Why do I crochet dolls?

Many people ask why do I only make dolls.

Why dolls?

I love watching them come to life row by row or round by round or stitch by stitch. Creating a little face, making a hair style and designing a dress. Everything speaks to me as I create. I never like to make faces till the dolls are put together. This may sound crazy but they speak to me once I add eyes. They do not need a mouth to express themselves. Dolls make people smile each one shows the love that was put into making one.

Why not blankets?

The answer for me is simple I do not have the patience to make one.

My goals are to make some blankets this year 2014, but not making promises

Have a productive day :)

Unhappy

Did not find the yarn I needed. Started working on 3 monkeys and ran out of color so went to two stores. One store was overpriced the other did not have the color :(. So now working on monkeys with a different yarn and trying not to judge the finale product before it is done.

Razorbacks Theme bear update

He is done. 

Weasel Done now onto a Razorbacks theme bear

Today I finished a weasel that took me 2 months to complete. Proud of myself I worked with no pattern.

Now that I am done with weasel I am working on a teddy bear in the razorbacks colors. So far the head is started and one ear is done. Will post updates as I progress.

Greetings All

Hello fellow bloggers and blog readers it has been awhile since I post on here. I haven't forgotten about you just been busy crocheting and moving.

My newest creations have been a hit but hardly anyone is buying. Right now I am working on two items one for sale or for my collection if no one buys the other for a friend.

Once they are done I will add photos on flickr

Flickr issues

I can't seem to get my flickr site to show on the side so here is the link to my dolls..

Dolls By Liz

Febuary thoughts

Well Valentine's day is a few days away and I didn't get my valentine decoration done. January had me ubber busy. I made a baby blanket, a precious moment baby doll, a plastic canvas precious moments baby boy with blocks, two sack boys and one teacup doll. The baby blanket took me the longest because I've never made blankets before but I am proud of myself.

Will post photos of blanket, doll and plastic canvas which are gifts for someone.

This month the goal is three more blankets and continue on my January list.

What will I finish?
Hopefully sackboys and a few dolls. Blankets are on hold till I can get yarn.

Hello

Been awhile since I've posted. Been working on a few dolls and feeling under the weather.

What do you get a 17 year old boy?

My son's birthday is on the 29th of this month. He loves video games so as a present I gave him a pikmin and a sackboy.

Minion is getting longer but still not happy with the way it looks. Still going to finish it hopefully once stuffed it looks better.

The other ideas are still floating in my head.
