The girls are coming......the girls are coming!!!!

Finally!  Paris and Hannah  (Mom and Dad) are making the drive from MN to KS.  Estimated time of arrival about 8:30PM.  Spent the day finishing and wrapping up the AG doll clothes that I have been making for them.  


.
 
Have wrapped up 7 outfits for each girl so far....10 more to wrap (5 more for each).
The wrapping is not fancy but it is functional.   I wrap each outfit in tissue paper and stitch the ends closed on my sewing machine with a wide zig-zag stitch and then use decorative scissors to trim the ends.
 
While I was up in the Guest bedroom / Doll room I thought I would post an
updated picture (s) of my doll closet.

  5. Wow, just all those colors make me happy! Is that fabric laying in the cubes? And how many dolly dresses do you have? I'm not a nana yet, I'm still sewing for my youngest daughter--but I need a great big bottle of time to fit in all the things I want to make for her dollies.
    Here's some of what I've done for her:

    1. Yes.....that is fabric folded in the cubes and I have to admit what you see is only a quarter of the fabric I have stashed in cabinets and other cubes around the house. The count of the dresses is hard to tell. I usually make 1/2 dozen of each dress I but give most sometimes all of them away to friends and family. I am working on opening an Etsy Shop so building up stock is on my "to do" list. Time was always an issue for me too and I thought when I retired I would have more time than I would know what to do with. Not so.....as far as sewing there is never enough time. I have always practice Nancy Zeimans 10, 20, 30 minutes to sew and still do now. Thanks for the link to your photos....will definitely check it out.
