American Girl Doll Sweaters

Hello,

Although the calender says it is Spring but Winter refuse to leave.  I see snow in the forecast for tomorrow. Therefore, the American girl dolls need some sweaters to keep them warm. :)

This gray one is my favorite.
This second one has no seem.  I used circular needle for the sleeves.  It has a very nice clean look but oooh the time it took to knit those two tiny sleeves are just too long.   


Here are all of them
They are all made from top down with little seem.

TopNote Purses The Other Way

Hello,

What a roller coaster temperature we had in the past a few days.  Saturday the temperature was in the mid 60, then Sunday it went down to 40.  This morning we woke up with 3 inches of snow and it is still snowing. Crazy weather! O.k enough of the boring winter weather.

 I saw this on google search and absolutely love it so I gave it a try.



They are so pretty. I love all three colors. 

Here is my craft show sharing from Saturday.  As I mentioned at my last post, I normally don't do craft show in March because some people were probably just paid off their bills from Christmas shopping. :)   People buy things only if they can use it or give it as a gift.  It is March so I didn't expect much.   As always I set my goal; it was between $100 - $150.  I sold $115 and Faye sold $11 of her Rainbow Loom charms.   I will go back there in November to give it another try.  I love the spot that they gave me.

Until next time

Knit and Crochet American Girl Jackets

Hello,

It is soooo cold out that even the American girl dolls need to bundle up.  I saw these jackets on google search then I put my brain to work and here are the jackets.

This first one is my favorite.  The buttons do add a nice touch to the clothing.



This last one is crochet.  I like it too.

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Birthday Cards

Hello,

We had a gorgeous weather over the weekend.  The snow were melting and we finally saw the grass for once in a long time. But more snow is on the way.  Oh, well, it is still winter after all.

Any way, I made these cards awhile ago.  They looked like I spent a lot of time on them but they are quick cards.  They are all the same layout just different color.




I had a hard time finding nice buttons for the doll clothes.  My niece told me a thrift store in Philadelphia. I drove by that place all the time but never went in.  Until last Saturday I went in oh boy so many buttons. They store them in big plastic containers.  I had to search for the buttons that I like.   They are 10 cent each no matter size or design. I went for the big and fancy looking ones. I thought it was a good deal.    What do you think?


These are my favorite.  They are about 3/4 " big.


Have a wonderful week a head.
