Hi everyone, My blog has kind of been on hold for a few days as I had to crochet a rush project that I will post tomorrow or the day after.
For years, I have needed a model for my hats, blankets, and baby clothes, and promised myself I would get a life-size doll, but never got around to it, thought I couldn't afford it, forgot to buy a doll when I was at Toys-R-Us, didn't need more stuff around the house, or whatever--it just didn't get done. Yesterday, I took the time and a gift card to Target and got a doll. I really thought I needed an androgynous doll, but this doll was dressed in a very cute pink sleeper, so I have a very cute girl doll. But, then I went through Walmart and found a cute premie outfit in blue, and thought if I bought that, then I would have a boy doll with just a change of clothes. I gave no thought to a possible name--this is just a model, you know? Greg thought the doll would need a name, and I said it would have to be a uni-sex name, like Ray or Jan, or something like that. He suggested Gerri, after my dear friend. That was great! He/she can be Jerry/Gerri. Then I came up his/her middle name today. So now the little mannequin has a name.
This is Jerry Gene
And this is Gerri Jean
They look like twins!
