Stepping Out of my Box

nobody@vox.com(Auntie Bunny) — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 14:34:16 -0400

So it's obvious I like making dolls. I like making girly, girl dolls. They seem so much more interesting and fun to make with all their lace, ribbons, bows and other frilly things. I know why I like dolls and, yes, it goes back to my childhood. ...

No More Limbo for Lulu

nobody@vox.com(Auntie Bunny) — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 08:31:44 -0400

I think my newest doll has fallen over and gone into a catatonic state from the knowledge that I've finally made another doll! I admit it was an uphill battle, not because it was a difficult doll to make, but from a chronic lack of motivation o...

When I'm not needleworking

nobody@vox.com(Auntie Bunny) — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 13:43:56 -0400

I love to read, watch movies, and have blooming flowers, or at the very least some potted plants. I'm just about to finish a book that was written a long time ago describing what the area I live close to now used to be like. It's sort of depressi...

Apron Strings

nobody@vox.com(Auntie Bunny) — Tue, 27 May 2008 17:37:25 -0400

And, sew it begins. Once again my focus has shifted and at the moment it's on aprons. After my daughter's apron was made and seeing how nice it looks on her, I thought I'd give it a try too. I like vintage things so I went where a person can find...

Sew What

nobody@vox.com(Auntie Bunny) — Sun, 25 May 2008 16:36:34 -0400

My daughter came to visit for a week and it was great! One of the first things she told me was that she had a sewing machine but wasn't familiar with how to work it. I was thrilled that she wanted me to help her through the basics of using a sew...

The Good Old Days

nobody@vox.com(Auntie Bunny) — Sat, 24 May 2008 21:39:15 -0400

I located a vintage advertisement for a couple of the dolls that were designed by Edith Flack Ackley. The scan is from the ad in my personal EFA collection. It comes from the Women's Home Companion magazine issue of November 1934. Apparently, y...

Hitty Mae is in the Pink!

nobody@vox.com(Auntie Bunny) — Wed, 07 May 2008 13:47:13 -0400

Hitty has a dress! This is the first of several that I have already cut out and just need to put together. I decided that I'd get a whole slew of them cut at the same time so that I could just do the sewing for each when I get the chance. Hitt...
