I finished putting buttons on Emily’s jacket and made her a hat from yarn scraps. It kinda matches. She might not like it… I mean, what kid likes wearing coats and hats? (I just found this particular exhibitionist-of-a-kid stripped of all her garments and hiding under a blanket, for goodness’ sake.) But I’m going to wrap it up and give it to her for her birthday anyway.
And a doll. I bought her a Ballet Barbie, but Evan and I felt a little guilty. So I returned Barbie to Target and decided to make her a doll instead. I made one for Christmas last year (see above). This time I’m going to make one with outfits. After all, isn’t that what makes Barbie so awesome?
I think so.

that’s an amazingly cute jacket. even if she hates it, you know you love it and you made it.

Great job on the coat and hat. The doll is so cute! I’m curious. Why did buying Barbie make you feel guilty?

It is about that time for winter gear–I love that coat and hat!

The coat with the hat is so cute! It reminds me of the Olily look. In fact, if she isn’t going to wear them, I’d hang them on the wall as part of the decor. Did you have Barbie dolls?

Did you see the cute little girl’s dress refashioned from a man’s plaid shirt on whipup.net?

If I were 5, I totally preferred your doll to Barbie. It looks so soft and I could hug it to sleep, not so much with Barbie. =)
Love the jacket and would love to see some modeling pictures!

I love how the hat and jacket go together without exactly matching. The jacket is awesome. You are very talented! I’m sure your doll will turn out great, too!
