Here is Brenda in her new outfit. If you need more poses, let me know. Hope you like the little changes to her dress, Ruth. Is it raining on your barbeque? Love, Linda

























I really like the way the green in the dress brings out the color of her eyes. and I think the little red buttons are a perfect touch.
I think the elastic around the sleeves needs to be a little tighter though.
She looks cute.
OH ....... and she needs some rouge on her cheeks! LOL
A girl has to have her makeup on........HA
Sorry I forgot to do that.
peggly

And her green eyes match perfectly!!! Nice job Linda. Ruth

Banner


This is a banner I am making to go into a window display at one of the downtown Corvallis stores.  The team has  loads of members and I volunteered to make all the signage!  :)
I have to figure out what to do about the *m* on the end. and then I will glue them all down
The sign is 10 feet long and 24" tall.  
I will post pics of the display next week after it is set up.   Am learning alot and is way fun.....
Thanks to Ruth and her great tips on *how to*........

Felt is so fun!!!





Hi Linda, This outfit could probably use a funky kind of sweater, what do you think? I am going to send it to Peggy for the display in Corvallis, but I could send you some of the fabric for you to match. Let me know what you think. Ruth

Oh my word..... it looks like you had the very most fun today!
What a wonderful outfit. I love it!
I got the oriental outfit today and will get the doll assembled tonight or tomarrow
Way to go Idaho!
love peg

This is so perfect for Corvallis. I mean the wild socks with the sandals. That is so northwest it is funny. I think I have the perfect yarn for a sweater. I found 1 skein of some merino that is kind of an olive green tweed. Send me a little piece of the green felt to make sure it doesn't clash. I wanted to do that next so now is a good time. I have the white vest finished. It is just getting blocked and I will finish another self-striping denim blue and khaki one tonight. Will post pictures maybe tomorrow after they are dry and then get them in the mail. Those socks are just over the top. Love you guys, Linda

This is what I did over the last couple of days. This is what 1 lb of handspun wool looks like.













I always worry about either dropping the dye pot or splashing it all over the floor hence the plastic tablecloth. Isn't it attractive?





















1 lb of Corriedale wool. Hmmm, what shall I make out of it? Any ideas, anyone?

















The label on the bottle of dye said "Spruce" which I thought would be a shade of green for some reason. Silly me. Hope you all had an interesting weekend too. Linda










Linda, I love the color!!!! Even if is is "Spruce".... it must be the blue spruce variety! Looks like really nice wool. Ruth
