Another piece of my childhood. I am note sure of the date of these LITTLE WOMEN paper dolls, late 1960's or early 1970's. Meg, Jo, Beth, Amy and Laurie are ready to play.
When I was a little girl, I loved my paper dolls. I played with them a lot but luckily I took very good care of them so they have survived to be used today! I recently did a post on decorating with sentimental things. My paper dolls are very sentimental so I have used some of them in my decor. I had a set of paper dolls that were a wedding party. I had 2 old frames that I took apart, using just one frame and the glass from both frames, and I sandwiched the dolls between the glass. I framed the dolls as they were (in their undies) and added an outfit next to each doll. I didn't do that great of a job with my framing...you can see the wire and the points.But, it's so cute you don't really notice. I'll get around to fixing it someday (maybe). I hung this picture in one of my hallways with other art that I love, most of which was done by people I know or me... In the picture above, the painting of the woman blowing in the seashell was done by my friend, Kimbo (I've mentioned her before and I'm sure I will again). The painting of the sailboats and the Statue of Liberty was done by our nephew, Aaron. In this photo, the old truck was painted by me. The abstract underneath the truck was painted by my daughter, Carrie. The bird underneath the abstract was done by my son, John. The large painting of the blue bird was done by my friend, Michelle, and given to me for my birthday last year. The photo of the porch with the rocking chairs was taken by my brother, Gary (also a birthday gift). I bought the pig painting...I like pigs. My family used to be in the BBQ business. My friend, Karen, gave me the large oil painting of flowers in a pitcher. It was one of her thrift store finds and the bright colors are much more me than her...So, lucky me!!! I am so blessed to have so many talented (and generous) people around me! If your children have something that they adore, hang on to it. It might mean as much, or more, to them when they are grown as it does when they are little.
If you've got scissors, paper and a pencil, making paper people cut outs is as easy as fold, draw and cut. Have fun experimenting with various silhouettes, sizes and paper color.
Here are two of my BARBIE paper dolls. I still have almost all of their clothing and accessories. I really do like 1970's fashions. The Barbie from 1970 goes with the Ken paper doll that I have already posted.

This is a nice set but one that would take some time to color. I really like Charles’s work – he had a style all his own.

My daughters love themed animals and are a big inspiration to my patterns. After making my amigurumi cow, I knew I wanted to create a farm theme. The next installment is here, these sweet little ducks! (Funny enough, when I started designing them they were chicks. After frogging and trying to get the details to match what I pictured in my head, they started to look more and more like ducks. My awesome pattern testers helped me pinpoint which animal they should be!) If you are new to amigurumi be sure to check out my tips and materials page to help get you started! By including or excluding the bow and eyelashes this pattern is easily adaptable to make in a boy or girl version! Equally fun is deciding the colors to make them in. Both work up to be about 13 inches tall, perfect cuddling size! If you have any questions along the way or want to share your project with us, join the Grace and Yarn Crochet Group on Facebook! I'll also keep you updated on new patterns, giveaways and tutorials! In most of my patterns I use plastic safety eyes, they are easy and fast to install. However, they are not recommended for children under 3. If you are making this for a little one or don't have the size needed on hand, I recommend using my crochet thread eyes as an alternative! You may make and sell items made from this pattern but please do not sell, share or reproduce the actual pattern. If you sell finished items online (Etsy, etc) please provide a link to the pattern and credit to me as the designer, thank you. I hope you enjoy this pattern! This is a free pattern here on my blog, if you would prefer an ad-free printable version you can purchase one for a small fee from Ravelry or Etsy. Don't forget to PIN this pattern and save to your favorite board! This post contains affiliate links, please click here for more info. Thank you for supporting Grace and Yarn! Materials: Size 4 worsted weight yarn (100g of white or yellow yarn for the body, 25g orange) 3.5 mm crochet hook (these are my favorite to use!) 15mm safety eyes Black crochet/embroidery thread for eyelashes/small amount of choice color for bow (optional) Scissors Tapestry needle (these work wonders for amigurumi with their bent tips) Stuffing (Poly-Fil and Morning Glory are my top favorites!) Stitch markers US Abbreviations: MC- Magic circle SC- Single crochet SC INC- Single crochet increase INV DEC- Invisible decrease DC- Double crochet *Slowly stuff as you go, you want it to be firm but not stretched.
