I saw on Emmy's blog (Cramzy, see on the right) that she had printed out the Jenny Joseph poem, Warning...' When I am an old woman I shall wear purple and a red hat that doesn't go.......' I love that poem for a number of reasons, not least that Jenny Joseph was, like me born in Birmingham and in the same year too. About six or seven years ago I made a doll to go with the poem, known in the family as 'Bet' because certain members of my family thought she looked like the queen! Bet is looking a bit the worse for wear now and her 'fur' is more pink than purple but she is still dear to my heart!
I love your Bet! And I love the poem, I wish I was so brave! It probably mean that I am not old enough yet:))
ReplyDeleteOO I love Beth she is just the right doll for the poem I can understand that she id dear to your heart
ReplyDeleteLovely work!
ReplyDeleteOh wow this is gorgeous. She has a very friendly face and looks like a game ole girl lol.
ReplyDeleteNot familiar with this poem myself so I will have to google it.

I love that poem too. What a great idea to actually make the doll and the 'wear' suits the poem I think.
ReplyDeleteoh how perfect, she's wonderful! i'm a big fan of this poem too and looking forward to wearing purple soon :)
