Remembering them... How wonderful! I was so glad my daughter never wanted a Barbie doll or similar ones. These should be in a museum!

Of course, I LOVE this - I wish there were a way to put multiple hearts :o). I remember watching the two of you at work, in awe, and that awe was re-experienced when I ran across one collection of these tiny treasures while clearing out my parents' house. Thanks for setting all of this out and for the pictures. Sylvie

That is so great! I didn't remember you watching us, but I must have been too absorbed in the work — plus, I have a terrible memory. I hope you guys kept the ones you found in your parents' house! I'd love to see them sometime.

It was probably only once or twice!

Indeed, I have a box of little things. I'll send you some pics.

Wow, Rosana. So fun and creative! I love your dolls. You should do a kids instruction book on making new versions of these--and sell it on Etsy. I'll bet parents would love it, and the young, crafty, artsy kids will love it even more!

Thanks! I remember how to make the dolls, but not much else, lol.

I did not, alas. All the rolls went to Aya, and then who knows what happened to them...I had one troll with a Frankenstein head. He got the fanciest clothes. His name was Frankie (I was such an original child).

Oh, how darling!! I love the teeny-tiny clothes and decor! I had a big set of trolls and a troll house, and I used to knit tiny sweaters for them and make little skirts. I remember that feeling of being in the zone so well...

I loved those little trolls! May have had one or two. Did you keep any of the sweaters?

Thanks for reading! I was lucky to have been given the idea of making these; we had so many hours of fun with them.
