So here's my socks... 2 on one circular needle...
Hmmmm... not quite done, huh. Not very impressive. Looks like ears... weird little animal ears.
There must be something else laying around here I can show today. Something a bit more "done". Something I made... hmmmm....
I made coffee...
Looks like I need a refill. Lemme see what else I can find...
Oh, here ya go. Not quite done-done but a lot done....
All cut and ready to sew. From left to right:
A blouse for me, a dress for Tater, a dress for Doodle, a blouse for Tater. Not bad.
Here's somethin' else...
Muslins for slips for both the girls. The dresses (see above) are an eyelet material meaning they have itty bitty wholes all over... which isn't good. So, we need slips. Pretty slips with tiny rufflies around the hems and across the top of the bodice.
Not too bad... started socks, made coffee, cut 4 sewing projects after making several muslins and adjusting patterns. A bit more impressive.
Oh, wait... there's one more...
I got a little sidetracked yesterday and made another doll. Isn't she cute?
My own pattern for the doll and her dress and her hair. Didn't know I was so into dollies did ya?
Baby needs a new pair of shoes... guess I better get mov'in.
Happy Day!
And you had to have done more than that...because none of the kids starved or went without clean clothes and hugs from mom. Cute doll...

I am a doll person too. I have storybook dolls, handmade dolls and dolls from all over the world that my father brought home to me as I was growing up. I always love seeing other people's dolls.
My summer project, I think, will be redecorating my dollhouse so that I can give it to my daughter for Christmas. Of course, I need to fix and repaint my old doll crib, as well as repaint my old doll high chair and make new cushions for it. And, I want to repaint my old childhood table and chairs as well for DD. Man, I'm gonna be busy this summer.
Of course, I'm gonna have to learn to sew better than I do. Gonna have to start making DD's sundresses and jumpers once she hits size 7. Right now, I can buy them for about the cost of what I could make them for, but once she's out of little girls' sizes, I'll be hard pressed to find clothes that let her dress her age (she's a "dress and skirts" girl) and not like a dang, teenage, pop princess.

I wish you would sell your pattern for the doll

Stop! You are putting the rest of us to shame! Love the doll. She looks a lot like one I had years and years ago. Her name was "Betsy".
