A few images for you ~
So what have I been up to?
Ripping apart a few watches....and poking a hole in my thumb with the
tiniest screwdriver ever! It is so hard to get the backs off watches!
I have a fascination with doll clothes...simple, little slips and dresses ~
I found a pattern the other day at hob lob
(Simplicity patterns are only .99 this week!)
It is a reprint of an old doll clothes pattern too!
Well, I was really interested in the little slip that was in the pattern.
I ended up using flour sack fabric...
So, I whipped one up!!
I had to soak it in instant coffee to give it a little character,
sprinkle a few crushed grounds over top...
and now I have this precious little thing ~
What am I going to do with it?
I don't have a clue,
but isn't it precious?
~ A few giveaways I found ~
Shelley of Sweet Pea Home is having a giveaway HERE!!
And I'd love to introduce you to a new blogger!!!
Leanne of Provoking Beauty has just started her blog
and if you have time, it would be so wonderful if
you'd pop over to welcome her!!!
Wishing you a wonderful Wednesday precious friends ~
hugs and love,
Dawn

Hi dear Dawn,
So sweet is the little slip, and looks like it was played with for many,many years, it is lovely,and I`m sure it will become a wonderfull part of a future art piece from your creative mind,and hands, dearest friend.
Love and hugs, Dorthe
So I just whipped one up! You are killin' me Girl!! It is precious. Hope you are having a wonderful week! Love, Jamie
Oh gosh, I've done that Dawn, and was surprised I drew blood. Those watch backs are very difficult and it's probably why I have about 5 watches that aren't working at the moment! Love that little slip. I need to find some kind of doll pattern for some beautiful stuffed bunnies I have. The woman who made them did gorgeous little dresses, but they don't work with my house anymore. I need to figure out how to update their dresses. If I was any good any sewing, I'd take apart the existing dress and try it from that.
Dawn ~ that is such a precious little slip ~ I haven't looked at patterns in forever but need to soon ~~

Thanks for the shout-out, Dawn!
Also -- embroidering something on it? Or making it the frame for that cute little girl and her doll photo? The possibilities are endless!
I see it in a shawdow box with a pair of those cute little baby shoes you have!

I love that little dress you made! I have a collection of the old bisque dolls and whenever I see a cute outfit for them I buy them.

PS - I'm having a giveaway on my blog - kind of a surprise bundle of stuff!
Dawn, Granny does look just about done in! But that little girl looks like the happiest you can imagine!
I don't blame you one bit for buying that sweet pattern! You've made the little petticoat look precious, worn and loved much.

It is precious!!
Precious little slip! First time here, oh my heavens, you are one talented lady! I am glad I stopped in, will be back.

Dawn, I am amazed at the difference some coffee made on the little slip. So darling.

Dawn, that little slip is THE sweetest thing...sometimes the simpler the better...i love how the coffee transformed it into an instant "antique"...
Yes, Dawn, it's so very sweet! Like you said, why is it we love anything teeny tiny. Can't wait to see what you will do with it. Thanks for tell me about Shelley, oh I'm going right over. I'll have to go check out Andrea & Leann also. Lisa
Your little slip turned out so perfectly aged Dawn. I love it!
Oh, and I thank you very much for these wonderful old photographs. I especially like the one of the granny. It's a little rarer to see someone as old in these very old photos. I suppose because people didn't live as long in those days. I appreciate them, very much.
