American Girl Dolls

My mother -in-law told me she saw some homemade
"just like me" clothes so girls can match their dolls.
She got a matching set of crocheted beanies for my youngest sister-in-law.

I decided I can do that.

So here it is 18 inch doll hat with matching child hat.

I think they turned out great!

The doll hat is about 11 inches around and will it most 18 inch dolls
The child size hat it about 18 inches around
and should fit children 5 -12 years old

I am really loving this youtube channel called mikeysmail

He is a great teacher, I usually watch his videos to figure out
what needs to happen then do it my own way.

Crocheting

The crochet crowd (mikeyssmail channel on Youtube) is what I have been doing lately

October Already

Last Halloween was the first one Ty and I got to spend together. We had a lot of fun with it, Wizard of Oz style. We had just got Buddy so he was the perfect lion. Ty's mom found the monkey costume for Tara and I added wings to make her a Flying Monkey. Ty's costume was easy I used black fabric and made rounds that would fit in his already cut of sleeve then I sewed some raffia on the then hand sewed that into his sleeves so it could be removed easily. I sewed a crow his shoulder that his grandma had, she also gave him the hat. I made my broom. I used electrical to tape the feathers onto a dowel rod and grass I found in the floral department at Wal-Mart. Green hairspray was an extra touch :) and I love my red and black tights.

Now what to do this year!

Soon

I promise I will get back to sewing soon I went to the fabric store with my grandma this morning and she said we need to get the sewing machines out!

Organization project

I did this in 3 hours yesterday morning.

On the right is a board that has a spot for a paper that has a box for each day of the week.
I will put next week behind it and the week after that behind that. It also has ribbons to tuck stuff under.
On the left is a board with a paper for writing notes on an envelope for sticking things in, I put my pens in it. It also has ribbon for tucking stuff under.
I try to be organized, but I am terrible at it. hopefully this will help me remember what I have to do.
I have already wrote something on the calender. Next Saturday my 2 sisters in law will be preforming with there taekwondo demo team. They are both black belts. The older one who is 10 can break boards and cement. The younger one who is 7 will breaking a board at the demo she is very excited.
I have also wrote something on my note board. I need to find out what time the demo is.

Tutu pictures

Buddy thinks he can sleep any where.


I like it. It looks done in this picture but there is really about 4 inches that still need to be filled in the back, it takes a lot of ribbon, guess I am going to be hitting up ribbon sales. I think I will try tulle next though.
