In my last post I mentioned I had made a couple of doll outfits for our special great niece, Violet. Two of my blogging friends, Linda and Sally urged me to forget, or at least put aside for awhile, the many other things needing to be done as Christmas approaches and concentrate on making a doll's owner happy.
I was immediately reminded of the little blue sweater my mother knitted for my doll when I was sick in bed with the mumps for three weeks as a third-grader. I've never forgotten my mother's doing that for me, sitting by me on the sofa during the long days, knitting away on the doll's sweater.
So I've taken their advice.
But this current little cardigan, currently on my needles, has got to be the final item for "Haley" the doll.
Christmas cards are still waiting to be addressed; gifts are awaiting their wrapping and tags.
It'll all get done.
Meanwhile, I'm having fun.
Hi Jean...A well dressed doll Haley will be or all dolled up ; )
ReplyDeleteSo much more fun it is to make things for little girls dolls then all that other stuff!
I don't know how many Barbie doll clothes I sewed, and knitted when my girls, and my granddaughter where young !! Granddaughter is 25 now, got a sewing machine recently and is learning to sew!! She wanted me to help guide her to make a dress for New Years eve hahaha!!
