You've saved me from some surprises of my own. Regardless, your doll is quite beautiful! Frankly, I like the dark hair look so much that I'll probably go ahead and live with the gray hairs. Besides, my dark hair has lots of little grays, so my doll will be even more a reflection of my own personal taste. :) I hope you have a great time making your bag!Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15049633166055167132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6706014191709190790.post-3517233511335092172012-02-06T17:41:54.925+11:002012-02-06T17:41:54.925+11:00I laughed and laughed...fabulous!

I am thrilled to see this because I've been looking for a pattern like this. Was this from her book? I checked her store and don't see this doll there.<br /><br />Thanks for the help and for showing us what can go wrong when one doesn't follow the pattern.

She is remarkable, really. Both girls have stunning yarn hair - your attention to detail is amazing. Good luck with the Amy Butler bag (which one are you making? I did the Blossom bag with two friends and have a review on an old post from November 2010). I'd say it's ambitious to tackle one of her patterns for your first bag, but after seeing your doll I know you'll do a great job!!Poppyprinthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08251892807966340175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6706014191709190790.post-38814452311745741872012-02-02T04:52:42.228+11:002012-02-02T04:52:42.228+11:00Your hubby is hilarious!

It's funny, I was holding my first bear the other day and realised he was a bit too soft, now mine are rather firmly stuffed, but you do have to kind of sculpt with the fabric as you go. Good luck with the AB bag, you may want little ears out of the way for when you start cursing both the cramp in your hand from the cutting, and the assembly instructions ;o)Katy Cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04374079358515448439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6706014191709190790.post-61148019814034605552012-02-02T02:51:24.322+11:002012-02-02T02:51:24.322+11:00Your post completely cracked me up.
