Soooooo cute! I love the eyes! Now I will have to purchase those patterns also. Gosh..it's endless .lol But well worth it! Keep up the great work.
That would be like the blind leading the blind...I don't know what I am doing half the time...it is just trial and error....LOL!! It is a "family secret" how many heads I have thrown out!! Hahaha!
And it appears I was confused about the Fruitful ...
Thanks Jody for the link...without that I would have never looked at those...I LOVE that Vampire on the bobbin....really neat..But...I especially like Molly and the Annie with the teddy bear. Love their cute expressions.
Cindy...if you got Sweet M...
I used to have a few of Fruitful Hands patterns...she doesn't live that far from me across the stateline. Thank you for that...I will look that up...and I will check out that AC Moore. There is a factory close by me that makes it also...can't reme...
I like the brand called Poly-fil made by Fairfield. I noticed WalMart stopped carrying it and now only offer the "fluff" in the blue and white box. I hate that stuff!! It is not as soft nor airy. It is heavy and clumps. And my biggest pet peev is ...
That is the one! Made many... and some I did just the head for fridge magnets. I forgot macrame that was also in the 70's. I think that will come back too.
LOL, well they say the vintage look is in right?
Panty hose dolls....are those the ones that resemble Cabbage Patch Kids? Those were cute! I bet if you brought those out of retirement...they would make some money for you...Kinda like those Reborn dolls. LOL!!
I remember all of those... I think we need to take some pictures of those from the 70s that would be fun :-)
Hi Kat,
Thanks so much for joining the talking crafty, and for starting the discussions. Your page looks wonderful!
I started crafting at birth I think : ) In the 70's I use make bread dough ornaments, 80's pantie hose dolls and magnets, the 90'...

- In regards to your last comment: I agree, we would have never pictured you to be the tomboyish type by the dolls. I was showing mom pictures of you 4 wheeling and she agreed! LOL I think it's great, my son and husband would be so jealous. Matt (my husband) got nick his little 70cc honda a few weeks ago and now they have been riding on our mountain. He is starting to expand his territory a little more. He is great on it though, I couldn't be more surprised by him. Before the kids, we were into the camping/4 wheeling and all that fun stuff... Chloe seems too make all that a little difficult for me since I simply can't sit down to enjoy campfire without worrying whether or not she will try to pick up a log and throw it in. When she gets a little older I'm sure we will start back up but for now, nick and his daddy do a lot of that.

- Kat,
Yes I made that...but it is a hippo. I made it for my daughter for Christmas. One of her very favorite Christmas songs is All I want for Christmas is a Hippopotimus (not sure how to spell:LOL). I forget the pattern maker. I can find out if you want to know. She was fun to make. Those popping out eyes were different but fun. Take care.
