I made her as a self image

 

My Self Portrait in a Doll

 

I worked the doll as a self image. How I see myself.

The dress, well, I had the yarn left from working some baby shoes. I used what was here, next to me.

You can't see the shinny crochet thread I used in the smocking and for the shoes.

Just small hints of shimmer.

 

I like making doll to look like, I see people.

 

I'm going to try some long pants and a sweater. Just to change her up.

 

Got another idea for my facebook web page; Crochet & Other Delights.

Stop by and like it.

 

til next time

 Credit should always be given to inspiration. Doll crafter, designer, 

Beth Ann Webber, is the genius behind some of the works I do.

Her Bleuette Doll, here;  Bleuette is the pattern I used for my doll, along with the smocking for the upper of the dress and shoes.

She gives and seeks nothing in return other than the pleasure of knowing her effort is appreciated.
I love her efforts.

God continue to Bless her and her family.

WOW, I've been slacking....

Hi All,

     I have been working hook and yarn, I have a lot to post. Jumping from one project to another.
I've worked a giraffe, a monkey, a doll, an eagle, just haven't taken the time to blog it.

Must be to much FACEBOOK. LOl.....

I have even worked some baby shoes. I do keep tabs of my works with ravelry, but you need to sign in with an account to see my progress. At least I have saved dates for projects. I even picked up an afghan I put away 3 yrs ago.

I really need to finish unworked projects.

The rain from Isaac, has brought much need rain to Central Illinois. Hope it isn't to late for some of the crops. It is to late for the corn, which is a commodity that the entire world uses for so many things.
It makes me wonder just kind of devastation it will cause around the world.

Our city did finially get a WWII monument. It's beautiful. I found the inscription of my grandfather.
I knew ot would be there.

Enough for now.

Bleuette

 

Bleuette

 

A doll designed by Beth A. Webber.

 

I had watched her progress making many crochet and knitted dolls and clothing for her dolls. When I seen her Bleuette doll, I knew I had to try.

I did finish the doll, I have yet to work clothes, but I was unexpectedly asked to work something else.

Just been a busy summer.

This doll works quickly, I like using the smaller hook to make a tight stitch.

No stuffing shows. YEA!

Hope to get some clothes finished soon.

 

 

til next time,
