All you need is love and Christmas cookies.

-Unknown

Only 40 days until Christmas!!! Wow! I only have a couple more Christmas babies this year. So I’m trying to hurry to get them ready in time for Santa. Last year I made three mini babies inspired in Gingerbread cookies. This year I went with just the one but in a bigger size. I am so in love with her. She really is the sweetest.

Her name is Tomasina and you probably can guess that gingerbread cookies are her favorites, especially if they are covered in icing, and even better if she is the one that spreads the icing on the cookie, counter, and herself for that matter. Tomasina also enjoys making popcorn garlands, dried orange ornaments, paper snowflakes, painting pinecones, and more. You can say she loves all the DIY Christmas projects. Her favorite book is The Gingerbread man of course, but that is not a surprise is it? She is dressed as her favorite food and character and has a little friend to match her and accompany in her journey home.

Tomasina is a 10 inch natural fibers art baby doll. She’s not fully soft sculpted but she has a cute belly button and bum. Her skin is heavy weight Laib Yala fabric in light brown. Her whole body is fully lined and mostly stuffed with glass beads. She only has wool on his toes, hands, belly and buttocks. That is why she is so floppy. Her head is floppy. Her arms have been hand sewn to her torso three times to make it extra strong. They are floppy as well. Her head is firmly needle felted and soft sculpted in the mouth and eyes. Tomasina’s hair is a hand crocheted wild brushable mohair wig that has been hand sewn to her head. Her blushing has been made with colored pencils, makeup, and an orange red bees wax crayon. It is not permanent and it can be refreshed with a crayon.

Tomasina is not a toy. She’s an art doll intended for gentle play by an adult collector or an older child 10 and up. She likes to play and cuddle but you need to be gentle with her like you would be with a real newborn baby.

Tomasina will go home with most of the clothes and accessories you see in her photos. All items are handmade by me.

• Cloth diaper with snaps.
• Handmade linen and cotton dress
• Handmade cotton bloomers
• Hand crocheted cotton boots
• Hand crocheted cotton gingerbread man beenie
• Hand crocheted cotton diaper cover
• Gingerbread baby doll

If you would like to see more photos of Tomasina, you can see them here.

You can also see a little video of Tomasina getting ready to go out:

Tomasina’s adoption fee is 550 USDollars plus shipping. Shipping inside Mexico is free with standard mail with tracking (It can be upgraded to Mexpost or private courier at the customer’s expense). Shipping outside Mexico can be either by priority shipping or a private courier. Shipping to the US through priority is 35 usdollars. Through a private courier is 60 USDollars. Only dolls that are sent through private courier can be insured in case the doll gets lost. Other parts of the world will need a revised shipping quote. Customs fees and taxes are the responsibility of the buyer.

Tomasina has found a loving home.

I will take entries for Tomasina until, Sunday November 17, 2024 at 12noon CST (Mexico City Time). If more than one person is interested I will draw a name. Once a family has been chosen I will send a PayPal invoice that is due upon receipt. Because I know we all live in different time zones, the person that gets selected will have until Midnight that day to pay for the invoice. If they fail to do so, I will draw a new name.

As always by filling out the form you agree you are 18 years or older and please do not fill out the form for someone else, that is just not fair for others.

Thank you so much for coming to see and support my work. I really do appreciate it. I hope you love Tomasina as much as I do.

Have a wonderful day.

Read you soon.

Hugs,
