Bit of Whimsy Prims

I want to share another one of my favorite Etsy Shops.
Bit of Whimsy Prims. Sarah designs her dolls and
offers her patterns for sale. All of them are sweet!
She also has dolls for sale, if you aren't a sewer,
or haven't got the time. The Gnomes are just a few of the
dolls she has to offer. Love those, but my real favorites
are the monkeys, and the lambs, and the goats...oh heck,
I love them all. And I love her choices of color and fabrics.

Sarah even has a video on youtube you can watch.

Her patterns are copyrighted and she asks that you
respect that when you buy a pattern.
So, I'm off to sew...cause I have a pattern or two for
Christmas to do.

A Christmas Annie

I've put up my beads for a while and dragged out my sewing
machine. I'm thinking of Christmas and using up my stash
of materials. I got this really cute pattern from an Etsy shop
called bowlsnannies . De is the designer and she makes the
sweetest dolls and offers the patterns for sale.
So I got the one below:

Cyndy Ann...
Isn't she just the sweetest thing? How can you not want one?
Another favorite of mine is this little one, My Annie:

I love her pink hair! It's so sweet. like cotton candy.
So, I have most of the stuff I need, except in all my HUGE stash
of yarn, can you believe that I have NOTHING that could
serve for hair? So I thought I would go to town and check out
the new yarn shop. Needle in a Haystack, keep it local like
I should. It's really a nice shop and the people are so helpful.
I found two patterns that I had to have. Felted slippers like the
flip flops you wear around the swimming pool.
(Remember... warm sunny days:0)
And a pattern for a sweet pair of baby booties.
And yes, I found the two perfect yarns for hair on the Annies.

These are the best colors. But I had a bit of sticker shock when I
paid for the two. Oh well, it's for the Annies....
