Mini-Anna and Mini-Sam

Hello! Sorry for the long break, sometimes life gets in the way of blog-worthy items. But I finally have something to blog about!

I haven't really been knitting for the past few months, so I don't have anything on that front. I knit a couple of pairs of socks for Christmas for my mom and my sister, but I forgot to take photos. Oh well. I also really wanted to make some dolls for my niece and nephew for Christmas, but I couldn't get around to it until last week. Better late than never!




Pattern: Wee Wonderfuls Make-a-long story dolls

I am so in love with these patterns! Even though my sewing skills are still pretty bad, and my embroidery skills are just a notch worse, they still turned out pretty cute! For Mini-Sam, I used scraps that I had around the house, including the kimono fabric I used for Clara. I had to buy new fabric for Mini-Anna, because I didn't have any pink around. To add a little special touch to Anna's doll, I embroidered a picture on one of the shoes.


Phew! It actually turned out loooking like a butterfly.

I gave Anna and Sam their gifts on Saturday. Luckily, Sam did not cry when he saw his slightly alien-looking doppelganger. Here's a photo of how he played with them.

Here's Anna holding both of the dolls.


And this is as close as we got to getting a photo of all four subjects (just ignore the adult size hand in the picture).


I think I can see more of these dolls for other small family members in the future!
