Finished!
I finished it! Nevermind that none of the corners are square or that it is rather wonky in spots. My target audience is pleased (though takes exploration of new things very seriously, hence the rather solemn expression,) and spent a long time trying out each little doodad and tag and knob. He is especially fond of the knots in the cord at the bottom. I remembered why I've always got frustrated with sewing projects though... they demand such precision! I love the creative part, and the fine details are fun, though I'm just learning how to do 'em, but all the math and measuring makes me crazy. I'm still afraid to bring out the sewing machine. We've had an unhealthy relationship fraught with fights, cursing and general breakdown. I am hoping we can work through this difficult past and get over our differences. I have a waldorf baby doll kit here that is counting on our reconciliation.

wonderful! i'm sitting looking at a sewing machine and waldorf doll pattern with fear too..done it before, but still...we can get through this!
ReplyDeleteYes, let's face our Waldorf doll fear and get to it! I am currently having trouble making up my mind which kind to start with, and have various doll supplies and parts expected in the mail... someday my babe might actually have a doll! For now we just have to keep rocking that sock monkey!
ReplyDeleteHard to know which post to comment on without commenting on them all ;)
ReplyDeleteYour blog has eaten up my early morning reading time before anyone wakes up, and it's a pleasure.
I had to comment on your Quiet Book for Ari. It's gorgeous, like him.
(And the spiral hair is killing me).
I was working on a book for my Sam and my inspiration petered out (back in November I think, when daylight started seriouly waning around here). I feel inspired again seeing your book and just might pick up the project as spring approaches. Thanks!
ps, my ID doesn't ever show up in the new Blogger Beta, so just in case you're wondering who I am when I comment, I'll leave my link at the bottom.
