sweet crafts

Good morning friends.
I'm ordering this sweet country doll pattern
as a gift for a little birthday girl. I'll have to add a few materials...
Could the finished clothespin dolls be any cuter?

Alicia Paulson's shop, posie~ rosy little things, rolled out a new limited edition Christmas ornament kit. If you missed the past two kits, they've been re-released. My girls love these kits.

Have you seen her new stitching book, Embroidery Companion? I pre-ordered it on Amazon. It arrived on my birthday. I'm so pleased with it. So many wonderful ideas, designs and beautifully photographed. Very easy to understand, especially if you're a novice like me. Loaded with inspiration.

Which one is your favorite?

How Sweet! Love those little dolls. The Christmas ornaments remind me of some I used to make as a little girl. I still have them.

These dolls are the cutest, Molly. And I fell in love with the red coat. A sweet idea, picturing it in my Christmas tree. Perhaps I should try making .....
Hope your week is off to a happy start xxx

I don't know, I like them all! I use to embroider before I had a car accident and subsequent hand surgeries. Now I have too much arthritis in my thumbs. You will love it! Make a crazy quilt and embellish with beads and embroidery. That is loads of fun!
