We Have A Situation ...

 I know what little Derby is thinking ...

I have the S-I-T-U-A-T-I-O-N & not him.

 When my sister was here we made a trip

to Walmart.  Did you know that some stores are

starting to carry bolts of fabric again?

 The fabric for the 3 double ruffle party dresses

were dirt cheap [especially if you're only

purchasing a half a yard].  

 This fabric I purchased to use as an

edging for a baby quilt [which has

yet to be finished].  I had enough

leftover to squeeze out a small dress.

 Debby made this adorable daisy dress.

I added the cream colored daisy trim to the hem

 and the bright pink flower to the waist.

As added pieces I made a head scarf

and the purse.  I couldn't resist adding a silk

flower daisy as an accent to the bag.

 When I saw the scotties I had to get it. 

You can't tell but on the bodice I added crystals

and flat back pearls to the tea pot, tea cup and cherries.

 I had just enough to make this purse.

Can you see the 3 crystals I added to the scotties coat?

To finish I added a scottie button as an accent.

 My sister made a whole lot of American Girl doll

clothing for donation to the Westie Foundation

of America auction with McKenna the American Girl doll.

I pressed every single piece yesterday morning

before putting them away.

The dress above and below are her creations.

I added to the bodice flat back pearls to the dots

and the flower button and ribbon on the blue dress.

To the pink dress [below] I simply added pink

rick-rack around the bodice and hem.

THE

S-I-T-U-A-T-I-O-N

AT HAND

DRAWER 1

 When I went to put away all the new clothing

I ran into 'THE SITUATION' ... there was NO room

in the bachelor chest I'm using in the back bedroom
to store all the completed clothing.

 DRAWER 2

 DRAWER 3

I went on-line and searched for ideas on

how to store doll clothing.  This is one idea

I found which doesn't work for me simply 

because [you know] I have an excessive amount

of clothing.  But I would still love to have

one of these racks but not for the cool

asking price of $80.00!  Should any of my followers
 have a darling husband that is handy with making

things ... well let me know!

The new storage chest in the front bedroom!

FLEECE SLEEPING BAGS

FOR RESCUE

I received an e-mail from Karen who

is part of a small breed rescue group

out in Omaha, NE.

She was notified that she will be

getting 5 Yorkies at the end of the month

so she wanted sleeping bags for them.

I don't know the circumstances but I'm

betting they are from a puppy mill.

Thanks for visiting and have a great day.
