- On Xmas night my little sister got a doll from Santa Claus. She let it fall and broke it
I made a rag doll for her like this.
I got a piece of canvas, sewed it up and stuffed it with saw dust for a body.
I got four long narrow strips and stuffed them for legs and arms. I made a round ball also of canvas and sawdust for a head.
I stitched them in position. I then made a face eyes nose & mouth with brown paint.
I made a dress for her& then my little sister had a cheap and lasting doll.- Collector

- Spinning flax was carried on in almost all the houses round here about 90 years ago.
5 or 6 girls were employed and the thread was sent to Duleek to be woven into linen.
