Ruby Jack

When I worked in Melbourne as a physiotherapist I had a patient called Ruby Jack.

She was a spunky little customer, pushing 90.

She knew a thing or two about life and she knew exactly what she would do and what she would not.

This little Ruby Jack seems to be of a similar disposition.

As soon as she knew there were photos to be taken she decided she was not in the mood.

She set me with her pretty grey eyes and would not budge

But then I tempted her with the promise of a game to play and she agreed to sit  for me.

I didn't have much time, impatience is  her middle name.

Two snaps and that was it.

Time for a rainbow puzzle on this rainy day.

She is wondering  how long it will be before the other girls are ready.

I think Ruby actually needs a little help with her puzzle but she won't admit it.

She didn't stick with it for long, she would much rather be out jumping in puddles.

 How difficult it is to make dolly gumboots do you think?

Ruby will be in the Etsy shop tomorrow around 10am AEST.

She is a 19" Best Friend doll, $420 AUD plus shipping.

It is a cold and and wet day here today.

Autumn leaves are fluttering everywhere.

The girls are in need of clothes  and I haven't made them yet.

 I have other jobs to finish off first.

In the meantime they are snug in their bed, three in a bed and a snuggly crocheted rug, teddies and friends to cuddle and Alice in Wonderland to read together.

So much fun getting to know each new doll and working out what best suits them.

Tanya, Elsie and Billie, best buddies today.

There is one more dolly to come though it seems she will be a 20" best friend doll rather then the 17" Sweet Child doll I planned.
Stay tuned.
