ready for the mail....


finally had some time to bust out the sewing machine during naptime today, and i was able to finish up my little projects for chelle and jack and annabelle. i hope to box them up and get to the post office monday or tuesday but thought i would share some pictures first! :) the balls are three different sizes...the smallest jingles a wee bit, as it has a pouch of bells hidden inside, and the mid-sized one crinkles. the shoes...well, you've already seen those (and leslie...here is the link, sorry it took so long to get it posted! here is another one...very similar). and, finally, a soft dollie for miss anniebelles! i can't wait to send these off, and oh what a lovely day it has been ignoring the messiness and enjoying some craftie time!

leslie...the black apple dolls are not hard at all! i just did little felt circles sewed on for the eyes and stitched the nose and mouth on...i liked it better than their suggestions. also, on the pattern i cut the arms and legs a little wider than they suggested..made them easier to turn, and, in my opinion, they look a little more balanced than the teeny tiny skinny ones they suggest!
