They were kind of sad and the more I looked at them the more I just wanted to snatch them up, take them home and give them all a spa day.
When I asked Lou if I could do that, she informed me that she wanted them to be donated as models in our little one room school house, which is part of our town's museum.
I agreed completely. We had been through the museum last year, and it lacked models of this kind in the school room. Presently there is just a comatose teacher and a sleeping child.
So I took the dolls home and gave them all a bath.
Two of the girls got boil perms, and the other doll's hair was so bad I decided to chop it off and turn her into a him. They got some different clothes and shoes, I made a paper boy-style cap for the boy, and he even has a sling-shot in his front pocket.
Here are the new students for the school, they are ready to start school any day now.
As always, working with dolls is such a fun project for me. I don't do much with my dolls anymore, as I have so many other activities I am involved in - so this was a nice relaxing treat for me.
Wonder what grade they will be in?
