Hi Guys,
Sorry to interrupt the Milton series.....
Just popping in to give a little update on the patterns. Some people are finding the doctors flannel for dollies hard to come by - I get mine here. from Ballarat Patchwork. It is delicious stuff.
I have also made a flickr group for people to post pictures of their kinder girls and boys when they are made. It is a funny feeling seeing "my dolls" popping up made by other people. They are the same but different if you know what I mean.
Did you see Michelle's tea set that she made her mum for mothers day? It is fantastic.....
So here I am in my P.J's and not-for-public-consumption dressing gown, with a cup of tea, on the first day of school holidays. Two cats are wrestling behind me, the teenagers are still in bed , I have Milton to work on today, I am getting emails from people showing me what they have made with the my patterns ........and I am feeling like a proud mama.
Don't you just love school holidays? I hope you are getting the rain up in Ballarat that we are getting here in Melbourne this morning. Perfect weather to sit with a cuppa and just stitch and blog of course!!

Hello Jodie, It was wonderful to see you at the makers market the other week.My Mr Pina Colada I got at stitch n craft is looking cozy all snuggled up on my shelf.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see Milton.... do stop teasing and whilst you're drinking tea sew sew sew like a mad-woman!!

I have a kinder boy all cut out and ready to stitch today. (I'm loving the doctor's flannel - its the bestest). Anyway I am hoping this boy is the same and definitely not too different when he's finished! Oh, and that he doesn't say too many rude words.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to get a copy of the tea set pattern, how do I go about it? :)
ReplyDeleteThanks,

Back to Milton... are we going to have a Milton-a-long then?
ReplyDeleteNothing like a little pressure to start your holiday with!
I'm 4 days away from the holidays - and counting!
ReplyDeleteHi Jodie,
ReplyDeleteI just got your doll pattern and can't wait to make it. I can't find Doctor's flannel here in the US. Is there anything else that is comparable.
Thanks,
Amy
Happy school holidays to you! Thanks for the link for the doctor's flannel. I work for five doctors, but they don't know a thing about it. :>}
ReplyDeleteI ordered the flannel from Ballarat Patchwork and it was here in a flash. I'm just about to get cutting and can't wait to meet my dollies. I hit the bonanza with fabric at Spotlight this morning, so they'll be well dressed if nothing else!
ReplyDeleteHappy PJ day. I'm in mine too, although that's because I'm a bit of a lazy bones today.
ReplyDeleteThat tea set is certainly fab, although it makes me want a big mug of the real stuff so I'm off.
Looking forward to Milton...
I visited Ballarat Patchwork via your link, and was dismayed to discover that they don't offer a shipping option to the US. Dare I try cotton flannel?
ReplyDeleteHi Jodie, I've just landed on your Blog, AWESOME! I've soooo enjoyed your posting, it makes me want to dust off my machine. I've got as far as Oct 2008 but it's fast reaching the middle of the night here and I really must go to sleep, (just gonna take a quick look at my selvedges on the way by...)I will be back tho! you are a total inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI seriously *heart* the school holidays. It's the morning rush that I hate, so to be able to kick that into touch is sheer bliss.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to have a go at my Kinder Kids ... must make bleeping curtains first though :-(

So you should be proud Jodie. Your dolls are the sweetest darlings I have seen for a long time. Enjoy the holidays.
ReplyDeleteHey Jodie.. Congratulations on having your patterns for sale at Ballarat Patchwork. It must feel amazing to have something you created appreciated by other people.
ReplyDeleteI have 2 undie-wearing Kinder Boys awaiting some clothes. Must go....
