I am excited to share these super snuggly Waldorf Inspired Baby Dolls the kids and I made last week. You can get the pattern here… Waldorf Doll Patten. These are fun to make and the materials were minimal. I used some micro-fleece left over from my pocket diaper sewing days and some mismatched socks. Beginners do not …

To get more information and photos of this project, CLICK HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE. I created the Treasure Pouch so my grandbabies could take them along on walk-abouts. It’s just big enough, 7″ x 6″, to tuck away several “keepers”, without being too heavy or cumbersome! Materials: Pattern Pieces Snail Applique Pattern Flower Applique Pattern …
November’s Pattern of the Month is now ready! Spoon dolls, as we know them today, probably originated in Colonial America, where resourceful mothers and children, made playthings from available materials. Wooden spoons, a staple in rich and poor families alike, offered a ready made head, and their bodies could be elaborate, adorned with bits of …
Make up this holder to help you get organized when you are out-and-about. Reduce it to 70% and it would make a great holder for standard sized business cards. I’ve included a pdf with my design, but get creative. Creating your own design is great fun! Hint: When placing appliques on the background, make sure …
Now that summer is gone and autumn has entered the Thicket, evenings can get quite chilly. Gnomes are very resourceful and waste nothing. Scraps of material left over from other projects get squirreled away to make quilts. Although this quilt can be sewn on a sewing machine, I highly suggest that you hand piece …
I just finished up a Treasure Pouch for myself. The kids told me I needed my own so I stopped using theirs. I like to collect acorns too, you know. My mom had made all the kiddos their pouches so this was my first completed pouch. I used a pair of old jeans for the …
We created the Nubbie Doll with babies and mommies in mind. Nubbies have everything a baby loves; satin blanket binding to rub between their fingers, nubbie hands that are perfect for chewing on, and soft cotton flannel body for snuggling and they are small enough to carry everywhere! For moms we made them machine …
Today we celebrated Pixie’s birthday. (I’m sure Michelle will include pics tomorrow.) I got a call yesterday from Michelle asking me if I made Pixie a crown. Seems we had our wires crossed, because I hadn’t. I got right on it. I was going to make a felt on as featured in Amanda Soule’s The …
Next week is Pixie’s birthday, but we are having a family celebration on Sunday. Her birthday theme is “apples” so it only seemed right that she should be decked out in an apple print. We found some fun fabric at the local craft shop, and I just finished it…way ahead of schedule, I might add! I’m sure Michelle will …
Daisy is the newest addition to our family. Finished just last night for an eager Fairy. She is the 4th Waldorf style doll I have made now… all using the awesome kits from Weir Dolls. I think she has the sweetest face yet. Pixie’s favorite lovey, Rosie, is the one I originally made for Fairy but Pixie …
Yikes. I haven’t been on all day. The site really is a mess, isn’t it? Thought I’d throw on some bits and pieces of a project I’m working on. I know I should be working on Christmas gifts, but every once in a while I need to do something that I keep!!!
