I have been working hard on my craft since 2004, and I think I have a skill level that shows in my work. I am the do over queen and there are many heads without bodies to suggest that these mistakes drive me to the perfect end. The finished doll always seems to lead to the next doll, one is born out of another. This is why I love making dolls. It is the air I breathe and pretty much defines me. I am a doll maker.
This may sound strange but these bodiless heads and headless bodies speak to me. I have control over the parts and pieces individually, but the position involved in the connection is revealed at the moment the pieces touch one another for the first time. The head moves me to sew it in a certain pose, same with the hands and arms. The whole doll forms itself to be expressive according to its idea of itself.
Just showing off how fast her hair grows. I really wish mine did. Suppose I could always sew hair onto my head too. . . . . 
The headless doll looming in the background, ever longing for it's head. . . . .This is the stuff that keeps me awake at night. . . . . .The noises that come from my studio. . . . . .
She is looking good. . . . . . . .I think the hair stage is my favorite part. The personality of the doll really starts to form and it is definitely nice to love what is happening. I hate it when I make bad hair. . . . . . . . .

I used to hear noises from my studio when it was in the extra bedroom...I would often get up in the middle of the night when an idea would come to me seemingly while I was asleep. Now that I have a detached studio I kind of miss those night callings.
