Dressing the baby

Finally, here is the knitted baby with hair and clothes on! To be sure, my crafting still has a ways to go before matching Beth's craft, but my daughter loves this little one anyway. We are going to call her 'Emmy' after my niece.

Busy week, baby still not dressed!

Ok, so the hair will have to wait for my knitted baby, and the dress is not quite finished... but work and kids have kept me running this week. Hopefully you have all managed to squeeze in some therapeutic crafting time. As I have not managed to get my doll up and dressed, I thought I'd share the pic of the doll 'Jennifer', by Beth, that I'm modelling her after. Get more info on her by clicking here.

Knitted baby

Awww.... I think this little one needs some clothes, and possibly some hair. This is my attempt at a look-a-like Waldorf doll from By Hook, By Hand which you can find here. My favourite doll is Jennifer, so I'll probably pick colours similar to hers for this doll. But the weekend is over and who knows when I'll have time to do a little more knitting! Hopefully I'll have some clothes on her soon and I promise to post another photo when they're done.

Fingerpuppets!!

Recognise this little guy? I know he's missing his thing patch on the front, I will embroider that onto some white felt and glue it on soon. My niece is very much into Dr. Seuss at the moment so I thought I'd knit up some finger puppets for her. I also have been working on the Lorax. My daughter loves his big bushy eyebrows. If I'm not careful she might take the two of these guys for her own collection. If anyone has any suggestions on which other characters I should do, or who their favorites are, let me know!
