Audrey's felted T Bear

I made this bear a few years ago. When I find the book, I'll give you the title. It might have been Felt It but I'm not sure.

Hitty Pinafore for Ronald McD House

The Hitty Girls, a yahoo group, is donating a doll house, Hitty dolls, and doll clothes to a new Ronald McDonald House being built near where one of the members lives. This is my contribution: a crocheted pinafore.

Another Hitty done, this one is small

She's a Bitty--just four and a half inches tall or so. She wants clothes!! And I need to refinish her shoulder; I had to shave a little off to make it look better. I call her my sampler doll, as her body is pine, her arms are basswood, and her legs are butternut. I need to remember to drill the leg and armholes BEFORE I carve. Her body is a little skewed. But I love her anyway!

Jane has clothes!

Considering she's been waiting about a hundred years for something to wear, I think she's probably pretty happy, even though she looks PO'd. I named her Jane after one of the dollhouse dolls in Beatrix Potter's children's book A Tale of Two Bad Mice. That was one of my daughter's favorite books when she was little and I just bought a copy for my granddaughters at Powells Books in Portland a couple weeks ago. It's a great story! Audrey loved it and I read it to her twice (at her request) and LaMont read it to her again.

Kids love repetition of stories they like. I so much prefer interesting stories like Potter's to some of the later Dr. Seuss. The first Seuss books were good: Bartholomew and the Five Hundred Hats, To Think that I Saw it on Mulberry Street, If I Ran the Zoo, etc. The later ones got a little boring (for me) to read and read and read, although I did like Green Eggs and Ham.  When my daughter was ten and having a birthday sleepover, we heard all this ruckus in the kitchen at 4:00 a.m. There they were, six little girls fixing green eggs and ham  for their (early) breakfast!!!

New Blog: Thursday Morning Knitters

Lots of our knitting group members wanted a place to post pictures of their projects, so I made a Facebook Page for us. However, most don't DO Facebook, so I made this blog for them: thursamknitters.blogspot.com

Come on over and take a look.
