Four Part Harmony

I’ve been meaning to post some pictures of one of Nicki’s latest sewing projects.

This is “Newt”.

Nicki had decided to make some dolls for Anna, and had tracked down a set of instructions for this cool brother and sister pair of dolls (In case you’ve never gone looking, the Internet is absolutely bursting at the seams…sorry…with craft project sites/blogs/etc…this is a “wee wonderfuls” pattern, I am told). This one, the girl, is “Newt”, and the next one will be “Acorn”. These aren’t the names that came with the pattern/instructions, but I think most of you know the significance of the names for us.

As with the last couple of projects, I’m super impressed with how this turned out. Nicki’s got endless patience when she gets into sewing mode, and will happily rip out a line of stitches if something doesn’t seem right. That said though, this project seemed to come together pretty quickly in just a few nights.

Anna’s rather fond of Newt, and has lately been taking her everywhere. These past couple of weeks, several times we’ve been out the door, gotten Anna all buckled up into her car seat and just about gotten the door closed, and then Anna says “I want to bring Newt along!”.

We’ve been busy lately, and craft/project time has fallen by the wayside. Hopefully we’ll be able to back into it soon.
