HOWDY FROM DEEP IN THE HEART OF TEXAS

Biscotti 1, welcome to the forum. This little doll is unlike any I've ever seen, but have a look. If you aren't happy with her, do a search for 'knitted topsy turvy doll' I think there may be more than this one on the web. BTW, where in the heart are you? Happy hunting. ~ Grace http://www.bernat.com/pattern.php?PID=4757&cps=21191

hello again ,,,
i'm from pa (bucks county) i have never been to texas but my husband has!! he's been in dallas , el paso, and fortworth; he really likes el paso!

Ive never been to your state, but would love to see it. If your husband liked ElPaso, he should have ckd out the Texas Hill Country. It is the best part of our state, most agree.Are you a long time knitter?

hi jk - we used to live in Bucks County - Doylestown - for many years - we loved it there . . . .

Hi
Look at Jeangreenhowe.com
She publishes many patterns for topsy turvy dolls. I recently made one and it came out fantastic. Very well-written pattern.
Bless you for making these for sick children...What a gift!

LOL Pianogirl, what a hoot! There are just tooo many waaay cute bods and critters at this site. Can't decide which are favorites - Nittybods - Beanbugs - OR - Rainbow Babies. I took a peek at her pattern booklets, as well. What great fun, she knows how to make a child happy! I am told that dolls are very good for children in hospitals. Especially for ones who are too young to express themselves, it provides an opportunity to act out their feelings of anger/frustration, pain, etc. Thank you so much for sharing this link, I love it. ~ Grace

Pa is a large state but not as big as texas !! my husband has not been to texas hill country. he traveled out there on business..still has some ties with business associates outside dallas..i've been crocheting for years; i learned to knit when i was about 8 yrs old; but i just started knitting again 6 years ago! i'm retired now and have a lot more time for family and hobbies !!

we were back in October for my granddaughter's baby shower - loved it - stopped at Peddler's Village for a nice visit - used to take my kids there lots!
i'm back on Long Island where i grew up but feel i have roots in both places . . . . my Doylestown neighbor - we raised our kids together - is the mayor of Doylestown - very proud of her - we're still in touch . . . .

Pianogirl, Holy Moly, thank you for the link to the Jeangreenhowe!!! That is such a fantastic site. I could drop two paychecks there if I could afford it. Can you imagine a little girl and her friend there with those toys? And safe and beautiful and such fun. She hasn't missed much in her designs. Now, if only I can keep to a few!!!! Bless you and THANK you so much!!!! I hear of many other charities but this one I could fall into very easily. Done tons of others but looks like they are covered by many, this.... add me!

 

[helent]

oh, the memories - we went to Peddler's every Halloween to see the scarecrows everywhere - and every Christmas to see the little candles lighting up all the walkways - and to shop, of course!

 

[helent]

i sent a reply but it showed up in a weird place - i wanted to say how we went to Peddler's every Halloween, too, to see the scarecrow display - and again at Christmas to see how the pathways were always lit up with the little paper bags with candles in them - especially beautiful if it happened to be snowing - and, of course, we shopped! lol
