That is just so cute. I love it! It must have been so much fun to make. I have to say you could totally sell something like that at craft fairs and such. BTW, I just adore the baby in the background.

I have been asked a couple of times about the baby in the background.

 

 

Yes, I did make her. I took the pattern from a christening outfit. I had two large baby dolls that I wanted to dress. One was in a red dress for Christmas and the other was in the christening dress. I gave my neighbor a choice. She could have either one. She picked the one in the red dress, so I got to keep the other.

 

I keep her on a bench near the kitchen table.

 

My next project is ken in a pilgrim outfit (making it out of several patterns).

 

By the way, this pattern for the pincusion/paperweights, take no time at all. They wip up in a couple of days. Yes, they would be good for craftfairs.

But I have to comment on the way you posted the "changing" pic. LOVE that. Wish I wasnt so computer illiterate.
