Just So Cosies

I've been making some cosies for a friend.  (She needs several.)
These fit a 4-6 cup teapot.  The first two have attached or embroidered flowers...
Baby blue with crocheted flowers added on.
 
 

Lavender/cornflower color with embroidered flowers.
 
 

Baby Pink
 
 

Baby purple
 
 

Butter yellow
 
This pattern was modified from one on Ravelry called Shamrock Tea Cosy.
Though it looks crocheted, it is knitted in a Fisherman's Rib and is very stretchable.

More doll knitting



 
So BabyII in a new baby gown and bonnet I designed.
This is Tisha's doll and will be returned with knitting to her.
 
 




 
BabyII in another outfit.
 
My fingers are all done in-----no more tiny knitting for at least
a few days.

Bleuette and Hitty Patterns Designed by me

Amazing how an additional 3/4" changes the look...
 

Bleuette cape and beret sets, sans closure hardware.
Knitted in sock wool.

More cape sets and a sweater set.
 

Hitty aprons, or for 6-7" dolls.
 

The top, turquoise beret is a Bleuette beret.
The others are crocheted in sock wool and are "small" berets for Bleuette or Bambino.

Dollies and more paper beads!


This little trunk is from Hobby Lobby.  I lined it with scrapbook papers, using a tape measure, scissors, and glue.  One of my doll groups is having a challenge on "doll presentation boxes" and I'm thinking about it.  I certainly have several 5" dolls.
 
 

Here are several pics of wire earings I've made using my paper beads....






The above paper beads are only 1/4" long.  They're my favorite beads, made of catalog pages....they are really dainty.


This ForgetMeNot doll is wearing a new ivory dress with lavender duplicate stitches.

This is Dianna Effner's Bebe wearing the same dress.
 
 
Slight changes result in great versatility.  I love how soft the merino sock wool works up.  It feels like fabric (flannel) instead of yarn.
