Right now I am supposed to be working on my resume and CV. I've never had a CV before, so writing one is challenging and I'm not sure I'm doing it right. Nick has taken Abby to the Children's Museum, so everything is quiet, however I am procrastinating.
We are planning to go to Nick's family this weekend for the Fourth D
ay of July (that's what Abby calls it) and we will see our cousin, Baby Natalie, who is about to turn one. I decided today that I should probably bring Natalie's present, so we can give it to her in person. So, I've been looking at many of the different sewing sites that I enjoy to get ideas. I think that I'm going to make a set of Matryoshka Dolls from Maize Hutton. I'm thinking about enlarging the pattern to make Natalie a set of 6 dolls. These dolls look really cool and I think that the sewing is simple enough that I'll be able to finish it up in the car, if needed. Here's the link if you'd like to make a set of these. http://www.maizehutton.com/matryoshkadoll.html

While I was looking around I found these beautiful dolls at The Purl Bee. (Here's the link to that project: http://www.purlbee.com/hand-sewn-felt-dolls/) I love these dolls. (I also love felt and I love the fact that these are 100% hand sewn and that you don't have to try to turn any of the parts.) I really want to give these a try and they are going in my project notebook. Unfortunately, these look time consuming. The directions are really good, so they don't look hard, as much as it looks like they will take a lot of time. I think that I will put them on Abby's Christmas list. I'm wondering if I can alter them a little to turn them into Princesses or fairies, as that is what Abby is into right now. I'm imagining making a giant hollow log play set for her for these fairies to play in. As much as I don't want to, it's off to the resume/CV project. I hope that everyone got to be a little lazy on Sunday.
