Gingerbread Doll

 This is the doll I made for our family friend Sally.  Isn't this pattern adorable?!  It's from Maureen Mills of Sweetmeadows Farm.
 Sally has decided she'd like another one, so the second one will have different clothing and bow.  The most difficult part for me was hand sewing the head on.  Hopefully the second time around will be a little easier.  I think I'll also make one for my selling blog and another to send on consignment to see how they do.

A Nice Quiet Week

 Darlene was very happy with the Frog Doll I made for her to give to her daughter.  I have another order for a Gingerbread Doll from Sally, one of my daughters old friends from high school who collects gingerbread dolls.  I ordered another pattern from Sweet Meadowsfarm called 'Cookies Anyone?'.  It's an adorable gingerbread doll.
I am 'on vacation' again, only at home this time.  No grandkids to watch this week as one grand child is in Florida with Mom and Dad for a week and the other 3 grand kids are home with Mom for 2 weeks while she is on vacation.  I had all the grand kids the last 2 weeks and while I hate to admit it, I was wore out come Friday!  I've been catching up with some housework, reading and lounging in the pool.  This morning I have an appt. with my cardiologist and then plan to start work on the Gingerbread doll and some more pool lounging.
Hope everyone is enjoying their week!
