My New Projects

I starters working on a crochet hook case this week. I went to visit my cousin last week and she showed me the projects she had been working on. One of them she completed was this case for crochet hooks. I loved it so she showed me where the pattern was. Mine is almost done. I'll post pictures when finished. Here is where to find the pattern. http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/aluminum-crochet-hook-case

Finished! Here are the pictures of it. 

Next I will be posting about doll clothes I have been working on and will be working on. 

Until next time, May God Bless.

Restringing Effanbee Dolls

Restringing Effanbee dolls is fairly easy. I have done a few. You can buy bands and hooks from most any doll supply or you can buy restringing cord. Here are dolls I have done before and after pictures. 

I restrung 2 of these 14" Patsy Dolls. They have their original clothes but I will sew them new outfits for display. The next one is Wee Patsy 5". I restrung her using elastic string. 

I think she is just darling. So you see restringing dolls is fun and easy. Most bands and hooks come with instructions so I won't go into details. 

Until next time May God Bless.
