Girls loved their gifts

The girls loved their birthday & half birthday gifts this past weekend! They were born on the same number day 6 months (plus a lot of years) so they share birthday numbers. My daughter started the whole half birthday celebrating.
(Oxymoron?) I don't know! The pictures are of the girls posing with their treasures. I was surprised that Kendall loved the doll as much as she did. Now she has ordered one for her whole birthday. I have another order for one that I need to start soon. I will maybe make some for quinceaneras too. So many people love her. The sequins did not hold up well on Kendall's bag but they looked cute for a while. I taught her to crochet while she was here. In just 2 days of working with her, she left knowing how to chain and single crochet. WOW!!! Isn't that awesome??? I do so enjoy teaching someone a craft. It gives them something to believe in and know they have it anytime they want solace.
Be blessed and be well!!!

Topsy Turvy Baby for Katy

I enjoy making things that people might enjoy. Kids sometimes enjoy something different and handmade because no one else will have one. My niece Katy has her 3rd birthday in May and I have been working like a mad woman trying to finish her "Topsy Turvy Doll". She and he sister Kendall are part Hispanic and my goal was to make a doll that looks like her and is not Dora the Explorer. This doll is 100% cotton and totally washable so it can take the love a 3 yr old may give it. The colors are a wonderful turquois, purples, pinks, white and a tan for skin color and brown for the hair. If you see this, I would love your comments left on this site. I will try to get more (and better) pictures later in better light. I was too excited to wait. Happy Easter!!!
