Woops!! You and I are in the same position!! But you are in a much better position as you are so talented with your needlework, I'm sure if you put aside a few hours when you're not travelling, you will get it done in no time.
Or maybe you can hope that your niece has gone off her doll and doesn't play with it anymore😄
Oh, she's only 8 years old so I think it's quite a while before she stops playing with dolls... I'd better have to make a place in my schedule.
