Thanks, Emily. I missed everyone here too. The kids are both very busy
right now. And, at the moment, Mom is the only one around to drive them
here and there. (DH out of town for work 3 weeks in a row, Din-laws in
Bahamas on a cruise. (oh darn for them huh?? lol))
But what I am not doing right now is sewing. I have the Viking sm in the
shop along with the white serger. :( The Viking threw a gear. Needle
won't disengage when winding a bobbin. Common problem in machines that
see "high usage." lol Yep, that would be me. I managed to throw the
serger out of time a while back. (don't try to serge the flat felled seam
on blue jeans.......just don't even try!)
Then yesterday had to take my poor kitty to the vet. She is 15 and has
developed hypothyroidism. She's lost 4 1/2 lbs. (which is a lot for a
small kitty.) And she's not eating well or retaining what she eats. Who
knew that all meant she has thyroid issues? She's much better today. She
got medicine for her tummy(a shot) and more for her thyroid. (I get to
shove a pill down her throat every day. Wont' that be fun?????????
*sigh*) But I was relieved it was something we could manage.
So....does anyone else need me to drive them anywhere today?? ;)

My DH is out of town for a couple of days, which means I have no car, so
could you pop over and take to Ikea for the new shelving I need to get??
:-)
I hope your kitty stabilises on the meds and that your SM & serger are
soon back with you.

Oh Sharon, I feel bad about the kitty. I sincerely hope the meds help her.
As for sewing, I am certain the machines will be back soon; and NO, I don't
intend to sew jeans at all anymore.
I'll be sewing light-weight fabrics for a while now. DGD requested some
Breyer horses, traditional style and doll clothes for her A G for her 10th
birthday, on the first, I can't believe she is that old already.
She'll get the horses on her birthday; but will have to wait till Christmas
for the doll clothes. I didn't know she had an A G doll and have no idea
what size clothes to make for it, but I'll find out.
I bought white flannel with a brightly colored snowflakes design from
Nancy's Notions, which was going to be receiving blankets, but the nursery's
décor is ladybugs. I will embroider some of them on solid color flannel
instead and use this flannel to make matching pajamas for her and the doll,
plus for her new baby sister, which is due the 8th.

Emily, 18" doll patterns are close, but allow for a slightly
larger neck and the arms and legs are ummm, "sturdier" than
other brands of 18" dolls. If possible get you hands on the
doll and make lots of measurements. And remember, AG dolls
are young girls, NOT babies, so make age-appropriate
clothes. If your DGD has one of the "named" AG dolls it
would be really nice to make clothing of the correct era. I
know nothing about this site but it might offer help:

Oh, sounds very cute! I'm just in the process of digitizing
some ladybugs for the new baby of older DD's best friend.
The shower is in December.

They bought the crib linen set with the ladybug design from Burlington Coat
Factory; the sheets are pink/white checked gingham. I found some ladybugs
online at an embroidery site, and DS will embroidery them on several
receiving blankets I made of solid-color flannel. I've made 3 solid-color
sheets already.
The white flannel was purchased for receiving blankets before I found out
about the ladybug design; that's why I decided pjs would be better.
Someone had told me the AG dolls were larger, as you said. All except one
are patterns are McCall's for 18-inch dolls and the other is for an AG,
meaning, I can use it to alter the others. Thanks for reminding me for the
difference in sizes.
