Can I play too? (Lurker intro)

Hi! I've been signed up on Amity for over a year now and have been lurking here and there, but haven't posted yet. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area with my husband, 2.5 year old Miriam and newborn Tobias. I do a lot of crafty stuff, and I've been wishing I knew a group of crafty mamas to share my projects with and to get inspiration from! This seems like such a fun group and your projects are all so awesome.

I've been making dolls of all sizes and shapes for over two years now. I took a Waldorf dollmaking class shortly after my DD was born and never looked back! I've been playing with bendies, 5-6" soft dolls of my own pattern, and nature table dolls. I'm also just plain hooked on wool felt. I made a little needlecase recently and kicked myself when I saw that you did a needlecase swap here!

I also do all kinds of other crafts - from knitting to weaving to - well, you name it, I have a stash for it. I'm a junkie and I admit it. Anyway, I hope I can hop in and share some projects and get to know the mamas here!

anabean, how cool to find a local mama here!

I'll try to include some pictures - hope I'm doing this right!

Our family of mama made dolls and toys


A little doll - 5" tall, made entirely from recycled scraps from other projects!
