I couldn't help but make another dolly for baby sister with the Black Apple pattern...I love her patchwork dress. Sadie was excited to take it to sister's room for safe keeping, of course after a snuggle or two. :D*side note* Sadie is so cute...she's started to pat my belly, say "sister", and give it a big kiss! I don't know how long that will last … [Read more...]

It took about 20 … [Read more...]
