Hello! My name is Linda Walsh and I am a doll maker and doll pattern designer and you are reading one of my many, many one of my blogs.

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 1,496 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!", Linda Walsh Originals E-Patterns which sells "Instant Download E-Patterns For Grown-up Girls!", Linda Walsh Originals Dolls which sells "Handmade Dolls & Crafts For Grown-up Girls!", and my BRAND NEW Linda Walsh Originals Dolls - Handmade Dolls & Crafts Website.

The "dollie's" and I also write a monthly column called "Tips From The Blogging Queen" for the Faithful Friends Online Monthly Newsletter.

We also have a monthly sewing club entitled "Linda's Twelve Months of Sewing Club" that offers everyone who is a member a chance to get some of my Linda Walsh Originals E-Patterns at a discount. It's twelve months of sewing. Twelve months of buy featured "Instant Download E-Pattern" and get a FREE* E-Pattern (*of equal or lessor value) emailed to you. What could be better than that? If you'd like to know more please visit our "Linda's Twelve Months of Sewing Club" blog.

And, we have two bookstores - one all about dolls called Linda's Amazon Associates Store for Books on Dolls and Doll Making and the other all about crafts called Linda's Amazon Associates Store for Books About Crafts and Crafting. They're filled to the brim with books. So, if you love books, dolls, and crafts you're going to love our bookstores.

Plus, we have a wonderful blog to go with our bookstores called "The Book Review Corner." I have an extensive collection of books on dolls and crafts that I have acquired over the years and thought it would be fun to review some of the books in my collections, as well as other books concerning dolls and crafts. It's a great blog to visit.

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:

We actually have seven other blogs, but, you get the idea. We do have a "zillion" blogs.

Why so many, you might wonder? Well, the dolls just love to see their names in print.

We also have two other blogs which are actually plugboard blogs. They were created to help give the small business crafter on the web a place to plug their website for FREE. They are:

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-Pamphlets" 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 four .PDF "Instant Download E-Pamphlets" on our Linda Walsh Originals E-Patterns website.

We also have a toplist entitled "Top Blogs By Crafters" that we started to showcase some of the best blogs by crafters on the Internet. You see, I like to do as much as a I can to help showcase "crafters" on the net.

Why?

For a couple of reasons.

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

Secondly, because I don't think the crafters on the net get the "respect" that they should from the mainstream Internet. So, wherever I can I try to promote all the crafters on the net.

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