"It's my favorite baby doll!"

Meet Bea!  



Is she not the cutest thing ever?  
Her parents, Nick and Erica, are very dear friends of mine.  Erica is a very talented artist and embroiderer, you can see her beautiful artwork and embroidered pieces at her shop, SomeKindOfSunshine. I bought this Guadalupe wall hanging for my mother's birthday, which she loves.



Bea is actually the reason I started making dolls.  While laid up after foot surgery, I wanted to make Bea a doll I could work on by hand, without the sewing machine, and would use up my stash of cute fabrics and wool felt. Thus, the first matryoshka doll was made. 

When Bea opened her doll, she said 'Oh my goss! (gosh) It's my favorite baby doll!'  Nothing could have made me happier.  Thank you, Bea, for being the catalyst for MimiMart!

    Bea named her doll "Mary," by the way.
