Sorry about that. I did finish the doll but I tried to upload the photos while I was under the influence of some migraine medication and a tough day of parenting, and I accidentally deleted everything I was going to use for the tutorial. Argh! Anyway, here's how the finished baby turned out. I'm not Anne Geddes, but I think the photos give you a pretty good idea.

| This is the doll I started with. She's a "Lots to Cuddle" Baby. |
 |
| I replaced her eyes with realistic acrylic eyes, gave her a wig, eyelashes, and a new, fully jointed and weighted cloth body and repainted her face and limbs inside and out. She's now 21" and weighs slightly more than four pounds. She fits 0-3 month baby clothes. |

| Amelia christened her Morgan, and takes her everywhere. |
The good news is that there's always baby-making going on in the Marshall household. (Well, not literally.
But you know what I mean). Last weekend, Amelia found this at a swap meet, and asked if I could fix it up for her.
She looks pretty bad right now, but I think I can make it work. And, this time, I promise I won't delete the photos.
