My Dolls

This is Sadie Blake and her baby doll, Opal Adeline.  Cool names, uh?  My Mom made Sadie Blake for me.  I was an adult and I love her too pieces.   The white in front is a muff that her hands go in to keep them warm.  I made her baby doll from crochet and had a ball doing it.  Must tell you about the names.  Sadie Blake came about because when ever I got something new (shoes, dress, etc.) I would want to go show my Uncle Leroy because he would always say, " Sadie Blake", and would draw each name out and whistle.  Oh, I loved it when he did that.  So of course that is the first name I thought of for my new doll.  Her baby doll, well this is my Mom's sisters name who passed away when she was 14 from appendicitis.  Very sad.  I have always loved her name so there it is.  Opal Adeline.  Very Cool !
