SNIPPETS OF A YEAR GONE BY

For American Girl Dolls

Basic instructions on how to make a poncho are available at Le monde de Sucrette.  Pom Pom border instructions are from Once Upon A Pink Moon (I love making these!).  The crochet cherries pattern can be found at Maize Hutton.

 

South Bay Shawlette is a Lion Brand pattern.  I made this one in leftover sock yarn (category 1) and a very small crochet hook.  I stopped crocheting when the shawl wrapped around the doll properly and added my own picot border.

TUTTI FRUTTI

I was just messin' around and whipped up some new crochet cherry hair ornaments to replace the ones I made last year (I never made a post about that).  Frannie goes through a lot of hair ornaments.  These are a little different in that I made a long stem to attach the cherries.  I figure she can just tie them around her braid instead of using the hair bands I usually secure them to.  I'm hoping these will be easier to put on in the morning.  Last year's cherries were pink,  but I was in the mood for red this year.  They look pretty darn cute dangling off the back of her hair.  I love cherries.

CHERRY BOMB

Taking the time to squeeze in a post. Donut pincushions - felt, beads, wooden balls, floral wires, crepe paper ruffles, cupcake liners, mini pedestals, teacups, magnets, and a little glitter. Time's up!
