I told myself that I wouldn't start any new projects until I had worked my way through some projects in the UFO pile. Well that didn't last long.
P's new baby doll was cold so what is a grandmother to do but make a socks and a hat for the baby.
I am OK with my rule breaking for the following reasons:
1. It used up all but about 8 inches of the yarn left from Petunia's Rose Dress. (cleaning up the slow way.)
2. The project was finished in a couple of hours and did not add to the UFO pile.
3. The baby is no longer cold and Petunia is happy with the new items for her doll.
4. The little socks are just too cute not to like.
P still wants more items for the new baby's wardrobe but for now these are enough. She has discovered that the new baby can also wear clothes from her other doll. They are a tiny bit big but they work.
I also could not believe that in my huge collection of doll clothes sewing patterns I did not have a single one for a 12 inch baby doll. Not a single one. How did that happen?
Now, back to the UFO pile. The next step on this project is drawing a 94 by 9.5 inch feathered vine to quilt in the floral strips of the quilt. I'll try to work on that today.
