Cheryl Wurtenburger knit this little doll for her daughter.  I think it’s really a great idea. You can make many different dolls and stuffed animals with just some imagination and little time. Also, its such a great way to use up left over yarns.

 When I asked about shade plants, I really received some great ideas from many folks.  Here are some photos sent to us from Dora R Wilkerson.  Thanks to all for the imput.  I am going to have so much fun once the rain ever returns to our Virginia area.

Just wanted to share this vest from Dora. Is this the same vest that your daughter is wearing?  Really cute.  Check it out from the back. 

• Just finished my first rug.  It’s about 26″ wide and 36″ long.  Really feels good on bare feet-Lion Brand wool Ease yarn, and some remmants of other yarns.  So, It was so much fun……I’ve decided to go into the rug business.  This has become such a great project for me.  I think I’m going to decorate my house with unique rugs, wall hangings, placemats and so many other ideas.  I just need to find the perfect durable yarns, colors and such.  The knitting board is perfect for this.  How else could you get the thickness with 2 sided effects?  Hand made rugs can be very expensive, but are so pretty coordinating with  a room’s decor.  Should I add fringe to this rug?  I was thinking of some Christmas designs for in front of the fireplace.  Matching throw pillows?  OK, as soon as I find the greatest yarn in the world for these fun projects, I will pass it on to everyone. 

Jupiter just had her first photo shoot. She is a 5 year old really cool GREAT DANE. She loves to wear knit creations and so far, she has had a lot of patience with wardrobe changes.

Jupiter wearing her favorite scarf. She’s waiting for me to knit her a cozy sweater to match.  I told her that there’s a lot of other good doggies out there that are waiting for a knitted sweater, too.  That’s something we’re working on.  She’s so patient-what a sweetie.

Jupiter wearing a doggie cape.  Well, it’s not exactly a sweater, but she thinks she’s really styling. 

Jupiter dressed and ready for an outing.
