first.
Thank you!! she was alot of fun to make.
Christina, I have only made a couple of dolls myself before, it's fun! for the face, I used fabric paint and painted it on. The dolls are fun to make,once you start, you'll keep making them!
