If you can't, then Beverley Graham, a ''reborning artist'', has done her job well.

You can see Graham's lifelike baby dolls at the Canberra Craft and Quilt Fair in Exhibition Park.

Creating the dolls was originally a hobby for Graham, but it is now a full-time job from her home in Western Australia.

Since beginning her business six years ago, Graham has already had a brush with fame with one of her dolls playing a role in the television program Neighbours.

The lifelike dolls are real to touch, hold and to look at often being confused with real newborns.

This was precisely the reason Neighbours chose one of the dolls to be featured as Chloe, the newborn daughter of Carmella, played by Gold Logie nominee Natalie Blair.

According to Graham, gaining such high recognition was not only exciting but a great boost for her self-esteem.

''It's great for me to think that my dolls are good enough to be used on television, that's what blows me away,'' she said.

''The Sydney Theatre Company has also purchased one of my dolls and they are now being sold all around the world.''

Customers can buy the dolls ready made or they can take them home and create their own.

Graham said the dolls made a perfect gift for grandmothers who didn't get the opportunity to see their grandchildren often or for those who were unable to have children.

Catering for all things craft, the Fair incorporates scrapbooking, beading, crochet, embroidery, painting and many more creative avenues for craft enthusiasts.

This year there are many things to see and do with workshops, dozens of exhibits and plenty of shopping.

An addition to the Fair this year is the Japanese Textile Art Exhibition which showcases the best in Japanese silk embroidery, quilting and knitting.

Japanese crafters are primed to exacting standards through rigorous formal training and this unique exhibit showcases the mastery of the technical skill of Japanese craft.

Managing director of Expertise Events, Gary Fitz-Roy said crowds at this year's event were higher than in previous years.

''Our pre-booked tickets are the highest that we've ever had,'' he said.

''We appreciate a great deal the support we receive from Canberra, it makes the whole Fair more worthwhile.''

The Fair is open 10am-4.30pm until this Sunday. Visit craftfair.com.au for more information.
