Weight Loss Program

Guaranteed to lose 10lb in 4 weeks!  Just pack up your entire house, move out and then move back in again!! 

With life so disorganised miniature crochet is but a memory but I'll share my last larger project that was made in January.  It was a birthday gift so it couldn't be shown before it was received and I forgot to photograph it myself!!  the recipient has kindly sent a couple of photos for me to share.


The gown and petticoat are made from a Doris Thurlow pattern,
resized for finer thread and a finer hook than is used in the original,
the bonnet, bootees and knickers are my own design.


This is the same pattern as Emma Rose's christening layette but made a size smaller to fit the Heidi Ott doll.  It isn't my design but I love making this pattern.  I did design the bonnet and the invisible knickers and bootees.

Lastly, welcome to all the lovely new followers here.  I will make a proper welcome soon I promise! 

Also, thankyou so much Lisa, Susan and Norma for sharing awards!!  I'll pick them up when I have another moment for myself at the computer. 

Mini hugs to everyone, back to the salt mines for me ;)

  3. Glad you are back! I love the dress and this is a Heidi Ott doll? Joanna wants a baby for her dollhouse (Yes I am finally getting around to wiring it this coming week--she has only had it sitting in the basement partially finished since Christmas 2008!) and this one is perfect! Now to find her! Glad you are back!

  4. Oh! Also, I know you are very busy but when you have time, if you will update my blog in your list from Mini Leaps and Bounds to Peach Blossom Hill?! I hate to be a bother when you have so much going on but I am trying to let everyone know that I am still out here--just with a different name! Thank you!

  5. A beautiful outfit. Not surprising it's a pattern you have used more than once.

  8. Thanks Marina, Ascension, Tippaliisa, Joanna, Dawn, Deni and Norma for your lovely comments!! You have all made me feel very welcome to be back. We're a long way from normal but gradually getting done.

    Miniatures are on hold for the moment for me so I won't be posting regularly for a while yet but keeping up with all your blog posts is the bright spot in my days so thankyou to everyone for sharing your fun and achievements!!

    Jody, the HO dolls are quite a nice middle price range doll, not as expensive as handmade and a bit nicer than the cheaper dolls meant more for children.
