Softie wants new home....


Hello!

Thought I'd show you my little softie doll that I crocheted for the Softies For Mirabel appeal. 
(I am really getting stuck into finishing things at the moment!)
She's all dressed up ready for a new home!


And this is the thing I was working on last post, the partay dress!
I am very happy with how this turned out, it was the most fun part to make too.
I made the dress and the doll up as I went, and I think it looks ok.


..........bit of a freaky, starey face, she looks a bit ditzy I think, my embroidery skills could use some improvement.



 .......just hanging around.....


........and with the other toys in the 'hood, just chillin' out....
Hope someone out there will love her.


I have a weekend of gardening and housework ahead of me so it was nice to get a finished project out of the way. 

What have you got planned for the weekend?

Talk soon!

    What a lucky dolly to have such a pretty party dress, it looks great.

    I'm sure she'll find a loving home.......

    Going to be a warm weekend, enjoy the gardening, don't forget the hat.

    Boys are home this weekend, so it's off to the Celtic Festival in Beechworth tomorrow.

    You are amazing - I have to say that whenever I see you have a new post I have to tear over to see it. All of your toys are so fresh and original and inspiring. I am afraid I am becoming a bit of a groupie. Lots of love, Kate xxooxx.
