So here she is again, this time dressed:
I crocheted her little dress using a variation of Beth's (By hook, by hand) basic doll camisole pattern and added a simple shell stitch skirt. I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out and the yarn is cute too - it has a sparkle to it.
Thanks again, Beth. Am already planning my next doll..
Next, some more crafty makes...
Owls:))
Owls with pockets? Who doesn't need one?
Making more blocks ready to print:
And some lush vintage must-haves from the the olde antique shoppe:
A lovely hand stitched tablecloth- in beautiful condition. Loving that roses motif.
Vintage edging and doilies (Doilies??!! My inner granny had a loud voice that day)
And, most amusingly...
Yes, bunnies. A cruet set, no less. Cute, kitsch AND useful.
Bet you all want one now.
Wishing you all a good week!

I just love that doll!
ReplyDeleteShe is so ridiculously cute!!!
I have tried a few times to make dolls/teddies, however they turn out looking crazy creepy. Really really creepy. I have given up trying now, but the adorableness of Chloe really makes me want to try again-sooooooooo cute!!
OMG, those bunnies are adorable!!
ReplyDeleteChloe is looking good too!!

Anna, such a lovely post. I love the roses tablecloth, and your little Chloe is a delight! You did just exactly what I hope other dollmakers do: adapt the clothing patterns to your own style. Love this dress! I've always liked the versatility of this bodice, I use it all the time :-)
ReplyDeleteHope you post her picture on the Free Spirit photo group.

Chloe is so endearing. Well done! I love her sparkly pink dress. Sigh of pleasure.
ReplyDeleteI am having my first crochet lesson this Saturday so maybe I can get some doll's clothes ideas from you in future.
Thank you so much for popping over to my blog. I shall look forward to visiting you soon ;-)

Yes ma'am, I do want one now! Lovely finds, super cute owls, and I am in love with Chloe.
ReplyDeleteThe doll, the Owls, the bunnies......I'm in adorable heaven :) xx
ReplyDeleteYou doll has tured out beautifully and really professionaly finished. I love the owls- I have a penchant for them. As for the bunnies, I saw a pair similar at the boot sale on sunday, they were going for £20, a little bit out of my price range.
ReplyDeleteI just love this post, it's full of gorgeousness. Chloe's dress, the owls and those two little bunnies, wonderful!
