Nightgown and Victorian Undies for Emma and her friends

 

I am still having a lot of fun playing with this new doll design, Emma.  She is 11 inches tall, with very simple jointed arms and legs.  You can find the pattern for the doll on this blog, a couple posts back.  She is developing a nice wardrobe; today's addition is a nightgown and some Victorian underwear...my favorite to make!

Emma's New Outfit

Emma

 

I got a bee in my bonnet to make a doll with simple joints.  Joints at the elbows, wrist, knees, and ankles.  A doll that did not require lots and lots of stitches to make up.  A simple doll.  So here is Emma, crocheted with worsted weight yarn and a D hook.  Her clothing is sportweight yarn.  She is 11 inches tall and easy to dress.  Her wig cap is simple, and for more wig ideas, please see Sandy Nordwall Eggers pattern on Ravelry:  Cute Hair Styles for Dolls

Enjoy Emma, and enjoy the crochet!

Sauron defeated...and yet...

 

Sauron defeated…and yet…

What of this Middle Earth we claim as home

Where fires burn where no dragons roam.

Where coasts are drowned as surely as Westernesse

And the Wise have sailed; sailed to the West.

Orcs breed, but not in Misty Mountains cold;

In City Canyons built on gold;

In Empty places where fear and hate

Are allowed to stew and percolate.

Dark Lords reign in Corporate Towers

And promise pain to those that cower

Among the wreckage of Middle Earth

That greed and corruption now devours.

For Men above all desire Power.
