This fabric was a bit difficult to sew with. But it's all worth it in the end. Turned out pretty nice. I still have to hem it but waiting for Barbie to come home to be my dress form. LOL Thanks for looking

Along with my oldest children Colleen, Daniel, and Brian and Cecilia's mommy Amanda of coarse! I miss and love them all so so much!
A wonderful friend (Jillian) sent me this baby alpaca to spin. It seemed I would never get out the dirt. Then a wonderful friend I know who knows everything about getting the vim and dirt out told me a secret, soak in cold water and salt. Did a wonderful job! Thanks Franna dear! Today I dyed it in food color and now its drying. Too much fun!!! Thanks for looking!

Here is the hat I made to match the mittens. Barbie loves it and it fits. I made a few mistakes but hopefully they dont show too much.
This is an accomplishment. I'm proud that I continued on and finished the second one. Now I will start on a hat to match! Most likely there will be pic of Barbie wearing it all.
You can now find my link to my Esty store to the right of this page on top. It was brought to my attention that I have not provided this link. You can find my pincushions there. Thanks for looking!
So I'm not so impressed with my first glove, but after all it was my very first and maybe the second one will look better, or not. But I did complete one and I do know allot of people who have never attempted gloves before. So I give myself credit for that. Besides Barbie is happily waiting for the second one, she wanted to wear this one (knowing that it is 90+ degrees today) while she did her homework. Then she decided it was to awkward. LOL So I'm happy.
