Another attempt at the peasant shirt pattern for a doll. I think this is the third? A modeling shot would be better. This one is a bit long, but I'd like to still modify the sleeves a bit.
Doll sized shirt.

Sometimes we have too much fun in the kitchen. Here are some empanada wrappers filled with Nutella, lightly fried, and tossed in powdered sugar. Oh yes- it was better than you can imagine. Thank you Dana!

Only healthy popsicles around here. Or, the kind you can't really eat.

Yep, another diaper. Can you believe we don't have enough- I've given so many away, I forget we need them now.
Knitted wool cap. The ribbed band went funky, which is strange because wool has such great recovery. I know how to fix this next time.

Found the pattern here: http:/www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=41752698
Great price, great pattern, great customer service! I would make a few modifications; The modesty panel is too low for me so I'd make it taller. The bottom tunic part would be great for pregnancy, but much too long for just nursing. It took 1 hour to make (not including pattern assembly). I also suggest reading the directions and cutting carefully. This one is cut with the stretch in the wrong direction, so I can't wear it. I will definitely make another (or 2)!

Picked a lot of strawberries! Made lots of jam, shared some berries, ate many, and still there's some left!
She didn't 'make' these, but she did pick a huge basket full of snapdragons. Plenty to share.

This is what I settled for with an elephant. His legs don't stand the way I'd like them to. I'll try another pattern next week.
