Kate & Kompany

I am a proud mama...my youngest daughter (11 years old) stitches the most character-filled dolls and has since she was seven.  This is a peek at Antoinette - she's based on Marie Antoinette and is apparently quite spoiled, and, of course, well-dressed.  The thing that I find the most fascinating about my daughter Kate is that she knows what she wants her dolls to look like and knows who they are, handmade, a little rustic, without arms and raw edges on the fabric, reminiscent of dolls we've seen in many of the heritage villages we've visited over the years.  At that age I was so insecure...and sometimes I still am.  Unsure, afraid to share my work with the world.  And my daughter is so confident.  What I would give to have that all of the time.  You can view her work on her blog at http://kateandko.blogspot.com
