Drowsey Dolls and Pals were originally called Sleepy Heads. However, someone else coined the name for a doll that was mass produced so I changed my littles ones to their current name of Drowsey Dolls.

This charming bed was designed by me but would have never manefested if it were not for my artisan brother (the humorous and ever entertaining Mike Arras) who enjoys wood as one of his many interests and mediums of choice!He took my design and completely built the bed!

My Mom (the beloved Carla Arras) and I painted it. The hearts were purchased cutouts that were painted and glued to the bed. The same applied to the round balls on the bed posts. My Mom crocheted the small throw rug and did all of the sewing for the bedding and pillows.

The original Sleepy Head Doll and Pal were entered in the Delmar Fair in San Diego, California where they took first place for original doll design.
