I call it Yule.<br />And I think I know a Canadian site that I can use to order eyes: Disco Joints and Teddies. I was just wondering if you knew of any others. I foolishly forgot that you were not Canadian.

This time of the year is sacred to many different traditions, not just Christianity.<br /><br />I cannot get safety eyes here in Indiana either, unless I mail order them. All I find in the local stores are those google eyes...no thanks. I order eyes from CR's Crafts and from a tackle outfitter in Southern Indiana (not anywhere near me). Both of these sources are in 'Links I Love,' so you might give them a try.<br /><br />And Merry Christmas :-)<br /><br />Beth<br /><br />P.S. Whew, glad the link to the dresses still works...I haven't done anything (that I know of) to break it :-)Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15174223079054928870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647790914647612650.post-31164745450286293892009-12-21T15:20:25.663-05:002009-12-21T15:20:25.663-05:00Never mind, it works now.Never mind, it works now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647790914647612650.post-82007971150274284362009-12-21T15:05:19.598-05:002009-12-21T15:05:19.598-05:00I just tried your Basic Edwardian Dress link, but ...I just tried your Basic Edwardian Dress link, but it didn't work!

And do you mean 'holidays', or did you intend to write 'holy days'? I'm not criticizing, just asking! Oh, and do you know a nice cheap way of getting safety eyes in southern Ontario? Because I can't make a Free Spirit Mini Doll unless I have them, and I can't embroider on crocheted material very well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647790914647612650.post-84155201769215609312009-12-19T12:12:47.750-05:002009-12-19T12:12:47.750-05:00Thank-you for your kind words, greenyarncrochet! ...Thank-you for your kind words, greenyarncrochet!
