Creative 2019

This year I am hoping to be a lot more creative, whether it be through knitting, sewing, or writing blog stories, or some other craft.  To encourage the shift from 'buying' to using and enjoying what I have.  I am hoping to create at least one thing a day for the month of January.

While Henry is busy undergoing his 'surgery'  (I have been having regular updates, and he is behaving very well (of course) ) I have been knitting in the evenings for my Childhood Tressy doll.


First up I knitted this stylish grey dress, and made her a leather belt to go with it.


Next Day was a pleated skirt with polar neck top.


Apparently she wanted a swimsuit - very optimistic for this time of year!


Next was a classic dress


I started the 'shell' blouse for Sindy, but Tressy claimed it so I had to knit a skirt to match.


Then along came this set, and of course these two skirt and top sets can 'mix n match'.

Tressy is just so stylish and lovely to knit for.  It is good to be knitting again, and keeping things small, isn't so taxing.

I do have three orders to fulfil for Sasha and some Schoenhut dolls, and hoping to make a start on the first of those next week.

  1. I'm really pleased for you that you're knitting and sewing again - keeping it small is definitely a good idea to make it possible.

  2. Tressy will certainly take her place on the "best dressed" doll list this month. Her outfits are adorable.
    Hugs for Henry.
