Memorial Day 2023
Soldiers who kept us free;
Spouses who loved our country.
'Never forget' never lasts;
And so we never learn
From the tears of our past.
Rest in peace;
You did your best;
May we have the courage to do the rest.

Emma Revisited
Revisiting the last doll pattern I designed, Emma. She is worked in worsted weight yarn (I used Red Heart Super Saver in Buff) and has very simple jointed arms and legs.
Going for more of a Waldorf feel, she has a wig cap made from mohair yarn, which is a bit hard to work with, but makes the most wonderful hair!
You can leave it long, pull it into a single braid, make pigtails or ponytails with it.
In this case, she has double braids. Her dress and pinafore are adapted from Sandy Nordwall Eggers Spring Dress for Marci available on Ravelry. I lengthend the dress, and worked the initial lace pattern on the pinafore for additional repeats to make it longer. Both dress and pinafore are crocheted from Paintbox DK cotton yarn.
Her hat and boots are from the Emma patterns available on this blog.

Back in business!!!
After several months of being dead (my blog, not me...), I've resurrected my blog! From the wasteland that Google left it in (by deleting the website that was hosting my patterns) it rises like a Phoenix to live again!
I've done my best to restore all the pattern links within each post and also the links along the left sidebar. I may have missed one or two, but they should all work.

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!
