On Friday, I got the measurements from my mom for her sweater, I received a back issue I had ordered containing a pattern I’m really excited about for another project, and I started Olivia’s backpack. Abigail’s backpack is also waiting patiently for its turn. When it rains…….
This weekend, I’ve been splitting my time between Olivia’s backpack,
and my own version of this (scroll down to June 16th). I am so excited to have found a small, worsted weight doll pattern! I’ve been looking for one for a couple of years now. A BIG thank you goes out to Alison’s blog for linking it, and Kerstin for knitting it! Mine is pretty crazy. I’ve mostly finished the doll, and I’m working on a cabled A-line dress for her right now. I’m going to be making a lot of these little cuties, I think.
One more thing….. Since the weekend my mom visited, and picked up her car, (a 1953 Bentley), I’ve been missing the old car I used to drive to high school, like really missing it. I guess love for classic cars runs in my blood. Yesterday I found my car on eBay. I haven’t wanted something this bad for a long, long time! It’s exactly like the one I used to drive when I was 16, but in a different color. I loved that car! This one is GORGEOUS!

The backpack is looking great, anymore thoughts on the lining?
I have just ordered that magazine for the doll pattern, it is soo cute, can’t wait to make customized dolls,for my friends girls.

As far as lining goes, I’m going to wait until they are done so I can get exact measurements, as opposed to the crude math and estimations associated with felting. I’m glad you like the dolls. They are fun to do, and very cute.

Great backpack. But I wanna see the best friend doll! Can’t wait.

OK, OK, I finished her up this morning, but she’s still naked. And I think I’m going to redo or tweak her eyes. They’re pretty, but she looks perpetually worried.
