Doll Clothes

I volunteered to make a sample of a pattern for doll clothes that Mom has at her quilt shop.  It was so much fun!  I couldn't decide which fabrics I wanted to use, so Mom said I could make four dresses!  It's a modkid pattern, and it might be the best pattern I've ever worked with.  The instructions were very clear, the illustrations were helpful, and it only took about 2-3 hours to make each outfit.
























We got out Mom's old doll and let her dress up too :)  We need to make her an appointment with a doll restorer though (we know someone who's really good).  For some reason, the poor doll has had her head partially shaved, and she's missing half of her eyelashes...

More Bears!

 I'm having a hard time coming up with names for some of my bears...  I guess I don't need to have them named until I get on etsy, which should happen around the middle/end of July :)

I just can't think of a name for this guy, but his face reminds me of Winnie the Pooh.


This one may wind up being named Alex.



I think I've decided this one will be named Blueberry Ice.




This is Andy.  He reminds me of Andes mints :)  His colors were inspired by the Indiana mint brownies we make every Christmas :)



Oh, p.s. all of these bears are two inches tall.

Amy

This is Amy (short for Amethyst).  She's one inch tall and made of ultrasuede (and fully jointed, like all my bears).
