Knit doll dress

Barbie dress #1

I knit this with baby yarn. It was a test knit of the top half of dress. I then went back and crochet the bottom of dress. And since the baby yarn made it bell like, I added a tulle underskirt.

Barbie dress #2
I used a finger weight wool, purchased at the thrift store.
I mostly followed the pattern for this one.

And Acorns
Each Acorn top was about 1 1/4 inches.
The leaves are paint stamped on felt.
Each Acorn body has three sections, using scraps of fabric from my Dear Jane quilt project.
I was thinking mini pincushion, but think it would make nice ornament as well.

Angel

From another issue of Craft magazine. (Aug 1995)

Cute.
She is supposed to have a jingle bell in her hands.
I followed the instructions, except for the whit ruffle on her dress. it looked a little too stiff so I changed the second round to loops. It probably would have been fine if I had used the called for hook and not one one size smaller (it was already out.)

UFO Friday

70 Santa Head Christmas tree ornaments
I started these a few years ago. I don't think I will cut out so many if I ever mass produce anything else. These added to the ones I had finished makes at least 105.
Edited to add: Today I sewed on 70 jingle bells and the cord loops to hang them. They had been sitting waiting just for those two things to finish them up.

Hello Kitty ... cute as a button!

The Buttons were sorted and after looking at all the pictures of button wreaths others had done, Myra said "Can we make one of Hello Kitty's Head?"

What WasYour Favorite Childhood Ornament?

My Favorite was a Hobby Horse Candy Cane Holder.

Above is the One from my childhood.
Which still is a part of My parents collection.

Below is My updated version.
(different because I had no picture of the original until after I made the new ones.)

I made several of these to use in place of bows on my Christmas presents for nieces and nephews.

More finishes!

Three More Christmyth Ornaments from Dragon Dreams. I forgot I had these stitched and found them in the file folder with my Freebie print outs.

Myra requested a Hermit Crab Ornament.

And to reflect his current interests, I made Noah a dinosaur.
