Talking to Grandpa

"And then I pinched the kitty-cat..."

The doll in the background is mine from when I was a baby. My mom made it for me to carry when I was the flower girl in my aunt's wedding. The silk dress that she is wearing came from the leftover silk from her wedding dress. Later, my mom made the red apron for her and she became a Christmas angel.

Playing Dress Up

We weren't going to go out trick-or-treating but I did have to make a costume for her. What could be better than an felt Ellie-flower? Of course, it had to fit over a jacket and involve a hat to keep her warm enough. She had a tan striped hoodie that blended pretty well with the petals and a pair of green pants for a stem.


We went for a walk around the neighborhood in the afternoon to enjoy the day and take some pictures. Unfortunately there weren't very many people around to appreciate the cuteness. By the time real trick-or-treaters started showing up at our house, she was in bed.



The petals just tied around her shoulders like a cape so it should be big enough to wear next year too.

Little Friend

This little creature went out to a friend for her granddaughter. I hope she liked it! Modified from this pattern.

Full of personality, wouldn't you say?
