Sewing for Hearts for Hearts Girls Dolls: Creativity time!

How creative can you be with a simple pattern? Look what Mrs. Kathy Webster-Link made from Beach Baby Doll's simple patterns to fit the Hearts for Hearts Girls Dolls and other 13-14 inch girl dolls. I love the eyelet nightie with her creative use of eyelet material and ribbon embellishement. It looks like she lined it too by putting in an underskirt made from the bodice piece just cut a little smaller. Simple to do and so beautiful. Kathy says she enjoys making these outfits for 6 blessed little girls in her life!

Above is a bunny print flannel gown made with the same pattern.
This time Kathy made a cute sort of leg of muffin sleeve treatment by inserting elastic in the sleeve at the short sleeve line. This makes the upper portion of the sleeve puff up a bit. Love it! She also put some elastic at the waist. This gown hardly looks like the same pattern as the eyelet one, but it is.

Time for Fall! Kathy's doll looks so happy to be back in school in this denim jumper and three quarter length sleeve T . I like the way she frayed the edges of the kangaroo pocket and adapted the sleeve length for the season just adding on a couple of inches. Here's the jumper and tee pattern she used.

You can see more of Kathy's adorable colorful outfits on our Your Creations Page. Grandmas make memories! Wouldn't you like to show us some of your creations with our patterns? I would love to see them.

Besides sewing and being a busy grandmother, Kathy works for a great organization called Dispensary of Hope. They help people to obtain free medication.

BeachBabyDoll loves Doll Diaries new American Doll Room give-away contest!

Hey all, I joined the Doll Diaries and American Doll Room give-away contest so I could win a doll room. You're supposed to describe the room you want and how you will use it. Well, there's a million possibilities! I commented on a different room than this, but then I was thinking that boys would really like the barn or cabin room for their horses or action figures" hideouts. I don't know why I didn't think of that first now that I have a grandson! The fun's not limited to girls! The rooms are so cute and so many possibilities for imaginative play for boys, girls, moms, dads and grandparents. They fold up too which is great because most people don't have a lot of space! See the room sets at American Doll Room Then join the contest at Doll Diaries. Hope I win! How about you?

(PS: Nobody's paying me to post this! I have no connection with Doll Diaries or American Doll Room. They're both really creative.)

What Christmas and Easter and Life is all about!

What's the Good News of Christ?" It's Good News for everyone that God sent Himself into the world to be a man and to become a substitute taking the punishment for man for all his sins. The Bible says everyone sins. Did you ever even tell one little "white lie" or say or think something unkind about someone? Then you have sinned. And we become enslaved by guilt and our sins. Ugh! Sin saps our energy.The Bible says we are dead spiritually, when we don't know Jesus Christ as our Savior. That means we can't really get close to God, our Creator, because He is perfect but our sin separates us from Him. So we need to get a life and know God (Jesus). When we learn about how God sent Jesus for us, we trust in Him to be able to wipe out COMPLETELY our sins that separate us from God.. We can learn about God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit in the Bible which is God's true Word. After we learn how much He loves us, we can approach Him for forgiveness. He accepts our plea in trust for forgiveness and saves us, giving us new life in Him. All the stuff we did wrong is wiped out because Jesus died on the cross for each of us. He totally conquered sin and death when He rose again at His resurrection. Knowing that and trusting Him for our salvation, we can start to really live through the gift of the Holy Spirit in our heart which is Jesus's Spirit that He promised us. We're still going to sin but the Holy Spirit will help us know when that happens so we can approach the Lord about it and learn to live more like He did on earth. And even more wonderful, Jesus says when we come to Him for salvation, He makes us a place in Heaven with Him so we will live forever. If you don't know about this in your heart, pray first even if you don't know what to say, check out the Bible, use a translation you can understand and read the book of John in the New Testament. John 3:16 is very famous and so is the next verse #17. ¹⁶" For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. ¹⁷ For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him." If you are really interested in learning more about who God is, ask a pastor or Christian friend to give you some help learning about Jesus in the Bible and to pray for you. You can pray anytime. God loves to hear from you!
