Felt is so fun!!!





Hi Linda, This outfit could probably use a funky kind of sweater, what do you think? I am going to send it to Peggy for the display in Corvallis, but I could send you some of the fabric for you to match. Let me know what you think. Ruth

Oh my word..... it looks like you had the very most fun today!
What a wonderful outfit. I love it!
I got the oriental outfit today and will get the doll assembled tonight or tomarrow
Way to go Idaho!
love peg

This is so perfect for Corvallis. I mean the wild socks with the sandals. That is so northwest it is funny. I think I have the perfect yarn for a sweater. I found 1 skein of some merino that is kind of an olive green tweed. Send me a little piece of the green felt to make sure it doesn't clash. I wanted to do that next so now is a good time. I have the white vest finished. It is just getting blocked and I will finish another self-striping denim blue and khaki one tonight. Will post pictures maybe tomorrow after they are dry and then get them in the mail. Those socks are just over the top. Love you guys, Linda

This is what I did over the last couple of days. This is what 1 lb of handspun wool looks like.













I always worry about either dropping the dye pot or splashing it all over the floor hence the plastic tablecloth. Isn't it attractive?





















1 lb of Corriedale wool. Hmmm, what shall I make out of it? Any ideas, anyone?

















The label on the bottle of dye said "Spruce" which I thought would be a shade of green for some reason. Silly me. Hope you all had an interesting weekend too. Linda










Linda, I love the color!!!! Even if is is "Spruce".... it must be the blue spruce variety! Looks like really nice wool. Ruth

Dresses and Dolls....Can't get better than that!!!

These are the hand crocheted dresses than mom has been working on. They are for a 0-3month size baby, and would make a beautiful Christening Gown.


The next step for completion is a slip to fit under the dresses! Beautiful Mom. They'll soon be listed on Etsy!!!!



Dolls, Dolls and more Dolls. Here is my first attempt at an Izannah Walker Doll! Looking a little like Emma Smith from the 1840's. I'm not sure whether or not to keep the side ringlets... so I'm asking for everyone's opinion... Should the ringlets stay or go? Majority rules on this one!



Thanks for your input!! Ruth

the ringlets stay and longer hair in the back.  Not low enough onto the back of the neck!
Now you know, of course, this is only my opinion.
(you have seen the silly dolls I make!) peg
I LOVE Jack and Jill with the red hair. Talk about cute. They are just perfect. Started a shrug for a new outfit and am still looking for a brooch for the shawl. What do you think about a short stick pin??? Linda
