Dozens of Dolly's!!

I love this pattern!  I bought it at www.Bowls-n-Annies.com

I will warn you, the legs and arms are TINY!!
I traced out her pattern, then added on a bit at the top of the legs and the arms...to widen the hole for stuffing.
After, I simply cut off the excess that I added on, and sewed the arms and legs to the doll.  MUCH easier!

Now, to package them up for the Childrens hospital!!

The dolls hanging out on my front bench! :P

Some of the finished dolly's  This is the Little Cupcake Cutie pattern

Dolly's everwhere!!  I recently bought a dolly pattern off of Etsy.   I LOVE IT!! 
The doll arms and legs are insanely tiny, but they turn out adorable.

These dolls work up to be around 11 inches tall.  TINY!! 
I made some of these up for the toy drive.
I will post a pictures of the dollies that have made it to the kids in the hospital already.  The rest, are in various stages of completion, waiting for someone to love them.

ALL 3 of my girls have helped in making them!  They all picked out material for the dress and bloomers, all 3 have helped stuff them too. 
I, of couse, have the most work to do!  LOL
I do love to sew.

If you are interested, the patterns can be found here

As soon as more are done, I will post more pictures.




Toy Drive success!!

9/1/2008

 

The toy drive was a huge success this year!  We donated over 1000 toys to the University of MN.  We had 1119 toys the day we dropped them off.
Since then, 23 more have come in.  We will be bringing them in next time Libby goes in for her appointment.

I took some pictures of our day.
You can see them here:

I am still trying to figure out weebly.)

We had to cut our visit short.  My youngest daughter Addie developed an ear infection.  We made a trip to our friendly neighborhood pediatrician upon leaving the U of M!

I have a few new patterns to post also.  I have recently made a set of 3 rattles.
Easiest way to make any toy a rattle, insert a cat ball into it.  They are made from hard plastic, with a bell or two in the middle. They work great, unless someone steps on it!!
