Hey Everyone,
I just finished my first crocheting project.  It is a hat for my dolls.  You can see it in progress in this photo (above).  I already started going around the edge... It was suppose to be
a pot holder.  Here is the story.

At first my potholder looked like a potholder, then when I started to skip stitches and experiment, it looked like a sock, then a baby bath tub, cradle, and then a hat!  I will have to start over on the pot holder, but that's ok. :) 

For anyone who knows anything about crocheting, you know that you are suppose to turn around and double crochet back (or single); and not go around the ege.  I started experimenting and went around the edge of the potholder.  I also started skipping a few stitches.  This is how I got the funny shapes.

Now; here is the photo.  I might eventually be able to make some for a give away (no that is not the gift!). :)  I hope you enjoy the photo.  It was definitely a great experience for me. :) 

I hope you enjoyed that photo.

PS:  I hope you enjoy the Poetry Blender (new gadget on the blog side-bar).  You might notice I had/ have a bigger version on the "Extras" page. 

Hey Girls,
Today, I was looking for some shirts for my dolls.  I wish the shirts American Girl had were longer and not so short... 

I found some really cute ones on the Liberty Jane Pattern website.  Guess what?  They are all either FREE or $3.99. :)  That's really cheap for clothes.  I know you still have to pay for fabric, but I think even with the fabric costs you will end up saving money.  This would also be a great way to have fun too in the summer.

I am going to pick out my fabric and start sewing the new shirt soon. :)  I will post some photos once I am finished. :)  Hopefully that will be before school starts in 3 weeks!

I hope you have a great day... I will post some photos soon. :)

PS:  Don't forget to look and comment on what YOU think the Give Away Item will be... I can't wait to hear all of your great thoughts.  Come back next week to see another hint. :)

Hey Everyone,

This photo was from the first time I went to American Girl Place in Chicago!  I was so excited when I found this cute exhibit. :)  These clothes are actually the clothes that American Girl used in the Molly movie!  They had other accessories too like a letter, and a telegram from the movie.  You could clearly tell telegram envelope details were changed to match the details in the movie, but it was still so neat to see. :)

I think it is so cool that I got to see some real costumes!

I hope you have a great week!
