Aunt Harriet
is a woman of a maturing age with substance and virtue ...
Head of the CWA for the western region sub branch...
She fills her time by organizing herself and all around her...
Sponge cake is her vise and her saviour
winning the inaugural prize for
'Best sponge at show' four years running...
When asked of her success
she replies most politely
"that it is in the care and attention to detail
that makes all the difference..."
When Aunt Harriet isn't committing her time
to her many organizations
or planning her next overseas cultural holiday...
she likes to sit and relax
watching a spot of television
(of course not past 8:30pm as Aunt Harriet deems this not appropriate viewing hours
filled with unjustified levels of violence)
with her companion "Maude"
Maude is a 10 year old Himalayan blue cat
that is now retired from show life and spends her nights by Harriet's side...
Aunt Harriet's husband passes away some years back
and due to having no children
she fills her home with many nieces and nephews
every school holidays...
filling the hours with baking, laughing
and memories...
telling them tales of the past went she and her sisters were young
and rather silly and carefree,
all of these children adore Aunt Harriet
as she does love to entertain and keep company...
"they make me feel young again"
she says...
and with that she reaches for her hankie...
Aunt Harriet was made
one night without a pattern or any real idea
at the time...
she evolved to this stage out of pure delight
and is still a work in progress...
her story and clothes and accessories might even change yet,
I will just wait and see what comes to me...
but for now I do hope you like her so far....

She is wonderful!
This is the nicest doll I have seen. It's wonderful she has her own "life" story too
Please share a pattern for her, I am sure lots of charity or Xmas gifts will be made with her
She's gorgeous and so is her story. You are so clever.
Aunt Harriet is great, she is a very young aunt or at least looks it, she looks like she has a kooky side to her? She has great fashion sense, can't wait to see more of her garments.

I just had to leave a comment and say thanks for the amazing tutorials you've put on here... I'm getting married in October and making bunting for the venue and I shall be using lots of your tutorials for hearts and stars etc
Well, as I had a granny named Harriet, I am inclined to like her straight away. She is lovely and I hope to see what lies in store for her.
