Hi!
I created this blog to share my love of dolls and crafting. I've always loved hand-making things. Knitting is my main hobby, but I also love crocheting, embroidering, and sewing as well as implementing it all into my knitting.
I've made clothes for dolls as long as I remember myself holding a scissors and needles. But there were different periods in my life for designing and crafting for dolls. Right now is the best of all these periods because I have fully realized that it is what I love and want to do, I can buy any tools and fibers that I need, and I have time and a lot of ideas. :)
Recently, I started collecting Sasha Morgenthaler Dolls. I also have a few childhood dolls, AG and mini AG dolls, and some other dolls that I think you will see posts of.
My love for Sasha Morgenthaler Dolls started in 2010 when I bought this doll in a thrift shop. She is not a Sasha Doll, her name is Sacha.
I still don't know who made her; I never found much information about the company that produces her. She has a tag that says she's a Sacha doll, by A Dynasty Doll. But I am not sure if the tag belongs to the right doll or not. If anyone knows who made her, or which doll she is, I would love to have that information.
So when I searched for this Sacha doll, I found a lot of pictures and information about Sasha Morgenthaler dolls instead. I had never seen Sasha Morgenthaler dolls before and I was almost instantly intrigued.
Nikki Kenohan's blog was the first place that introduced me to the Sasha world. I was amazed by her knitting for Sasha dolls, her stories and pictures. I've found a lot of people all around the world who love and collect these dolls, and I was dreaming of owning at least one Sasha doll myself.
My dream came true, completely unexpectedly, around three months later. :)
Meet my dolls...
I found my first Sasha doll in a thrift shop. I couldn't believe my eyes. The doll was bald, she was in good condition, but played with. I bought her and she's stayed with me ever since.
She is a Velvet, 1981, Limited Edition doll. Her name is Sophie. She has a wig now and models a lot of the clothes I knit.
My second doll is a baby Sasha doll (a 510 Baby Denim Playsuit Brown hair) that I received as a Christmas gift from my friend.
He is a boy and his name is Telesyk.
Here is translation of the fairy tale from which he got his name, if anyone is interested in reading about it.
He is one of the denim boys with dark blue sweaters, but I have to do more research to find more specifics. I did not plan to buy him, it just happened. I wished for a long time for a sporty boy, but they were out of reach for me. I will have to find out which one he is. He came undressed and from a home that had smokers in it. But after a few baths and a little fresh air, he is feeling much better. He has a very sweet face (and I've already made a soccer uniform for him that I will post later :).
The most recent doll that I've bought is a Sasha Harlequin.
She is in mint condition. She is the only one that has everything; her box, certificate, and all the accessories. Her name is Ivanna/Ivana/Ivanka. When I was small I never liked this name, but I love it now.
And the last pictures for today are pictures of my Sasha family together.
Next time, I'll be posting pictures of some of the things I've knitted for my dolls.
