So I dumped the camera, have been resizing and cropping, and now I have something to show for all the things I've made so far this week and last. I have three dolls to make for Christmas gifts, I'm showing off the doll my Grandma made me (in 1977!), and DD requested her lower bunk look like "a train car, with curtains" - so I made them for her.

Dannielle, I tried to use your Annie pattern, and it was just too small for my fingers! I drew around my old doll and fiddled with it until this happened:

She's got a floppity head, so I'll need to stuff the others a little better!
Here's the one I made next to the one Grandma made me:

I'm trying to copy the embroidery as best I can (you can see, it's still in progress). I'll take a better pic of mine vs. Grandma's this week.

And here's Clare's "train car" curtains. She *loves* her new little clubhouse! (Don't mind the mess, it *is* a room shared by two heathens LOL) :

This is just my "I need to make *something* cuz I have the itch to sew" project. It may end up as a bed quilt/blanket for our Full bed:

Thanks for looking! Hope the pics aren't too big, I resized them all twice :)

You've been so busy! I think the doll looks great, and I love the bed curtains - such a fun hide-away. Will look forward to seeing how the quilt comes along!
