ABBY on Etsy!

I have finished the shoes!  It was causing some distress because I had it in my mind that I would crochet some booties.  Well after ordering a pattern and watching a few online tutorials, I thought I would finally be able to make a decent pair of booties.  No such luck - three attempts at two different patterns has not yet yielded acceptable results.  I guess I still need more practice and patience before any dollies will get crocheted booties from me!  I did manage to make some felt shoes, however, that I think turned out just fine.

 

Abby has been keeping herself busy while I take care of my daughter (at home with a cough and fever):

 

Watching the chickens up to no good

Passing the time with a puzzle

Petting the dog

Daydreaming of her new home

Creating masterpieces

Abigail is now ready to post on Etsy at www.rosesandcream.etsy.com:

I am also selling blankets that are coordinated with the colors of the dolls I make.  They could be purchased with the doll, but I am selling them separately in case someone wants just one or the other.  My daughter loves to play with blankets - making beds for dolls, wrapping them up and carrying them around.  She likes to make forts with them, have little pretend picnics or tea parties on them - tons of different things.  I created the blankets with two layers of fabric sewn together (with no batting) so that they have a nice weight to them, but they can be easily used as a table cloth on a child's table or as a picnic blanket in the back yard on a sunny afternoon.  Here is the blanket I made to go with Abby:
