Thank you, Sally ... I really enjoyed doing this one ... I love adding stitch after stitch after stitch. Maybe it is a form of OCD. :)

Why Are There TWO Felting Groups?

I don't get it ... why do we suddenly have TWO felting groups? I assume it must be that two people simultaneously responded to Rachel's suggestion to create a felting group. Wouldn't it be a good idea to combine them into one group?

Thank you Morna for your compliments on my art. I also love your felted art. Some of the work has a lot of details that I never even imagined could be done. Wonderful! Diana

I saw something similar to that Wonderful World video a long time ago. It really is a "feel-better" clip! Did you realize we posted the same song, different videos? Funny... Of course, as usual, yours is more peaceful than mine.

Free Vintage Paper Doll Pattern



Karen's Whimsey has this free Paper Doll pattern on her website.  Clothing for the doll also available.  Images are in the public domain.


American Folk Art Doll Pattern



This doll pattern and other folk patterns can be purchased at Cloth Doll Supply.  Their description:

HISTORICAL FOLK DOLL #11
The New York Doll

This 16" doll has made herself quite famous by being chosen to be on the cover of a well-known book of American Folk Dolls, by Wendy Lavitt. She is such a good doll for a cover as she has just about all the best details of this type of doll. Separate fingers, a wonderful and exaggerated face and hair all carefully embroidered, including her remarkable feather-stitched eyebrows, and a costume of just-right simplicity and detail. She has with her the same small cat the doll in the photo has. Silkscreened for embroidery and new antiquing methods included.
Pattern (mini-kit) #PGW725 - $42.00

HOW TO MAKE LENAPE STYLE MOCCASINS
Shared by Mèssochwen Tëme

The same pattern is used for both feet so you only have to make one pattern. Once you make the pattern you're all set, and you can save it for making more moccasins in the future.
