I promise pictures are coming!

I do have pictures and if I cannot get any posted today I will post some early next week I promise.

No sewing yesterday I didn't get home until 10:20pm last night.

I did the board for a couple of basketball games last night.

Oh yeah I work for a radio station and during remote events we generally have someone there at the station that gets the DJ on the air and controls the station manually.

Most of the time the computer takes care of running the songs and commercials all the DJ has to do is just talk and push some buttons.

Of course the second game went into overtime so I was there later than normal, but since you need to have split second timing to control what's on the air, you need to stay close to the computer and pay attention, so no time to post any pictures.

and yes I get to DJ from time to time, it is fun being on the radio. it can be exhausting though, since you need to concentrate on what buttons to push and what to say etc, it's a mental exhaustion.

Ok back to regularly scheduled programming!

today will be busy

If I have a chance I will post some pictures.

After church I came home and fixed up a photography area in my sewing room, I used some navy crushed velvet for the backdrop and an old sewing machine for the table.

I got some pictures of Cindy, Arial the un-named baby and I think even Dora snuck in there.

You know that Dora is really growing on me.. good thing I have three. Al least one will be able to comfort me when the other girls go!

No Sewing Yesterday

Ok so the only sewing I did yesterday was sewing a couple of arms seams in a sweater for the dolly, I spent the rest of the time I had yesterday morning searching for some water soluble stabilizer that I knew I had. SIGH...took forever to find.

When I had time last night I took the now found stabilizer and cut a strip off the top.

Then I noticed the flip flops setting on my sewing machine and since I really wanted to watch the rest of the biggest loser, I decided to finish the flips flops. SO that'll be the end of my sewing till at least Friday or Maybe even Saturday.

When I figure out how to post pictures to the blog I'll add those later, of course I need to take pictures this weekend.

SIGH.. I'll just add that to the list, and a big thanks to Dorrie for the link to the American Girl patterns, I am printing those out.

Dorrie I am pretty sure that if you print them at 85% that they should fit the LDP's girls.

I have taken patterns for the American Girl dolls and made copies at 85% and usually they fit, it really depends of the ease you want in the garment, some things need to be 80%.

Dora Dress Up Doll

From clothes for romania

I got a new doll Saturday, She's a Dora Dress Up doll, 15 inches tall of course she was naked and scared!

Her hair is still not in good shape I am afraid of course for pictures she's fine but in her current condition I couldn't send her to Romania, so I'll send the other 2 girls and this one will be rerooted(Some Day).

Been looking at websites that deal with the rerooting thing, so far all I have fiogured out is if you want it to last it'll take a long time or you can do the fast and dirty and try gluing it on the inside of the head,,, hmm something to think about.

Sewed another sweater last night and stretched out the hem really bad, hoping that steaming it will put it back in placed.

New Blog and Current Project

I am excited about sharing my current project with my blogger friends!
I am sending 5 dolls to an orphanage in Romania for Christmas this year.
These dolls I have found at various places, garage sales, thrifts stores and flea markets.

They shall all have extensive wardrobes including shoes and jewelry, I want these little girls to be very excited about their present they receive.

I decided to use refurbished dolls simply because there is so much waste and I also like taking a dirty naked doll and making her look all shiny new again!.

I love sewing and I have been having a great time sewing for the dollies!
More to come!
