The Redheads in the Family

Linking up with Jenny Matlock for RAINBOW RED at...
Alphabe-Thursday

I was agonizing over RED. What could i post about that was RED? It was my mother's favorite color, and she had RED everywhere in her house, and on her lips, fingernails and toenails, plus the clothes she wore. She really loved RED.
I think, if she had been just a bit braver, she would have painted the walls RED, and had RED carpet. Thankfully she didn't. Her place already had a RED glow when the sun shone through the RED curtains. I don't think i could have stood much more.
And strangely, me? Not so much. It's okay, but, not as an EVERYTHING color. 
What to post?
Then as i was commenting on someones else's RED post, saying most of the dolls i make have red hair, it hit me... well duh!
So, here they are, the RED heads of the family, a few of the dolls i have made over time.

  1. Oh, I LOVE the dolls! My favorite is the one in the middle, with her panicked eyes and hand to her mouth, like she's thinking, "Oh no! What have I done?"

    Do you have names for them? And do you still make dolls? For yourself or others or both?

    I am sitting here in a RED shirt and RED socks. And if you've seen my latest post, you'll see that I have RED hair!

  4. Red. I love your stories about your mom. As a child I LOVED the color red. I would say with certainty that it was my favorite color, as a child. I had a very fancy red dress in the first and second grade which I wore in a school play. I thought it was beautiful. Oddly enough, I never wear such loud colors as an adult. I am unusually unadorned - yet - I still love the idea of a red dress, which I can't bring myself to wear. Only hints of red all along.

    People don't know that on the inside I wear the color Red. Love your dolls. You are very creative.

  7. My cousin is a red nut. She has so much white and other colors to offset the red that her house fairly glistens. No walls, ceilings, or floors were harmed in her decorating!

    Love all your red dolls. Love 'em to death.

  9. Those dolls are the cutest. I love their expressions. Every time we see this one lady walking she always has on red from head to toe. I call her the red lady. If it's raining she has a red raincoat and umbrella too, ha. Great red post.

  15. Linda, I love these beautiful red-haired dolls.

    What a fun stop on our little journey through Alphabe-Thursday's Summer School.

    I'm reading Cheryl's comment to you, you can put your e-mail address into your google profile to fix that. But you probably already knew that.

    Your Mom sounds like a radiant woman.

    And this was a radiantly red post!

    Thank you for linking it.

    A+

  16. I started on COPD Herbal treatment from Ultimate Life Clinic, the treatment worked incredibly for my lungs condition. I used the herbal treatment for almost 4 months, it reversed my COPD. My severe shortness of breath, dry cough, chest tightness gradually disappeared. Reach Ultimate Life Clinic via their website at www.ultimatelifeclinic.com . I can breath much better and It feels comfortable!
