My doll bodies are stained and ready to go. I love staining fabric with coffee . . . each one is sort of unique and I love the smell once they dry. I just brushed strong coffee on these with a paint brush and put them in the oven at 250 for about 7 minutes to dry them. Strange looking little doll bodies - don't you think? So tonight - I am hoping to give them faces.
I crocheted this candy corn beanie for Charlotte last night. (while I was watching the Cardinals get their butts kicked by the Giants) . . . not a fun game for the St. Louis fanatic who I happen to be married to. He took it pretty well . . . I think he was happy when the game was over.
I started another beanie for Owen . . . hopefully will get that done on my lunch break today. I may have to make one for Lily too - just so I can get a picture of all three of them wearing them. Next crochet project . . . more beanies for Charlotte. Our weather has finally changed and I think she has already outgrown some of the little ones that she has.
Last week I was frustrated because I wasn't making time to do the things I like do . . . feeling much better about that this week. (I still wish I could somehow get a few more hours added to every day.)
OH! I love the candy corn beanie!! So sweet! How I wish I could figure out the whole crochet thing...I seem to be an octopus! :)
