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.

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:
