I didn't know that autumn was your fave season..I wondered how you knew that my hair is a reddish brown..the doll has hair almost the shame color as mine..ha.
this has been a real fun swap.
hey Judith..I really hope those zinnia grow..I had a bunch of them last year by the deck ..and they were so pretty.
the butterflies loved them.

Ooooh, we definitely want pics!!! If everyone will post them somewhere - either on a blog or website or here, or send me a copy of their pic, I'll make a quick little site where we can show off all the dolls together...

| Hi Erin, do you still have the puppet template? We would be interested in using it if you are willing to share. Thanks, Jess |

Yep, I'll dig it out and scan it... I'll post an URL as soon as I have it ready.
EDITED: If anyone wants a copy of the template, please email me at erinosmith@hotmail.com. It'll be easier to send that way.

It's a really basic template for felt hand puppets. The templete is nice and simple and only uses two felt squares. I usually make a bunch of blanks and then let the kids decorate them themselves.

Frannie's dolly she made for the swap came in today! And I must say, she is adorable!!!! She slipped a few little patterns in for me, along with some sunflower seeds,and...heh, a card to send back as a thank you I'm guessing?:P haha and, not only that, but a little Prim' crow...everything is soo cute, dolly will go on the shelf and the patterns will of course be used...oh what fun!
I cant figure out how to insert images in here, so....

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU Linda!!!!!!!!!! I just received my sweet little baby from Linda, swaddled in a pink blanket and dressed up in her pretty pink dress and bonnet, lacy socks(hand decorated) and delightful little booties...she is ready for easter. So many goodies were in my box, let me see...2 bright sunny yellow skeins of yarn, 3 different prints of fabric, a journal with matching notepad and notebook, lavendar bath salts, a good smelling candle in a little glass votive and a cute floral easter egg decoration. My two year old twin girls love her so much and everyone has decided she is Little Miss Muffet. How did you match her hair and eye color to mine so well? Linda, she is absolutely adorable and everyone is taking very good care of her. Thank you so much!!!
Now, if I could only get photobucket to work, you could all see Little Miss Muffet for yourself. I will be working on this tonight.
Oh yes and I have been instructed by the kids to make her a bowl of curds and whey and a spider. But they have decided she is not afraid of them, she is friends with spiders and they are having breakfast together. Now I have to put the finishing touches on your package and get it out to you in a hurry! Have a great night everyone.
Thanks again, Linda!!! |

Just a reminder - The swap mailing date is April 20th. This is not intended to put any pressure on anyone, just a reminder in case you haven't started your dolls yet.
If anyone is having any problems, please email me. If you need any help or need any information, please email me at erinosmith@hotmail.com.
Also, if you have already sent out or received your doll, please drop me a quick little email so that I can mark your name off on the list. I'm trying to keep track of who's received one, who's sent one, etc. Thanks!!!
To my doll partners, your dolls are almost ready - I'm just working on some clothing for them!

Robin,
I sent you an email, your dollie should be with you soon but a bit after the 4/20 due date. So sorry. I've been sick for a couple weeks, but I'm back to normal and am sewing.

Finally, I uploaded the pics of Miss Sally Mander, my dollie from Tina. There are a couple other photos there too, of the Rose Ellen, the doll I made for Tina, and my thrift store swap things (what I sent, so don't tell Fawn if she hasn't received her package yet) and the twins I adopted from Sister Frances Catherine's Orphanage. It's in webshots, cause that's about as technical as I can get. Looking forward to seeing more dolls!

My dolls are about ready to go out! Julie and Carmen, start looking for them!
How is everyone else doing? About ready to mail? This thread has been so quiet lately - I imagine we are all busy sewing and creating!

Dearest Kim!!! The package was waiting for me on my front porch! (I had to dodge one upset Carolina Wren who has built her nest there!) Inside was the most adorable snowman, complete with skis and poles, mittens and a stocking cap!! He is just lovely. Along in the box came- a journal, an address book, a MJF notecard from Kim, a happy grape baby notepad and a "magic" washcloth that I am sure my son will take from me. ;)
Thank you so much for such Farmgirl goodness! Yours is on it's way! I hope that you like her!!
