I honestly feel like I spend all my time organizing and planning and devising. I don’t know when I get any work done. All day I’ve been straightening, puttering and plotting for the next couple Make-Along dolls. By the time these are done I’ll have 3 outfit sets for the Make-Along subscription so I think that will be enough to launch that program on its own as well – exciting!!

Both made from the Elsa pattern. Maybe after … More

And I wanted to do a more elaborate outfit but in the end I just wanted to have something made, done, accomplished. I love this fabric I used for her skirt.
