Another long term patient went home recently, Clownie the cloth doll. I don’t have many dolls up here, so I thought I’d share her story with you. I’ll be putting Orangie the Raggedy Ann up at some point in the future, but right now, while clean, she still needs new arms and legs!
So… Clownie. Clownie was sixteen when she arrived at the hospital, and as you can see, she had had a LOT of adventures:
She was scheduled for a spa, hand recovering, a new nose, shoe repair, and all new clothes (including a replacement hat). The clothes took a while, because we had to mail order just the right dots.
Believe it or not, her hat was originally yellow!
Here is Clownie as she started surgery. She’s clean, and these were fabric options for her new hand recovering:
Don’t worry, I know her face and eye are off a bit here!
Her person was concerned about her hands, so I took a lot of photos as they were done. Here you can see one original, cleaned:
And how it was recovered:
Clownie got a heart with a little of her original stuffing put in:
And her new clothes were cut out of all new fabric using her old clothes as a pattern:
She got a new jumper, new removable collar, and new hat. And her face got fixed up. Here she was, ready to go home:
Pretty happy, don’t you think? And she made it home safe and sound! Her person in Ohio wrote:
Clownie looks super awesome! Good as new!
Clownie has finally arrived! I was so happy to see her again earlier today. Thank you so much for all your hard work on her. She looks amazing!
I really can’t thank you enough!
