Creativity on the loose

I finished one sweater and started another. These two dolls were willing to model them for me!

Then I went into the barn to collect the eggs from the loose chicken’s nest. However these are not eggs. It seems the cat that has been hanging around has been creative in a different way.

New Doll Sweater

I used the yarn from the yard sale and took a baby sweater pattern to make it.  I used smaller needles and went off on my own as it came together. I  am very happy with the results.

Thomas was cold

The temps dipped to the 40s yesterday and Thomas was cold.  My sister in law briught me some lovely yarn that I needed to use. So…Thomas got a new sweater.  I need to write down my pattern as I had trouble remembering what I’d done last time I made a doll sweater.

New Clothes

“Cat” has a new blouse/slip with a sweet jumper that has pockets. She has luxurious alpaca yarn hair that is soft to the touch. I am working on more clothes for her as she will be sold completely outfitted!

Today’s dresses…

I have finished, photographed and posted these two very sweet summer doll dresses on my Etsy site.  I have had a drought in sales lately and wondered if these would move more easily. We shall see.

Here’s Lara in her new summer dress. I have tweaked the pattern a bit an am pleased with the results. She is wearing matching panties underneath.

Work in progress

I was home from blood draw quickly and started on a second pair of knitted undies for the dolls. I finished a blank (doll not finished) and made him/her undies today. I am quite pelased with the result. Yesterday I made an undershirt and undies for another doll.

Don’t teach me anything new…I might want to run with it. Today Ginny got a much needed vest, handmade by me with a pattern from my head..lol. I am always trying to reinvent the wheel as my sister tells me. It was fun and I like how it came out. [...]

I made these five 12 inch dolls this week and have posted them as they were near completion. However I was not satisfied with some of the clothing choices and made the needed changes. Tomorrow I will do a photo session and they will be posted [...]

Knitting for curls

My sister visited the other day and helped me with some knitting. We were knitting for curls.  Yesterday I couldn’t wait to make a doll who could use these curls!
Her name is Mandi and I love her curly hair!
She is for sale at 1000Markets.
