Year of projects - 15.04.13

This week, in between some school holiday activities , I thought I'd do a quick, fun project from  my YOP list.

My hubby, looked over one evening to see what I was making, noticed the title and said, 'well what's so magic about that?' in a totally uninterested voice, so I showed him further down the pattern, and his 'Wow, that is clever' said a lot for the idea.


Any ideas?




Now isn't that a clever?  I have no idea who she is for, and there are a few more details I could add, like the head scarf for cinders and a few patches on her skirt....maybe a huge diamond and Sapphire necklace for cinderella.........

I enjoyed making this doll, such a fun project, and open for your own modifications to the dress and jewelry.



Now wouldn't you love a dress like that, encrusted with diamonds around the skirts?

To catch up with all the other work that my fellow Yoppers have been doing, check out the raverly page here.

    I love fancy princess Cinderella's up-do! Well done! Diamond encrusted hems sound good. I've always wanted "Diamonds on the soles of my shoes" ...

    Gorgeous! There's a knitted one in a local yarn shop and B adores it! I think a whopping great paste jewel for a necklace would add a certain something :)

    I love those reversible patterns! You must have had such fun hooking up Cinderella! I had a reversible knitted Little Red Riding Hood / wolf in grandmother's clothing years ago! Utterly enchanting! E x

    Faith you are so clever. I think that doll is so wonderful and I think you should keep it for yourself, I always had a doll around just to try and fight off some of the testosterone at my house.
    Hugs,

    That's brilliant, I'd no idea what it was from the first picture as it looked like a little person dumb-bell..lol. I love things that have a 'twist' and this is just perfect. Whoever get this one will be delighted I am sure.

    She is beautiful. I've wanted to make a topsy turvy doll for a while now I love that you made one not knowing who it's for just because you wanted to. I love it maybe you should keep her and pop her on your bed :)

    OMG! That is awesome! Is there a pattern? Tell me you didn't just whip that out from your head with no pattern? If you did, I am going to bow down to you! Even with a pattern you do beautiful work. I want one now! LOL!

    Her hair looks so stylish all done up for the ball. She's adorable ... definitely needs a Diamond and Sapphire necklace. :)
