Hooray Patara!
I'm gping to make my daughter a corn husk doll. I liked the story ,I have to maybe I was the dark hair lady but I realized I'm to old and the spark in my eye left years ago.lol
Ohh Patera that pizza and soup looks soooo good, yummy. Thanks for sharing the doll with us, blessings
Fun filled day….
just wondering if you can use fresh green husks to make these so you dont have to soak them?
I absolutely love them….. we do them over here in Croatia too, they remind me of my encestors….. Beutiful!
This is an age-old craft that many people have forgotten. During pioneer days, it might have been a little girl's only toy.
Was up your way this past weekend and remember seeing the sign for Fort Louden . We were looking at property 25 miles from Chattanooga outside of Scottsboro Al. Loved it !
Youtube needs a Love button along with that thumbs up deal 🙂
Shikara said that is a way cute idea.
We didn’t make faces on our but it was fun doing it
Volume was so low so I couldn't hear the story so I'll tell you mine! My mother's family was Scottish & my father's Irish. Depending on which family I was with around Feb. 1st we would make corn dollies (St. Bride for the Scots, St. Brigid for the Irish), same saint, different pronunciation. St. Bride was the saint of first beginnings of spring in the Old Country; she was the patron saint of cattle, dairymaids (Patara?), midwives & newborns. The dolls were made in her honor & hung near the hearth or stove. My great- grandmother was a midwife in Appalachia so this was serious stuff to her. I made the dollies with my granddaughters when they were small; it's still a beautiful tradition. Funny how these things cross so many different cultures.
Beauteous doll!
very nice video,, corn husk doll now that is old school,, love that U,,S,, flag for sure,,t,,f,,s,,
When your instructor's "packin' heat"…. you'd better pay attention!! 🙂

Being a doll collector, this looked like so much fun!
Looks like a great, fun day out! Thanks for sharing! ☺️
Hi, Patara! Saying prayers for your James' health. I have a tribute page on my website for my Cherokee/Choctaw friend, Sandra Paille. She made the most beautiful corn husk dolls I've ever seen – I have one in the entrance-way of my home who guards my house! http://www.thezuniconnection.com/dssbhthezuniconnection21c.html
Patara Honey, you just took me back years and years when my kids were young and I used to make Corn Husk Dolls in Virginia! Where did time go and so quickly? Thanks a bunch for the wonderful memory!
How cute!
Looks like a fun day !
