There is still a skirt and sweater to post but that will be a while yet I'm afraid. DD loves her AG clothing... I'll make her more after I finish the man's socks... working on the foot of the 2nd. I get about 7 minutes a day to knit if I'm lucky!


just to mention that I couldn't post in firefox today. Had to open the safari to get this in... a little frustrating

the parade of doll clothes

DD's AG Elizabeth will be busy modelling over the next few days. Now that I've found the card reader for the camera, I can take some shots other than with my phone.
This one is from the phone though.

Yarn: Top and pants Paton's Grace shoes-some remnant
Color: Sky teal
Needle: US3 US8
Recipient: Daughter
I didn't do the ribbon on the pants and I put my own belt from yarn in until I could go out and find ribbon to fit through the loops. I'll replace it though I'm sure.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the slippers... handfulled them in the kitchen sink... but they are so darn cute!

There are more clothes to come!

We went to Mama Nina's for her birthday dinner yesterday... I was stuffed and brought enough home for 2 more meals...

I can't believe she's 11. I really like the young woman she is becoming. So proud of her!! I love you sweetie

happy 10th birthday daughter

you've finally made it into the double digits and I'm happy to say that you're becoming a lovely young lady :)

It was an American Girl birthday..... once spring arrives we'll have a girl's day at the American Girl Store in New York.

My in-laws gave her this wardrobe for her AG clothing. I put it together while we watched the AG Chrissa movie

She also got a few AG books....

And I made this for her doll Elizabeth

The only thing I did was knit this is the round so there was only the sewing of putting the sleeves into the armholes.... easy knita and DD loves it.. TIme for me to knit more clothes for her because THIS she really appreciates!

It's snowing today... we're supposed to get over 12".... no school.....
