Mom's response when she opened the Dad Doll.

Nice to have Mike and the boys here!

Two proud papa's

The Dolls were a Hit!!!

Couldn't resist this picture for a good laugh! Trouble in the works!

Lots of fun! Ruth

Conference Call

I am good for the call this afternoon. I am going to try dying some of this hand-spun wool that I have today. I'll let you know how it goes.

I'm good for the call today tooo..........  can't wait..........  love you alll.........

These Dolls are Great! WoW! What you are doing is incredible Peggy. I guess today is our conference call day. Is it going to work for you Linda and Peggy? Let me know. I am definately in the recovery mode today.... I'll try to post pictures of all the girls with their dolls today and try to get the video of Mom opening the Dad Doll from Paul. Ruth
PS Does the RJ doll have elbows?

Introducing R.J.

Looks like he got a new train for Christmas.  What he really needs is a new pair of pants and some brown shoes.   LOL
Started him late last night and just finished.
the question is;;;;;;;;;;????????????? do the fingers stay?
I think I can sculpt ears.  I will do more research and practice.  I am working on a new foot (with toes).  the pattern for the entire leg has to be changed and I am working out the details so the clothes will fit the same.
Ok, I'm ready to try my hand at doll making.   Should I order the supplies from the same place where we ordered before? (A child's dream? ) or was it weir crafts?    Do you think I can do it? Alyce

I know you can do it. If I can do it anybody can do it.  do you want me to make up a kit and send it to you? or you can order kits from weir crafts.  although they are closed until the 3rd. of Jan.
the best instructions and patterns are from  http://www.dancingraindolls.com/  though.  They are difficult to find on the internet thoug.  Just tell me what I can do to help and I will be more than happy to get you started.
I love you so much!
I just looked and A Child's dream has patterns and supplies also.
I am out of doll skin and am needing to get more.  I have a small amount of brown left but that is all.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone!

Peggy these new dolls are absolutely perfect. You are right about the hair I think. Can you believe all that has happened with these dolls in the last two months? Makes me wonder what will happen in the next two months.

Love you all. Linda

Leisel

i have named her Leisel.

She was created in the spirit of Christmas excitememt!

Her shawl

the shawl was so quick and simple.  I think some of the 16"dolls need some of these too.

IT IS FINALLY CHRISTMAS AT GEPETTA'S

I GOT A TREE!

I guess I didn't realize how great an effect a christmas tree can have on a person

I found a 4 foot tree at Michaels today for $19.99 and I brought it home and

ta da....... it is finally really christmas at my house!

I am so excited I can hardly stand it.!!!!!!

I have no ornaments but I do have loads of presents from all my family that love me dearly!

I am surrounded by My Heavenly Father's Blessings.

Now......

The next thing I want to share......

The new 8" doll has mohair, hair.  We have success.  It actually looks like hair and not yarn

I believe this is the appearance we want for all future dolls.

I am going to crochet a green shawl for her and hem her skirt and then she will be complete.

I Love you all and am so Happy I carry the Nyberg name!

I love you Linda

I love you Ruth

I love you Alyce

I love you Mike

I love you MOM

I love you DAD

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

IT'S MOM'S BIRTHDAY!!!

Happy Birthday Mom!!! Be thinking about where you would like to go to dinner! Love you so much! Ruth

Grandpa pioneer

                                              gettin ready to load up the wagon and head west!

(guess he aught to dust it off first.  Looks like it has been in the barn for a long time!)

LOL

Is he 8 inches? Might need to make a cowboy hat to keep the sun off! He's Dandy! Ruth
ya.  he is 8" tall.  I couldn't figure out how to make a tam style hat.  Not too mention a cowboy hat fer hevens sake.  LOL  You are so funny!   LOL........ I can send his head measurments to you if you would like to do that honor!

This & that

Oh boy is he cute!   So fun.   Love him Mom!    Alyce
(And look at you - posting photos on the blog.   Woo Hoo,  You're a blogger now!)
Oh MOM how many yo yos did this little guy take.  and for heavens sake are you fingers sore to the bone?   He is really cute.  YOur great grand is gonna love him!
and the angels are really cute theere.  Do they move and float around in the air movement ?
Now we know where we all got our desire to create!

New knitted jumper

This is the new jumper that I knitted. It doesn't look so good without a blouse, hat and shoes. Think I have enough yarn left for a hat and maybe shoes. When I get those done, I will send it on to Ruth for the finishing touches and have her work her magic.

Alyce I hope you are feeling better and everything is OK with Taylor and the new baby.

Congratulations to Grandma Ruth. 3 grandbabies in one month. It's a record.

Love ya'll. Linda
Linda, this is soooooooooooooo  waldorf style.   way to go grandma!  I cant wait to see it with a cute little blouse and hat with a fabric flower on it.  Ruth mentioned an embroidered flower on the hem.  very cute. how long did it take?

I love this jumper. I think some leggins would be cute with this and mary jane shoes and turtle neck. I'll see what I can do. Very Cute! Ruth


Very very cute!   I love the jumper.   Yes Linda, we are all doing well.  I finished my prednisone, was still sick.  Third day now on nasal and inhaler steroid and I think today I am beginning to get over it.  Yay!
Snow day today about a foot of snow.  It's beautiful.   I'm almost done with Halle and Reeses quilt tops. 
I've been really busy making a king size quilt for Ali.   I took photos of her with all of us from past years and transfered them to fabric then pieced them into a quilt top.   It's at the quilters today and will be done by Christmas.   Last friday Taylor was dialated to a 4 but zero effaced and Abbe was still high. 
Steve and Taylor say she isn't allowed to come out until after the 25th.   We'll see about that!
Ken and the Kids, Kenny, Karen and Sami's friend are all headed to Las Vegas today for a football game (as long as the roads are clear).   They are coming back thursday night.    Then, - Christmas EVE!
Love to all of you,   hope all is well with everyone.   I sure miss you!   Alyce
