Molly

Today I spent time with Molly.

Pretty quiet day..... she doesn't talk much......but she has a very gentle spirit.....

I love her! Did you make her? Ruth

Elleia is dressed!

A little Samoan doll needs sandals so here they are!

Now she is all dressed and ready to go!

Thanks Linda for this fabric. It is perfect!
Michael if you are looking let us know if this will work. Love you Brother!!!

Ruth, this is so cute. The fabric worked up great and I love the sandals. Hope you like it Mike! Ruth, when you are out and about keep your eyes open for pink and dark green separating zippers. I need one of each color, doesn't matter how long to go in the front of sweater vests I've made, but I can't find zippers for them. We only have one store in town that sells sewing notions so the selection is pretty picked over. Thanks. Love y'all. Linda

I have a funny kind of outlet fabric store here that seems to have alot of that kind of stuff. I will check Monday and let you know.

new photos

Shhhhhhh..... i don't think he sees us.

ooops..... we have to be quiet

uh oh..... I think he has seen us

Yep too late........ he knows we are here.....

RUN!!!!!!!

HA!!!! HA!!! This is so fun! How tall is this guy? Love ya Ruth

He stands a lanky 13" from hoof to ear tip!

I know he sounds small but when riled up he is a force to be reckoned with.......

LOL

The circus is coming to town

came home today with a bad back and found the circus was at my house!

Just some clothes

I had these leggings and wanted to make something to go with them to have a complete outfit so we added a red turtleneck and blue skirt.

Probably needs a belt, and still some shoes.... but this is good for today.
 ok, I tried to post this on the clothing page and it still posted on the home page.
 You'll have to teach me how to do that. Ruth

Leisel Clothes

.

Under-dress and embroidery on the cute Jumper Linda made. I don't have the hat, as it is at mom's. It's ok for today. I think I figured out how to make boots that lace up which would be very cute on boy dolls. I let you know when I get them made.

Ruth, I love it. The embroidery really sets it off. Is it white or off-white? I think the purse for this should be whatever color the embroidery is. What do you think?? Linda

It's off white: a very light cream. I think it needs a purse and the hat that mom has. Ruth

we have a unicorn

took awhile to figure out how to put on the horn........ duh....... wool and needle felt! LOL so fun

Everything about him is perfect. Beautiful ! Alyce

Love him!!!!! or her!!! whichever! Ruth

Peg, it's perfect. How much do you want for it? I've got to have one of these for Elena. Linda

LOLLY

It's LOLLY...... she has all yarn hair..... it is sewn onto her head in three sections... It is longer than I had originally planned....... but I know there will  ALWAYS be *little girls with scissors practicing beauty school*
                                                                               LOL
Another day ...............................................................................................................Another doll

Oh, she's as cute as can be!   And did Ruth sew the shirt and skirt?   I love her hair.  She is perfect.  Is her body stuffed with wool?


I can't wait to get together and try making my very own.  BTW - is she made out of the same new Weir fabric?  Alyce

Her outfit is one I purchased before christmas but I thought she would look cute in it.  she is stuffed with polyfill.  I am finally getting low on  wool.
she is covered with the fabric from weir but is a little different shade.  I think she is cut too. 
BTW  morning sis, how are you feeling?


Her outfit makes her look like a real little girl, standing up so straight!  LOL Alyce

Handmade hanger.

Isn't this the easiest and best idea to hang up doll clothes!

A person could set and make these while watching a movie.....

Like no brainer stuff!

I thought I would include a picture of our doll pattern and what our kids look

like before they are assembled.

To assemble I use 4 ply thread and insert buttons into the tops of the limbs. then run the thread threw the button and then the skin of the limb - then through the doll body and out the other side - then through the skin of the other limb into the button. then I double back through the button and the skin - back through the body and into the limb and button where I started.  Take the needle off and then tie a knot very snuggly in the 4 ply thread and then tuck the thread down into the limb cavity.

finish stuffing and then sew up the limbs.

there's a short tutorial for you.  I hope the assembly process made sense.

ta da..... assembly complete

It's Mom's 2011 calendar

these flowers and the waterfall are so pretty on the month of July

I think if we do this again next year....... we should all get a cool calendar!

Was way fun to create.

Keiko

Ok Ruth,,,,, here's you a challenge...... what do you think? shall we try it?

Yea! I bet we could do it ! Why not give it a try. Ruth

Ok you"re on..... I started cutting her out tonight. what do you think of the eyes? they are rectangle.

You know best, Do what you think looks right.

Something New

Ok, I said they were something new. I didn't say good. LOL

I will tell you. I am sure glad they don't eat and poop!

Very FUN!!!!! They need some kids to play with. Love, Ruth
