My doll

I've been wanting to make a doll with my own pattern but I always loose the way. I start well and if I unpick that's it. I wanted to make it close to real as possible. I tried to make knees,elbows and chest. I still have to improve around the shoulders. It is not finished yet but I will let you see where I am up to. I still have to do more work to it. I have been working on it every night. I am still thinking how I want her mouth to look like. If I will attach the lips or embroider her lips. I need to do something about her shoes as well add purple and blue to it. I will glue some eye lashes to this doll too. She looks kind of angry with those eyes. I tried to sculpt her face I think I made her look worse.I always challenge myself in trying new stuff . It is not always successful. My dream is to make a pattern of my very own. Maybe I should try simpler toy. The problem with me is I am not creative at all but if I see something I can copy it. I still wish to come up with my cute little toy. I put eye lashes on and embroidered her lips. They came better then I expected. I should get a better needle for that kind of job. I also added frills to her socks and made shoes to match her dress. I know, I know head is bigger in proportion to her body but I wasn't going to make another head.

Crochet baby blanket

Hi guys, I had a grandson on the way so I decided to make him a blanket not that he needed one but to make him something new since I made another one for my other grandson. I weaved it but my daughter wanted it in stripes instead of the tartan look which I love. The choice of colours could have been better but I wanted to use what I had. I put an edging to look finished in blue. there are many videos for tartan pattern that is how I made this blanket. The stripes on the photos looks uneven but they are even. It takes awhile to make as it is a bit fiddly but it is very satisfying to see it ready.

Flower arrangement

One of my sisters asked me if I could make her a traditional flower arrangement. She bought some herself and I bought some too according to how she wanted it to look. She also wanted me to use the same wheat grain spiky things from her old arrangement. When you are working in a florist you have all the flowers you need but when you are at home working with what you buy it is a different story. She likes it and it is the main thing. I am always very critical at what I do.  

Baby's shorts and hat

Hi guys, I was quick to come up with something this time. I crocheted a short and a hat for my little grandson. I checked on some patterns and videos and I managed to make a set over night. I wanted it to be like a sailor suit. I didn't manage to make a top though if I find a pattern I can easily make one. I like white with dark blue trimmings. I would have added an anchor but my daughter didn't like it. It is more like a costume so she can take a baby photo in them. Here is a photo of them sorry no patterns.
