SHEs Organized

That is beautiful, MT. I have a couple things Sunny made me, wire wrapped; she and her DH used to do a bit of that. What kind of stone is it?

Oooh, Harriet, I like the masks too. Your DD is so talented!

Harriet, those masks are so unique!

I finally finished crocheting a washcloth. I'll try to do some more today.

Well, here goes! This is a crocheted American Girl doll dress made for my neice. The skirt is adapted from a Barbie pattern for an 1876 debutante ball gown. The bodice is from a pattern for an 1864 debutante ball gown. There should be two pictures.

Wow, ELIZABETH, that is gorgeous! Your niece is lucky. My grown DD still has her American Girl doll, Molly.

Oh my goodness, Elizabeth, that is beautiful!

Thank you for posting these pictures, Elizabeth. The dress is beautiful and I love that color of blue. Your dniece will be thrilled to receive such a special gift.

Here is the Barbie pattern for the 1876 debutante ballgown. The skirt was the basis of the American Girl skirt.

Harriet: I wish I could claim to have scaled the bodice from this pattern to the American Girl dress. That bodice was taken from an AG pattern.

Elizabeth! :!:Did you crochet this Barbie dress? It's gorgeous and so lovely, the colors are beautiful, too, the style is wonderful.

Oh, I have 2 Barbies and the Scooby Doo guy, called Scruffy, I believe, and the doggie, too. I bought 2 pattern envelopes for fabric clothes, have tiny snaps, small elastic, scraps, and some internet crochet Barbie clothes, too. It's my "secret" thing, to bring out my bin, from beneath our bed, to "play" and just change their clothes and feel like a girl again. I have so much fun and now I have a dgd to play Barbies with, once she gets old enough. Thanks for sharing the Barbie dress.

I'm crocheting on a baby washcloth, but this is for MY face, to cleanse with in the p.m. and a.m. It's a simple pattern:

Ch 21, DC, sc in 2nd ch, sk 1 ch, 1sc, 1dc in next ch, repeat across, ch 1, turn, sk 1st sc, 1 sc, 1 dc in next dc, across, and go for 15 rows. They say SC around, with 2 sc in corners, then join, finish off. Attach CC color, do reverse SC, which they say is also called the "crab stitch". Anyway, it's a nice weave and I love the feel of the weave, so it'll be soft on my face, too. It's a Ravelry pattern, PDF so there is no link listed on the pattern paper, so I just wrote it out from memory here. I hope that's okay. It's probably a universal pattern anyway, as I've made it before, only the 1 SC, 1DC go into the SC across, skipping the DC's. Crochet's so relaxing!
