As a little girl, I loved to dress my dolls like most kids. But I became restless with the simple outfits that my dolls came in, and began designing and creating my own. My favorite dolls by far were Calico Critters, and I spent lots of time dressing them in homemade dresses, suits, and swaddles. I managed to find a few of them from when I was younger, although most of them have been lost over time.
