Dolls for My Daughter

I made my sweet daughter a doll from a www.bitofwhimsydolls.com "Wittle Whimsy" pattern when she was very little.  How she loved her blue-haired doll!  It was the perfect size for her little hands!

But this little doll needed a big sister...

For her first birthday, I made my daughter a new blue-haired dolly from the www.bitofwhimsydolls.com "Jean" pattern.  

Now we have a new favorite doll in our household!

Dinosaur Love

In my quest tolearn to sew, I've been tackling progressively more challenging projects over the past two weeks (with baby steps). A year ago, I could only list a "straight stitch" on my sewing resume confidently. Still scared of store-bought patterns, I bought a few small, "beginner" pdf patterns from online artisans. One such artisan's website is:

And so I was eager to take the next sewing step by creating bitofwhimsydolls dinosaur pattern. Less than 24 hours later, my dino was finished, and my son named it "Stinger".

Welcome to our family, Stinger. May you be a guardian dinosaur over my projects to come...
