Things I've been working on

Made a tiny crochet teddy bear 

Made two doll size miniature afghans, one on the right is a ripple pattern, (that is a Barbie doll sofa they are on)

Made these felt Christmas fawn ornaments  for family, friends, and co workers (also made the felt dog for myself). I got the inspirations for these online, (http://myfelt-carla.blogspot.com.br/)

Made this little crochet Christmas mouse from pattern by Sharon Ojala, 

This is a project I entered in the fair last fall and won first place. The theme was "My Favorite Fair Scene" and I chose exhibits. I did this in miniature, I made everyting except the scrapbook pictures of pumpkins and sun flowers, I even made the baskets. The height of the side of the frame is about 14 inches. So even though I haven't posted often I have been creating!

Crochet Barbie dress

This is a cute little crochet Barbie dress pattern I got on ravelry. She likes it...and her little closet was found at the thrift shop for pennies....as well as the dresses and purses.

Barbie find

I found a cute little folding Barbie house at Goodwill By the Pound yesterday for a dollar. I haven't been there for ages, especially since all that's going on with mom and DH and I were both sick about a month ago....so anyway.  I googled the bottom picture ..It's a Barbie Princess Charm School playset dorm room. I see I'm missing a few pieces. It has year 2010 on the bottom.

Lastest craft project: Barbie Hatboxes

Supplies

Paint anywhere you don't want brown to show.

I printed Barbie logo on scrapbook paper for the cover. Scrapbook paper to cover sides. I found heavier paper

worked better for sides (not cardstock, cardstock worked

well for top and bottom)

I lined inside of top and bottom, and covered sides. I used

Alleens's Fast Grab Tacky Glue and also a gluestick.

Punched two holes and insterted eyelets (found in scrapbooking

section at craft store) and insterted cord. Tie knots at ends of

cord on inside. Glue cord as trim around the top and bottom.

I added pink flowered tissue paper for the inside (purchased at Dollar Tree). I think they turned out kinda cute!

Book Sale!

I recently went to an annual book sale and found these three beauties! I love fashion books, and this one spotlights five designers. One very interesting one is Adrian, he designed for movies and later had his own fashion line. He was from 40's and later. The Barbie books shows clothing made for Barbie from 1959 til 1967, the details and accessories for her were amazing. And the jewelry book has scrumptious photos of jewelry.

Happy Halloween!

I entered this Barbie doll in the sewn doll clothes division at the fair, but she didn't win at all! She was my favorite entry, I even made her a little black cat.

Not a success...

I'm entering a catagory in our local fair for doll clothes and I wanted some pretty shoes for a Barbie doll. I don't want to pay a fortune for the shoes and I don't like the plastic ones I have so I attempted to make shoes....but I wasn't successful. Barbie's foot is so darn small and she has no toes to speak of, and the shoes won't fit. And they don't look so good anyway. Oh well, I tried!
