Still Dolling It Up!

 Hello, Dear Ones! Well, I've been playing again...making dolls. Tilda dolls. Cowgirl Tilda dolls.

Yee Haw! Here she is! All decked out and ready for the Houston, Texas rodeo.
My Tilda cowgirl has long long brown braids and a tiny little straw cowgirl hat, I didn't make that but found a few at Hobby Lobby. Tiny little dot eyes and pink blush cheeks. Tildas don't have mouths. Since her neck is so tiny I cut out her little bandana with my pinking shears and it works! She's wearing her little red checked top and a blue jean skirt with a little pretty trim around the hem.
Boots! I've never made boots before and just made them up. They are not perfect but they will have to do for now. I've made so many Tildas that I just make up the clothes as to what I want. I'm just so talented like that, you know. I am teasing. :)

Now this is a Texas gal and she has to have her little gun with her. You know, if an ornery critter should try to attack her! I was looking around in the jewelry section at Hobby Lobby and found this little gun!
Well, I just couldn't stop there and made another cowgirl Tilda.
This little cowgirl Tilda has thicker braids and decided to be a little sassy and tilt her tiny head just so slightly! No matter if I made a dozen of one particular doll - each one would turn out a little differently from the others.
This little cowgirl has a blue bandana and both belts are made from a leather looking trim. There is a reason I made two Tilda cowgirls - one is for me and the other is donated to sell for a charity. 
I'm just so wonderful like that! :)
Yee haw, y'all.
 
Be a bunch of sweeties,
Shelia ;)

I'll leave you with a little Note Song ~
 
I Wanna Be a Cowboy
 
 
Riding on the range
I've got my hat- on
I've got my boots- dusty
I've got my saddle
On my horse
He's called (t-t-t-t-t-trigger)
Of course
I wanna be a cowboy
And you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy
And you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy
Riding on the chuck- wagon
Following my man
His name is Ted
Can you believe that? (Ted- oh Ted- Fighting off danger)
Camping on the prairie
Plays havoc with my hair
Makes me feel quite dirty
Don't we all do sometimes? (Ted gets so dirty)
I wanna be a cowboy
And you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy
And you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy
Looking like a hero
Six-gun at my side
Chewing my tobacco (ptui!)
(Hey drag away, quick wag away- whip!)
Out on the horizon
I see a puff of smoke
Indians on the warpath
(White man speaking with forked tongue, isn't it?)
Or not
I wanna be a cowboy
And you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy
And you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy
And you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy
And you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy
And you can be my cowgirl
I wanna be a cowboy
My name is Ted
And one day- I'll be dead yo-yo-yo

  2. The dolls are adorable. How sweet you made one for you and one for benefiting charity. You are an angel. I love the little gun charm what a score that was to find for them. I bet when you saw those charms you smiled and how cute they were going to make these dolls. I love the details and her boots too. Just too cute both of them. xoxo Kris
