bgs Posted May 28 Denise glad your dad is back home again. Hopefully there will be no more set backs. Glad to hear your cousin says the ear savers are appreciated. I worry about what our medical people are going thru-----some of what they are seeing is going to haunt them the rest of their lives. Then knowing they are at high risk to catch it themselves and possibly expose their families. I feel so sad for them and then to see so many people refusing to wear masks in public. Chris I love all the outfits. Glad you found a use for the sock yarn. Darski Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

babypoohsmom Posted May 30 Hi all...well my Dad is doing better. I would say that he is stable now and probably needs some rest so that he can start to improve. He needs to put on some weight. I don't feel relaxed yet, but I am hopeful. Bailey, I like the little sock yarn outfit. I have a few skeins of sock yarn that I keep under the dilution that one day I can learn to knit, because knit socks are the best. I have not been at my sewing machine or crochet hook in a while. I do hope to take some vacation days this summer to just stay in! It's 110+ degrees outside now so I have no interest in anything outside. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darski Posted May 31 I have been wanting to make something like this statue/doll ? I just emptied a dishwashing liquid container so here I am. I think this is something that will either be loved or hated when I donate it to Value Village. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

babypoohsmom Posted June 2 Wow Darski, that is a lot of tiny details. It took me a minute (with the comments from the others) to realize that you DID make it and it wasn't something you wanted to make (like you saw it on Pinterest or something). I will never look at the dish soap the same again! I'm glad you still have creativity flowing. Bailey, you are really keeping up the pace. Is it my imagination, or are you getting a lot more done this year? Cinderella is adorable. I went to my "room" after I got home from work fully intending to work on something, anything. I flipped the TV on and it was on a news channel. I switched as fast as I could and then just sat there and watched the last 40 minutes of Forrest Gump and got nothing accomplished. Sigh. Maybe tomorrow. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bailey4 Posted June 4 Our Generation Teddy Bear Top and Skirt No actual teddy bears involved this was adapted from a free Build a Bear crochet pattern someone developed. I am always looking for quick separate patterns to make and with a little adaptation this one worked out well. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darski Posted June 6 Just a note... Christine Anderson - Founder of Celt's Vintage Crochet passed away this morning. She has had health issues for some time but it was announced that it was Covid19 I love her vitage patterns - so many great doilyghans from her efforts 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bgs Posted June 15 I turned in 50 more ear savers this morning so that brings my total to 155. Sad news about Christine. She put in a lot of work to try save vintage patterns. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tampa Doll Posted June 17 I know I can find Darski on here, so I want to thank her for the shoe pattern for my Cheerleader. My doll is dressed in your pattern called Go Team, I think. I have used it several times. Here she is. Now she is waiting to be shipped to her new home in Ma. There are also other outfits for her, a tote and 3 doll blankets. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was but the system crashed when I tried to search for it. it was originally a 15" Dora pattern and I'm not sure what Tampa Doll did to fix that I just found out that the PDF has lost the picture - I will try to find a copy somewhere that I can get to--- made a new PDF sorry only one pic in the pattern - it was an early pattern Here it is: Wevegottheteam.pdf Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
