I couldn’t help it. I used a scrap from the lady bug doll and make a little dotee doll. It’s like a baby. If you want to adopt it, you can join this group: http://flickr.com/groups/620400@N25/pool/
I used a cotton scrap, some polyester batting, embroidery floss, and beads. Oh, and that is another sculpty molded face. I [...]

So, I know I usually post videos on Fridays. But I really wish it was Friday. Does that count?
Here’s a fun one I found on YouTube of Speed Sewing. It was fun watching a bag made in three minutes. Plus, for all of you green people out there, you might want to know that she [...]

I was talking to a lady on Swap-Bot named Ladybug. We decided to do a private swap where we would send Dotee Dolls to each other. Since I’ve been on a big Dotee Doll kick lately, I thought it would be fun to make another one—just for her.
Well, when I was in Washington buy some [...]

I have started work on my brother’s wedding quilt. Well, it will be his wedding quilt if it turns out how I want to. I am very picky when it comes to making wedding quilts. (Just ask my mother, grandmother, or husband).
The plans for this quilt are to use light, medium, and dark shades of [...]

How to Knit Video
Posted in Etsy, tagged beginner, DIY, how to, knit, knitting, needles, video, Yarn on February 23, 2008 | No Comments »
This is the knit stitch that I’ve been working on. I like the poem Kelsey Innis shared on this DIY video:
In the front door,
And out the back,
Around the flagpole,
And up jumps jack!
This video is very helpful. I see what I was doing wrong! When I get the hang of it, I’ll post another picture.
My first try at knitting

I went to visit my friend, Eye Candy Studio, in Walla Walla, Washington. (Don’t you just love how that city sounds?) We had a great time eating southern comfort food, gardening, going to a yarn store, and browsing a crafter’s favorite–JoAnn Fabrics.
I picked up my first grown-up pair of knitting needles and a skein of [...]
