Hello Kitty and Train were gifts carved for each grandchild and the Snowmen were carved for my wife Frances.  She gave me a carving of an Old Man that was carved by good friend Bob Biermann and Rich Smithson of Helvie Knives was commissioned to create the Anniversary Knife.

Janet  Denton Cordell, master carver of Arkansas, has had her personal Hitty doll stolen while she was at the Dayton Woodcarving Show November 9, 2013.  This wooden doll is hand carved of ash with a wooden heart on her chest.  She is approximately 6” tall and has painted hair and face.  Her face is distinctive because of the growth rings only on one side of her face.  Here is the link to Janet’s website showing pictures of the doll:  http://www.janetcordell.com/sequoia.html

Any help in finding this doll and returning her to Janet is greatly appreciated.  Please feel free to spread the word to other woodcarving clubs and friends.  The doll can be returned/mailed to Janet at her address on her website with no questions asked.
