    SewExtreme: What a great bag. The underwear repurposing is such a clever idea. Its bad enough we find quilt patterns in everything, now we are finding doll clothes in everything else.

    There should always be another use for things than their original purpose. As long as it doesn't look like a pair of granny panties tied. On the doll's head, I'm ok with it.

    today i gave my some day dgd some dolly and me outfits. Her first question? Did you make them?? She wants me to make a dress for her, too, so you know i will! Dgd's are so much fun!!

    love the tote! I try to make the pieces with the same finishes i use on people clothes . That is the challenge and fun of it for me.

    I have two sons. So far my dgd is acting so much like her daddy i am taken back thirty three years! Boys are a blast, and tender and sweet, too. I would gladly have ten of each!

    How cute! My plan this year is to make pj pants for everyone and buy tops. D-almostgd will get the matching sets for her two dolls. For her birthday she and my dd are getting matching aprons and a cookbook, as well as aprons for her. Dolls. Figure i only have a couple years left at. Best, and then other dgd should be old enough for the dolls. Then four more years with her! And good news. Tonight--- i was told i will be a grammi again ( but don't tell anyone, ok? Thanks! Lololol. I am a happy woman. Dgd was given a bitty baby for her b'day so i will make some clothes for that baby, too.
