But, as my previous post explained, I am a kid at heart too, so I had to make one for myself. I'm not sure I LOVE how she turned out, so she's going into the box of "Possibly saving this for when I have kids but may possibly give it away if struck with sudden generosity" items. She's in the slideshow, along with a few more photo's of the outfit, because this time it didn't kick my butt and I'm quite pleased and proud of how it turned out.
I finished another outfit, but this time I decided to add something on a whim. I made a little fairy doll to match the dress. Her skin is a little odd colored as the pink yarn I had seemed too peachy, and white was too stark. So I mixed the two. Well... Fairy's are supposed to be original looking, right? Anyway. This gift is for my friend who, as a child, nicknamed me "Dryad" and I nick-named her "Pixie." The endearing names ended, however, when my family bought a goat and named her pixie, and my friend never let me call her that again. Ahh well. We were probably getting too old for such things anyway. But this is the friend whose older sister collected vintage hats, and whose mother owned a yarn shop, and whose family owned 2 alpaca, 2 sheep, a hairy dog they could spin off of, and 18 angora rabbits. So when I think of this friend, fiber and fairies and vintage come to mind. Therefore it is only fitting that her daughter be blessed with the love of such things.

I love that you can do this but you'll have to explain to me how you can do this and be ADHD... I try but my attention (or lack thereof) gets in the way EVERY TIME.
