MY Oopsie doll

My oopsie doll I enjoyed making this doll very much. I loved making the curls it took a whole ball of yarn for it. I enjoyed making the skirt of the dress. The pattern was very easy to follow.It took me three days working strictly all afternoons. I am having trouble making the bow, would you believe it? I tried three times already. Haven't given up yet. I can always contact Vanja from Amigurumi BB, the generous lady, who made the pattern and share it. Isn't she wonderful. How I came to make this doll is I was looking to see how a type of her is done.  I liked the hairdo of this doll and decided to do it. I love this doll her boots looks very nice. Here is a picture of my lovely Oopsie doll. I had trouble making her bow but managed after three attempts or four. You can never give up I guess on things.

Oven mittens

Oven mittens were actually my daughter's orders. She wanted these specific ones and her sister picked the material for her. It was a challenge to do, broke about five sewing needles in the process. Once I got the hang of it, didn't take me long to do. She happened to like them which makes me feel good. Made an apron to match. Sewing is great fun, when you have a sewing machine that works well. Anyway here is a picture of the stuff.

 

Maya the bee

 I am happy to say I made Maya the bee with no pattern. You don't know how the finished product will look like till it is finished. I am pleased how it turned out. Maya is a cute bee. I used pipe cleaners in the antenna.

Two girls

The other day, two girls went to the shop close by. These two girls often go to the shop. let's call the girls one Mary and the other one Bridget. As they were walking back towards me,  I saw Mary had some hidden stuff under her jacket. What went through my head was, did she steal them? why was she hiding them? What would you have done in my position? I felt a duty towards Mary to teach her right from wrong, I would have liked to stop this habit at an earlier age if so. But I was thinking, what if her mum yells at me and tell me to mind my own business. So I said and did nothing. I saw that Bridget wasn't happy to go with her the next day, so later on when I saw her alone, I asked her why did she hid the stuff she bought? there was no response.   Just letting you know what you would have done in my position?
