  You can tell that she works on these dolls with absolute love. The way she smiled at him after he was fully dressed was so beautiful. It brings tears to my eyes.

  When I was a child, the 1960's, my mother took me to a "Doll Hospital" to have my Chatty Cathy (1963)r repaired. The doll was a garage sale sweety with long ponytails and a steal. I wish I had kept it as in the box it is worth two car payments! I loved seeing all the babies and little girls she had. The smell still  lingers and the concern for my doll was nearly a test of tears. When mom brought her home, I promised Cathy I would always have her. I did, until a 1980's flood ruined almost 80% of what I owned. Typing this actually made me sad for the doll who made me so happy to play with.

  The fact that she made undergarments and took the time to knit him some tiny clothes shows just how much love and dedication she puts into these dolls

  Restoring a doll with such level of dedication is hard enough. Restoring using authentic craftsmanship products and techniques, even harder. Doing this whilst filming and shooting different angles so that the video is esthetically pleasing and professional, 10000 times harder. Making sure the sounds are good for ASMR and managing the distances while getting the footage...I mean!!! This is WIIILD! You deserve an oscar! Thanks for this beautiful content

  This is beautiful! The way she looks at him when his little body is finished reminds me of a mother looking at her little baby, like “look at you! I made you! It took a long time and a lot of work but you’re so beautiful!” And she dresses and holds the little guy so gently, as if he were an actual child. The care and effort put into this project is mind blowing. I’m in awe of your skills Irene!! Wonderful work

  The vintage tools, the dedication to your craft, the aesthetics of your workplace, rarely ever straying from the old fashioned way of doing things... I really am amazed and shocked to see such an underrated artist that works with such love for their creations. You deserve more recognition!

  Her skills are way beyond the ordinary level of restoration techniques. She knows what she's doing and that is what admirable about her.

  This is the highest effort restoration video I've seen in ages. Every time I thought you were done you added something else, AND you made every little new piece by hand, not just restoring the base and buying new things. You made him little socks! And shoes! Real shoes! And skiing equipment! I must have more.

  I know this video is a year old but I just wanted to comment how this made me cry tonight. This restoration process is just so beautiful to me. It makes me so happy to know that someone like you is not giving up on something so broken.
