Merry Christmas!


Finally the mini's are all dressed, just in time for Christmas. We are all wishing you a very Merry Christmas and blessed New Year. Hopefully the New Year will bring joy to all of us, and plenty of time to crochet :-)

These little outfits were made from an Annie Potter Presents pattern leaflet designed for Fibre Craft's 'Cindy' doll. Sadly, this particular pattern set is out of print, but my next project is to design a cute little A-line dress for Mini Free Spirit that can be accessorized with collars and sleeve options.

Below are Emily and Sarah, with their Labrador pup Cody, also wishing you the very best for the holidays and the year to come.

Enjoy the crochet!

  2. No, I made them, and they are SO simple. Purchase a small wooden plaque (approx 3" diameter) at Michaels or similar craft store, one 1/4" dowel rod (they usually come in 36" lengths). Cut two lengths of dowel 4 3/4" long; drill two 1/4" holes in the plaque about 1 1/4" apart, and hey, presto! you have a great doll stand :-)

    The dowels fit up past the doll's underwear, so the underwear waistband is what secures the doll to the stand.

  4. Hi Grandmalolly :-)

    The tree is a Paradise Publications pattern. Here is the link to their site:

    Looks like it is still in print (amazing...I've had this pattern for almost 20 years!).

    Thank-you for your kind words; have a lovely Christmas.
