I bout squealed like a sissy girl lol! I have this pattern but I lost it, then found it got it all cut out   then the house ate it again & I’ve been thinking about it for a while, so I was excited to see her in the mix of all the sweet patterns

there’s not been much time spent in the sewing room lately,life has kept us busy with grand babies ball games, graduating  daycare, kindergarten, keeping a check on my parents, dad is in the early stages of dementia & mom doesn’t get around as good as she use too, we’re getting ready to under go some major changes of much needed repairs to the house,, tomorrow night we’re going to a nieces high school graduation out of town , then come home , pack & get ready to go out of town to a ladies conference for the weekend & the list goes on & on

I came across Sweet Bear Creek Whims Blog & she  has a fantastic tutorial on how to paint a black doll that looks very interesting, I’ve made several black dolls  but I think I may give her method a try, I’ve never attempted to do painted eyes so I’m kinda excited!
