From curtains to...grocery bag

My dear friend Marilyn gifted me her dining room curtains when it was time to redo the room.  Wow, they were 100% linen in a lovely light carmel colour.



I confess I have a thing about mismatched fabric grocery bags and so I cut apart our local Co-op's plastic bag and used it for the pattern.



I was pretty pleased with the result.  How about you...

Tilda Dolls

Yes, I have been bitten by the Tilda bug.  I just had to start with dolls.

cotton doll parts

They come in two sizes.  So simple to trace the pieces and sew them together on a flat piece of fabric.

Cotton stuffed dolls

How cute is this?....

Once more Socks well Tiny ones


So our son gave us some good news recently that we will be expecting a new grandchild this spring.  So in my new tradition, I knit him a pair of bootees to display on his desk at work.  He seemed quite sceptical that they would fit, hee hee.  I can hardly wait.  What a great way to start a new year.
