Wow, I slept in. I just woke up. Nate has left for work, the kids are half way through Finding Nemo, and I’m rubbing my eyes. Nate and I have been staying up late. We watched the extended version of Return of the King when it was released, and decided to start the whole trilogy over again, watching a disc a night. Last night we watched the first disc of the Two Towers. Good stuff. I’m tired.

SO, I took some pictures of Olivia’s and Veronica’s dolls yesterday.

If you recall, I showed Veronica’s doll to you awhile ago, but her hair was different. I didn’t much care for the doll. After making the braids on Olivia’s doll, I decided to try again with Veronica’s doll’s hair, and amazingly enough, it made the whole doll better. I’m pretty happy with it.

Jenny asked, in yesterday’s comments, about names. Abby’s doll is named Christine, Veronica’s (on the left) is named Laura (wish it wasn’t), and Olivia’s is named Lydia.

A note about the dressed doll pattern (as opposed to the naked doll, that you then make clothes for): I’ve made it twice now, each time with sleeves. All I did was start the I cord with the dress color, and an extra stitch, and then decrease down and switch colors when I wanted the flesh to begin. I highly recommend it.
