i made the small, yes that is the small version of this pattern.

I've been working on this during breaks and lunches at work for a month, so i would say that it would take about two weeks or less if you work on this as your only project. but that's not how i roll.

I had to tink a lot with this and redo the lace part a lot. i was working in a poorly lit area to my defence

OK so to get the curls i used an eHow tute . you make a slip knot then wrap it like a curler. then take a sewing needle and go under two wraps. i did this around knitting needles and got about six curls per needle. you spray with water. i preheat the over to 350, then turned it off once i put the tray in. left it in for about five minutes. I had to make about 50-60 curls for this dolls head to not look thin.

 

then i sewed the dress. but i couldn't think of an easy way to get it on and off. so i sewed straps. but they are to big so i had to make i knot, then tie that with a little bow. i hope the child can figure it out.

I'm working on another Ripley hat. one of my sisters asked me to make her a hat and scarf set. I'm not making the mittens. i don't have enough yarn for that.

 

I'm making the hat using magic loop I'm trying to get good at it so that i can get to a level that i can make two at a time socks. then my socks will be that same size. both to big or to small.

 

this i the last night that i have to work overnights. then if it doesn't snow Toby might take me to Toledo. since none of my family volunteered to pick me up :{

update pics

less zits, a little less oily. I don't know if it was cutting out the dairy or the dieting.

I've maintained weight and measurements. I guess this is where i want to be. but i dont feel fit. just better about my appearance.

I mean i might be buying shorts this year, i dont know if i'll still want to wear them when the time comes. I dont like to show my body out in public. part fear, part childhood scars, part not looking as good as others.

my little sister has been held in the hospital and is going to get induced on Friday but i have to work the whole weekend. shes a little disappointed that i wont be there.
