Maybe next year

I only entered four things in our fair this year, but three of those did well, 2 first places and one second place. I didn't get my little room finished so I will save it for next years fair.

My crocheted doily got a first place blue ribbon. It is "Flying Comet" pattern from a 1949 book.

Tiny crochet teddy bear

I've done some more work on the miniature bed but can't seem to start the other room items!
Meanwhile, I crocheted this tiny panda bear using 2 strands of DMC floss and a #10 steel hook. He's the smallest I've done so far!

Entries for the fair

I love this girl's room by designer Robyn Karp, so much so that I want to make a miniature diorama of this room for a fair entry. I have been working on it, but it is slow going since I've never done miniatures like this before. I have the headboard done after several failed attempts!

The bedskirt is not exactly right yet, so have more to do on it, I think the mattress is done.

This little thrift store doll Lissy thinks I'm making this room for her, so she is keenly watching my progress. I'm not going to tell her I'm really making it for an entry in the fair. This photo of the bed is just to show how it will "sort of" look, it is not finished at all! Stay tuned, I will post more photos as I progress.

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.
