At first I thought someone had taken a regular doll head and stuck it on a troll doll some time in the 80s, but I showed it to my friend who is a doll expert and he is certain it's a Liddle Kiddle doll. According to Wikipedia they were only produced from 1965 until 1970 when they were discontinued due to the global oil crisis.

This one is in pretty rough shape, but here are some images of how they look in good condition:

Once I finish up these last 2 flowers there are only 2 sections left to do! I still think it's funny that I picked this pattern thinking it would be quick since there are only 10 colors, but it's been so complicated that it's taken me longer than any other cross stitch I've done so far lol

This belonged to my grandfather originally. There's not a ton of info about when these were produced that I could find, but what I did find suggested that this is probably from the very early 60s sometime

Found this old newspaper page folded up in a box in the attic at moms house and thought I'd share!

I just opened Lemmy to browse all and half the posts are memes in German about pizza. Wtf Germany?

I never knew the 80s new wave version by Soft Cell was a cover lol

I had to frog almost all the progress I made last week and redo it after realizing I'd somehow stitched everything in the new section one row too low... Thankfully I got caught back up and made a little more progress though so I hope this panel will be done by Friday!

Apparently it's a regular occurrence

I'm finally starting the dragon!

Also here is a little tiny Sakura tree I started! I still have to do all the back stitching

There aren't really any other instructions included on the PDF. I think it's supposed to be a half stitch of one color and then a half stitch of the other maybe?

Those little flowers took a while to finish but I'm really happy with how they came out! I think by the end of today I'll be able to finally move on to the next section!
