The story starts on my August 12 post.
Meet Martha, the Mother of the Bride - in all her finished glory. This sweet little doll waited from her beginning on June 24, 2010 until her completion now in August of 2013. It was a long wait but her patience and sweet nature brought her through and she is beautiful. The name she chose fits her perfectly and she is every inch the mother of the bride.
Her finishing touches were her earrings and her hat . . . .
Her finishing touches were her earrings and her hat . . . .
Her purse . . . .
And her shoes (she requested comfort for her corns over style, although I did add a little bling).
I present: MARTHA, THE MOTHER OF THE BRIDE
Martha's wedding ring - which has been on her finger since her own wedding 35 years ago. She can only hope for her daughter that she has also found her true love.
Thank you for stopping by today to visit my blog! Thank you again to all who left such king comments about the little doll. They are the inspiration to create more. Wishing you a happy weekend!

Martha is just sweet.
Did you create her from a purchased pattern or design the pattern yourself?
I love making dolls and their clothing and she looks sweet to transform into many character's.
I enjoyed reading your progress with this lovely quirky doll by Jill Maas! Loved her in her undies!You made a great job of her! Well done and thanks for sharing!
WOW !!! now that's some amazing talent!!!!! they look brilliant! :)
I love Martha, and such a sensible lady to wear such comfy shoes. Very nice Barbara, you brought her to life, and gave her a personality that is easily imagined.

Thanks for answering my question and jogging my often forgetful memory. I knew she looked familiar.
I have this pattern but haven't played with her for some time. I kept looking at her and thinking I saw her before.
I love her and have created her in different characters other than Mother of the Bride. Though her in the states, she would be Mother of Groom as she is dressed in blue. But I think that tradition has fallen by the wayside in the last years.
