Hello! My name is Linda Walsh and I am a doll maker and doll pattern designer.

I thought you might like to see a picture of who I am, but as you can tell from the picture above I always have to be different.

Now, I know what you're going to say. You're going to tell me that that isn't a picture of you, Linda! Well, you're right! It's a picture of "The Little Victorian Girl" that has become my Linda Walsh Originals mascot and logo.

So, why am I showing that as a picture representing me? For a really good reason - SURVIVAL!!!!!!

You see, I live in a house filled with over 1,796 handmade dolls and, they rule everything.

Albeit, I created all of them and they aren't human. But, that doesn't matter to them. They out vote me just by sheer numbers.

So, to keep peace in "The Dollie Storage Room", which is where they live - over the garage, I had to make the picture that represents all of us "The Little Victorian Girl."

We, that is, all the dolls and I, are the owners of Linda Walsh Originals which sells "Doll Patterns For Grown-up Girls!" and  Linda Walsh Originals E-Patterns which sells "Instant Download E-Patterns For Grown-up Girls!"  I just finished desiging 189 new patterns and will have a total of 278 patterns that I have designed and added to my websites in the near future.

We have a brand new FREE 2009 Linda Walsh Originals Print Patterns and E-Patterns E-Catalog that contains pictures of all 275 of our doll and craft designs.  If you would like to download our FREE 2009 Linda Walsh Originals Print Patterns and E-Patterns E-Catalog pleaseCLICK HERE and follow the prompts to download.  It's a 33 page e-catalog in .PDF format.

We are also the owners of Linda Walsh Originals Dolls - Handmade Dolls & Crafts website, both of which sell "Handmade Dolls & Crafts For Decorating The Homes of Grown-up Girls!"  We have hundreds upon hundreds of dolls & crafts all handmade by me available for sale on our new website.

If you are looking for a decoration for your home then we have a doll or craft for every occasion, every season, and every holiday. We have "handmade dolls & crafts" for grown-up girls primitive, Victorian, country, colonial, folkart, and shabby chic decorating needs.

Please note that all of the handmade dolls & crafts sold on our Linda Walsh Originals Dolls website are intended as home decorations for use by grown-up girls only. They are not children's products and not intended for use by children 12 and under.

And, our "Linda Walsh Originals - Patterns & Handmade Dolls For Grown-up Girls!" website showcases everything and anything there is to know about us. Whether it's our print patterns & e-patterns, our handmade dolls, our Gray Is Beautiful line of products, our e-books, our blogs, our photo albums and slide shows, it's all just a click away from our "Linda Walsh Originals - Patterns & Handmade Dolls For Grown-up Girls!" website.  We even have links to all our Facebook fan pages to make it easier for you to become a fan of all our Facebook pages.

We also have two bookstores - one all about dolls and doll making called Linda's Doll Bookstore for Books on Dolls and Doll Making and the other all about crafts and crafting called Linda's Crafts Bookstore for Books About Crafts and Crafting. 

They're also filled to the brim with books. So, if you love books, dolls, and crafts you're going to love our bookstores.

Plus, we just created a  "Gray Is Beautiful Products Gallery" for selling our "Gray Is Beautiful" line of products.  We've got hundreds upon hundreds of products with all the wonderful graphics created by the "Gray Is Beautiful" line of dolls.  They are products geared towards all the baby boomers, senior citizens, grandmothers, and women with gray and white hair. The"Grays" are "Proud to be Gray" and don't mind telling you so. They are in charge and have been working really hard on their brand new store.

We just opened a wonderful new website for selling our patterns and handmade dolls.  It's on Zibbet.com and is called Linda Walsh Originals Patterns and Handmade Dolls Shop.  We hope you get a chance to visit us.

We also have a Linda Walsh Originals Etsy Shoppe where we sell some of our handmade dolls and e-patterns.  If you get a chance, please pay us a visit.  And, we have a little Linda Walsh Originals Patterns Mini-Shoppe that sells some of our e-patterns.

A couple of months ago the "dollies" and I decided to create some video's of everything we are doing.  So, we created two video's and set-up a LWOrig YouTube channel so you could easily view them.  Our first video is entitled: "There's So Much To See and Do At Linda Walsh Originals" and is all about us.  You can view that video at the bottom of this page.  Our second video showcases our love for "faceless" dolls and is entitled: "Faceless Beauties By Linda Walsh Originals" and showcases some of our Victorian "Ladies."

Besides our "About Us" page here we also have a Linda Walsh - Google Profile  page with links to some of our websites, blogs, and social networking sites.

The "dollie's" and I used to write a monthly column called "Tips From The Blogging Queen"for the Faithful Friends Online Monthly Newsletter .  Now we have a "Tips From The Blogging Queen" blog containing all my columns and other FREE articles I have written for various e-zines and websites.

We also have a monthly sewing club entitled "Linda's Twelve Months of Sewing Club" that offers everyone a chance to get some of my Linda Walsh Originals E-Patterns for FREE or at a salesprice.

If all that isn't enough we also have "a zillion blogs" which we also write for. Needless to say we do a lot of writing. Our blogs are as follows:

A lot of our blog readers asked if we would be converting our Linda's How-Do-I Series? Helpful Tips For Crafters With Websites and Blogs to .PDF versions and we decided to not only convert them into .PDF format for you , but to make them available as "Instant Download E-Books" as well.

So, our Linda's How-Do-I Series? Helpful Tips For Crafters With Websites and Blogs that we wrote for our "Tips For Crafters On The Web" blog is now available in .PDF "Instant Download E-Books" on our Linda Walsh Originals E-Patterns website.   And, in 2009 we added 5 NEW E-Books to our Linda's How-Do-I Series? of E-Books.  There are now 9 e-books in our series and they are all geared towards helping the small business crafter on the web.  If you'd like more information on our e-books or would like to purchase our E-Books please CLICK HERE.

Plus, we REVISED our originally free Linda's How-Do-I Series? How Do I Design a Pattern and E-Pattern? e-book and made it bigger and better than ever. "It's now available for purchase on the How-To E-Books page of our Linda Walsh Originals E-Patterns website.  Just CLICK HERE to purchase our REVISED"Linda's How-Do-I Series?

We also have "Top Blogs By Crafters" that we started to showcase some of the best blogs by crafters on the Internet.  We have close to 530 members and we just keep adding new members everyday.    If you like blogs written by artists and crafters then you'll want to subscribe to  "Top Blogs By Crafters." 

You might be wondering why  would I do all this?  Well, you see, I like to do as much as a I can to help showcase "artists & crafters" on the net.

Why?

For a couple of reasons.

First, the arts & crafts community on the net is one of the best communities out there. Everyone is always so willing to help everyone else out.

Secondly, everyone is so skilled and so creative that I like to showcase their talent as much as I can. So, wherever I can I try to promote all the artists and crafters on the net.

And last but not least, I need something to write about in all those blogs besides "dolls" - don't I?
