This is the post where I announce the winners of my give away! Since the give away was dolls I will show you my newest ones! These were done with one of my all-time favorite fabric lines: Heather Bailey's Fresh Cut. If you haven't seen yet that she has blogged about her two new fabric lines you should hop on over!
I loved hearing from so many of my friends and others who were de-lurking and commenting for the very first time. Thank you for dropping by. Thanks for showing an interest in my knitting, sewing and doll making adventures. Thank you for appreciating my children with me. Having a give away is just a small token of my appreciation of you, your friendship and support. It is also a way to give back to this wonderful creative community that I am so happy now to be a part of!
I am pleased to announce that with the assistance of the ever trustworthy Random Number Generator I have selected the two lucky winners of my little give away: Camilla will receive Trude and Anne Gry will be heading off to Jennifer. There will, of course, be little surprises accompanying the dolls but I couldn't reveal that now... but here are a few more dolls in the bird series I have been creating.
Now that Annie has received the doll I made as part of the doll swap I participated in I can show her to you!
Annie, you see, is particularly fond of tea so I knew that I had to incorporate tea into the doll in some way. I made her an apron with the little "tea time" embroidery to remind Annie to have a cup of her favorite beverage. I am not sure she really needs any prodding though. You really should see the photos Annie has taken of her though. She is so cute perched in a teacup! Silly me, I didn't even take a photo of the bag I sent her off it! So you really must visit Annie to see it! You will be happy that you did as her blog is full of handmade goodness!
I have a couple of pairs of socks (first blogged here) completed to share with you! Lilly trying on her new silk and alpaca socks for next winter.
Lilly in action doing some heel tapping with her stripy socks.
The socks again, staying still without their lively occupant.
Wow those dolls are so lovely. Your work is so so nice. Congrats to the winners I know they will love them so much.

oooohhhh, I love your socks. I so want to learn how to knit socks on dpn. I love the color of your yarn.
The dolls are adorable-I am Hungarian (well, part) and these type of dolls are very common in my Father's homeland.

Knitting a pair of socks is on my project list when I've learnt to knit! There's an Alpaca farm that I visit regularly and they sell pure alpaca wool (not cheap!) but I can just imagine how lovely a pair of alpaca wool socks would be.
