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.
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.
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.
ReplyDeleteWell that is the idea anyway - just need to pace myself :)
DeleteTressy will certainly take her place on the "best dressed" doll list this month. Her outfits are adorable.
ReplyDeleteHugs for Henry.
She may well be!
DeleteI am sure Henry will appreciate your hugs...he is 'between' surgeries at the moment ;)
You have certainly hit the ground running with those knitting needles of yours Lorraine. .great outfits 👏
ReplyDeleteHa ha, winter is definitely the time to knit and I really missed not being about to do it last year.
