My First Post

I'm Madeline, I'm 17 and a 3.9 GPA high school student with high functioning autism. When I was younger I lived in a battered women's shelter and recalled having few toys. Now that I am older and can knit I have decided to give back to the girls and boys living in the same situation by fixing up dolls from the thrift stores and garage sales and giving them to battered women's shelters.

Here are some examples of my work and more examples will be coming soon:

  5. So nice of you to think of those in the shelters. This will probably be one of the things they remember most when they look back in years to come. Well done!

  7. Despite a rough life earlier, you have become one awesome young lady! And a question, what about Barbie clones? I have a fully clothed one needing a home, and if she stays here she'll never have more than the clothes on her back cause my hands can't manage it.
