I'm so glad you posted over here, too. I was getting ready to post them on this thread so they wouldn't get missed. I made comments on the sign up thread, as well, but I love these little dolls. Everyone is doing such fun little dolls. I also mentioned on that other thread that that pumpkin pin cushion was suppose to have my address on it... (kidding...) I love it!

I hadn't seen any of the scrubbies made like that until I saw some in a bulk/quilty store up in PA earlier this spring. I think they were selling for $6 each. I had forgotten about them, but I think they are really neat. Those would make a great item for a craft fair. Do you make them for Christmas gifts?

I'll post a picture of the two dolls I made since they have both been received by their new Mommies. I made Jumping Jack and Sideways Sam. Jack went to sapdoggie, and Sam went to Ruth Camp. I really had in mind something different on these, and they didn't come out the way I wanted. I really didn't think they were some of my best work, but the new Mommies like them, and that's all that matters. After seeing Jack in sapdoggie's post, I think he looks better. I guess I was being a little too critical of my work. Here are the dolls before they left WV.

The scrubbies are the first ones I have tried to make. Several of my customers at Hobby Lobby have been buying tulle and net and are making them for craft fairs and gifts. I wanted to try making them.

Glad you like the idea. I might try more later. I am already in the middle of too many projects right now :D :D :D :D

By the way- yes you are way too hard on yourself and your talents. YOU ARE AN AMAZINGLY TALENTED LADY.

I have enjoyed being on the learning and receiving end of your talents. Thank you for sharing with all of us even though you don't know all of us personally, your heart and love for others glows.

MY mom used to make a lot of scrubbies, be careful, she wore a hole in her sofa making them, The netting running across the sofa made a huge wear spot.

How funny!! I'll be careful. I have a sheet over my recliner to keep the dog hair under control. ( My dogs think it is their chair when I am not in it.) It should help protect the upholstery, too.

barbsbus, I hope that Up North's scarecrow doesn't get picked apart by Moosegirl's witch. That witch looks candy corn sweet, but mischievous to me.

You all did a wonderful job on the dolls. It looks like you had a lot of fun making them.
