Waiting to meet our new mommies.

What will our new mommies Name us?

We have our bags all packed and ready to go. Great Grandma/Grandpa will deliver us to our new mommies---Probably at Thanksgiving time.

We are ready to go, but will rest until we get there. Because we know when we get there our new mommies - Zabryna & Charis will shower lots of lovin on us, and give us a good home. We are expecting to have a lot of fun with them!


P.S.
The Great Grandmother/Grandfather who got these dolls has been like a mother/father to me the past 6-7 years. They have been very gracious in watching our bird Paco for us when we go places. In appreciation of their helping us and not taking any payment, we wanted their great granddaughters to have a set of these to enjoy.

Zabryna & Charis We hope you have a great time playing with these dolls.

The California Raisins

Who remembers the California Raisins? My nephew totally loved them when he was young. In my recent visit to his room when I stopped to see them, I find that he still has the pictures that I made for him, years ago.
The center one is a bit blurred, but it does have his name on the side of it.
Chalk the blurr up to the fact that I was actually standing on his futon to take these photos.

Justin, I am so glad you are still enjoying these pictures after this many years.
Your Aunt Verna had forgotten all about them.

Repair job, lead to new one. Merry Christmas Amy.

Amy tore the corner of her apron, so I not only mended her current apron,
but made her a new one.
Here she is with her new apron.

Below I am displaying her apron. It doesn't show up on her like I would have liked, since they wear black tops also.


Nobody will steal her apron. It has her name on the back.

Many moons ago

Many, many years ago, I did this picture for my neice. Actually the boy, rock and sheep are stuffed with cotton from the back.
I had forgotten that I had done this when I was single (many, many moons ago), the last time I was at my neices I saw it hanging in the hallway.

I'm glad she is still enjoying this piece.
And how true on the saying..."The Lord Is My Shepherd!"

Thank you dear Jesus for everything you have done for me in the past!

Resonse to Beanjube

Beanjube has left a new comment on your post "Plastic canvas paper dolls off to their new home i...":

Where on earth did you find these patterns? My godmother had made a whole set like you have done for my little sister when we were kids. Having a 3-year old girl of my own, I wanted to make these for her cause she had a blast playing with Auntie's. (who lives over 1,000 miles away from us) I contacted my godmother and she no longer had them or couldn't find the patterns anymore. I have looked all over online and can only find the pattern for the nightgown & the doll herself. Any suggestions?


I have given away, sold and made a number of sets for other people.
I made a set for my daughter years and years ago. I do have a pattern book (Somewhere in my sewing room), but have recently moved so I can't just put my fingers on it at the moment.) wait, let me go look I know where it was at the old house. Let me check something.


WOW, I am amazed. I found it... The pattern book I usesd is called Dress-Me doll.
I googled it and found it on Annie's attic, but they were sold out the number on the book is 87P16.

Good luck hunting for the book. If you deciede you would like a set or a partial set, let me know. My e-mail address is on my profile.

Afghan & Quilt went to resale shop

This afghan and quilt were taken to the resale shop. Hopefully they will keep some unknown person warm and get used. They have been sitting in my storage closet for a number of years and since we downsized they simply had to go.


This is a double knit quilt that I made when we lived on Roosevelt Ave. and had a water bed. OLD, OLD, OLD.....

The ladies at the resale shop (which is a church run shop/proceeds help the church), well, they should really like me the past couple weeks, they got tons of stuff from us lately.
