Raggedy Ann Swap

Raggedy Ann Halloween Swap

She is ready to go for the night treating!

Her kitty kat is her best friend, and is always by her side.

She has a fluffy orange under skirt to poof out her evening dress.

Her little bag is empty are ready for some filing.

Of course, she has her fairy wings and her mask to keep her not too recognizable.

She has scrappy raggy hair {my way of doing annie hair- a bit different, but love it}

She landed at AwtemNymf's home.

Reminding you of what i recieved---

Weekend Workings

This is what i have been working on this weekend:

Some dolls for a Custom Order: Clue...they have a sister named Anne....?

A little more Spring Cleaning in the sewing area:

Before...drawers, overflowing with crazy fabric!! What do i have? Where is that one...? Who keeps stealing things? Why can't i keep that drawer shut?...I need new fabric!!!

After: aaaaaawwwwwhhhhh Oh, look at that piece. So nice and folded, ironed, and stacked.

I seperated them into piles. Took the big pieces...bigger than 1 yard and i will put those some where else. Then smaller than that i folded and then had a 'snippets' pile too. that is ones that aren't big enough to fold. Then i found a TON of strips!!!! I put those in 3 piles. skinny around 1 1/2", then 2 1/2", and then mega..like 3 or more inches. I am in need of some strips for a quilt group project so this has worked out perfectly!! It has taken me like an hour per drawer- yikes! I have 3 of the 9 done.

It is sort of exciting to find fabric. Almost like shopping, almost....

Raggedy Anne

Here she is. My interpretation at least.

She has raggedy red hair that is pulled into a piggy tail. She's got two!!

She has little underwear that is permanent + removeable panties, pillow case dress with ric-rac edges and lace at the bottom, and a white eyelet apron skirt.

There are a few faces out there. I did this one plus 1 with the little red lips.

Cute panties and of course the heart.

I had a little hand tied quilt that i picked up this summer and cut it into 4 pieces. Each little raggedy ann got one. I did a quick binding edge on them to finish them off. Because they have been washed a lot they are super soft but still in great condition.

I Guess you could say that they are a 'limited' edition. I only have 4 of them. They aren't numbered or anything but that is it. They are unique -no repeat on the undies. They have the same outfit- that's it.

Three of them are for sale in the shop. Come on over and take a peak and maybe even take her home with you!!

The other one was hand picked by the picky honey for Eliza for christmas. I have a little raggedy ann book to go with it. An older one with her adventures. Very cute. Hope she likes it!!!

I love the idea of doing a book with a character.
