hi

Sorry blog, I know I'm a bad friend. I don't mean to be ignoring you. Things have been happening but they don't really seem very craftblog worthy. We cleaned out our soggy basement after our town was flooded. I put... Continue reading

skip dance

Phoebe does not walk anywhere. She skips or dances or leaps. I envy her energy. I'm willing myself to get up from my coffee and do some Spring clean up in the yard. Maybe if I skip out of here.... Continue reading

spring break

Nothing like a week off from school in Chicago in March. 30 degrees, gray skies, just perfect for... nothing. Sitting inside. Today is 50 and sunny though so it feels like Summer. Here are some of my desperate attempts at... Continue reading

So glad to hear positive comments about season 5!! I really love the show but couldn't get invested in 4th season because I thought all the characters were the wrong ones. Now I'm excited to see how it turns out. Thanks guys!

Yes, Cluster Stuff. I love it. So easy to use. I have the hardest time with anything else.

It takes me three episodes of Fringe to sew on two sets of arms. That should be my answer when people ask me why I don't sell finished dolls but just patterns. Any Fringe watchers out there? I'm losing interest.... Continue reading

No, not really. There is a doll with yarn hair but she's a different shape than this gal.

I use all 3 - wool, wool felt and flannel. I like the body to be very stiff so I don't mind the wool felt. It can be harder to sew the hair to. The latest dolls I've made have just been wool so they're sort of soft and fuzzy and definitely more flexible.

My go-to doll pattern these days is my Elise and Elsa Elf pattern. All these dolls below are the same body and face, just with different yarn hair dos. Elise/Elsa just has bangs and a cap. If you want to... Continue reading
