Lolly Spoon arrived on the 20th this month, but until now I haven't had a chance to take photos. I changed her hairstyle just a little before taking these. It had gotten a little messed up during transport.
The weather hasn't been very nice lately so I've been knitting these little bolero style tops for my girls. You can find the knitting pattern (which is also suitable for Zwergnase Junior, Carpatina and Kidz'n'Cats) at Swish & Swirl. The skill level is easy and it only requires 50g ball of fingering yarn and a pair of 2mm knitting needles, a yarn needle for finishing, stitch markers (I just use a slip of contrasting yarn) and a button.
Not finding any suitable clothes to complete their outfits, it was time to look at my fabric stash and decide what to work on next. I'm using a Dianes Doll Designs romper pattern for my Greta with the ringlets which I will modify to fit as necessary. For Lea and Greta (above) I'll be using my own patterns.
These are some of the fabrics I have selected . . . the one on the right will be for Greta (above) the two on the left will be for Greta with the ringlets and the center fabric for Lea. They will all wear coordinating leather sandals.
Oh the weather outside is frighful, but this fabric is so delightful,
and since I've no place to go, let me sew, let me sew, let me sew.
Okay that's all for today folks, I'll be back when I'm done sewing.
Big hugs,

Lina Spoon has been keeping me company ever since she arrived, and I cannot stop looking at her.
