IN PROGRESS

Oh! I excitedly joined a new yahoo group.... Friends of Cloth Doll! While blog hopping the other day, I happened upon a ragdoll swap. I joined and registered only to find that the swap dates had been changed. Of course, I was disappointed at first, but I decided to make a ragdoll anyway. While looking for a pattern for her, I located a group of long ago ordered doll patterns (circa 2002)...seems I have a cache of Judi Ward patterns....The Whatever! doll; BIA doll and clothing; and a baby doll... there are about six dolls of varying shades already cut out....found about six small ragdolls' torsos, arms, and legs...stuffed....but where in the world are the HEADS? Oh! No! I've lost my HEADS!!! lol....anyhoo, here is a picture of my ragdoll in progress...soon she will whisper her name... I also have a baby doll head and torso stuffed..will show pictures as baby progresses!

RUNAROUND BAG

This is just a little something I whipped up using Joan Hawley's LazyGirlDesigns "RUNAROUND" bag. I experimented with the pattern a little by self-facing all the pattern pieces prior to assembling them...found that the seams are really too thick...but a cute purse all the same.....
