Hillary Lang

The dolls are great; I've made several from this book. Sometimes the instructions are not accurate or do not make sense, and I need to improvise. Still, a lot of charming projects for anyone with a lot of little people in their lives.

Lang is an orginal. I'm completely enamored of her ability to create, from her imagination, lovely playthings that children actually WANT to play with! My daughter earmarked nearly every project in this book. I've made 4 or 5 of the dolls and plan to make the Sleepover Friends. Lang's patterns are clear and easy to follow. In addition, you can check out her flikr pool to see how people have been inspired to build on her fantastic designs.
