Childbirth Education Doll

This is Ida Faye. She is a midwife, educator and mother. She loves to educate little ones about the reality of birth. Yes, she agrees it is a beautiful miracle, but it is also messy and weird and sometimes scary.

For more about Ida, visit my blog at cozycoleman.com

If you would like to purchase Your very own childbirth education doll, please contact me through etsy for a custom order.

The pattern is available on my etsy site.

Important work! Good for you. Have you ever seen a doll that can be opened to reveal organs? I would really like to find one.

I realize that...I was just wondering because I did a design that floored everyone and the comments that I have gotten was so wrong, why?, that is disgusting...well you get the idea. Here is where the design is...Cora's Blog.http://cora1965.livejournal.com/4616.html.

I have her pattern and it is wonderful. I am in the process of crocheting the first of 2 dolls. I love the details on this pattern! The designer also has a wonderful and detailed chess set on her site as well.
