Doll Cradle

,

B made a doll cradle for P for Christmas.  It was actually made after Christmas so P was able to watch the process.  B uses mostly hand tools.I think the only  power tool step was cutting the board in half (the skinny way) on a band saw.  She liked that the cherry wood was pink when it was first cut.  The cradle was designed to fit this doll.View from the foot.P likes it a lot. Her baby spends a lot of time in it.Here, Baby and the Esthers are napping. Don't you just love their hair? I made those dolls and could not get the hair right. That is why we bought the other baby.Sometimes she adds other dolls and snuggles them all in.This is where I found the matryoshka dolls when I needed to wrap them to mail them for my swap.They are now on their way to Israel! What did we do for entertainment before the internet?

This summer we watched my two oldest grand kids one day a week. Towards the end of the summer they started making projects on their own in the sewing room. They made lots of little projects from my scrap basket including pillow cases and tiny quilts
Here’s the layout with all but one block done. I’ll finish that last block when I get more of the baby poop green/mustard fabric. I put out the call and the internet provided! This top will be finished soon! This is a remake of an 1870s
I’m finally getting around to putting these stars together. I made the stars a few years ago and have been on the hunt for the perfect setting fabrics. These @carolynfriedlander prints are the perfect match for the 1800s reproduction prints in
