Marlane's dolly hospital!

Marlane seems to be able to work wonders with anything, including fixing and cleaning dollies.
These are from the Forest of Dean Childrens Opportunity Centre, in Cinderford. It's where Ruby, who I wrote about and her Prader-Willi syndrome condition some time ago, went for her initial schooling. They are just such amazing people running it.
The dolls go through a lot of loving, cuddling and playing, so they tend to get written on and quite 'grubby', especially if played with outside.
I didn't take a photograph of all of them before she started but the single two photographs are the same doll, before and after.
Some of them have a mechanism inside, for making baby noises, so had to be dismantled for cleaning and washing, and then put back together of course, this requires cable ties to fix the head to the body, which was my only involvement really, supplying the cable ties.
She also had some dolls clothes that she used to dress them for their return.
Johanna will pick them up tomorrow for them to go back home to the centre.
