Anything "on the go"? PART 2

[sandrainsydney]

very cute

congratulations - the quilt looks fantastic as a whole & in the details.

Last night I worked thru the Doll Club competition classes & decided what I'll enter this year. Competition is first Sat in March

Stuff that is ready -

1859 Lady of Fashion my.opera.com/sandra%20in%20sydney/albums/showpic.dml?album=369533&picture=5377897 - I really must get some more pics of her. She is wearing a white silk ballgown with green lace flounces on bodice & skirt.

Jenny-clone in wedding kimono- white kimono worn for spiritual ceremony & gold kimono worn for reception my.opera.com/sandra%20in%20sydney/albums/show.dml?id=309776?&abc=&page=3&skip=40&show=&perscreen=20

3 small dolls - one needs a cloak, the other needs a layette, & the third needs Victorian underwear & simplified wedding dress. As she's only 6" tall she won't have the detail of 1859 who is 18" tall & is wearing chemise, drawers, corset, corset cover, flannel petticoat, cage crinoline, 2 silk petticoats, bodice, shirt & head-dress as well as commercial stockings & boots.

One of my Japanese paper dolls - I'm trying to chose between 3 - tho as one has a polystyrene head it's probably outside the conditions.

One of my bears - choice from 3 bears - including Marcus the dapper bear with collar, bow tie & briefcase, & Mr Bear who wears a vintage miniature photo-souvenir around his neck. my.opera.com/sandra%20in%20sydney/albums/show.dml?id=316859

A small round bag to be made from vintage Japanese silk. I have a card of old Japanese braid which might make the handle tho I dunno whether it will go with my materials. Otherwise I'll make a twisted cord from Japanese embroidery silks.

The bag is a total invention - one of my silks has lovely round motifs, 2 are the same size & I have several other silks that can line it.

I have patterns for the clothing for the small dolls.

Must be time to log off & locate & iron (& maybe wash) my delicate materials.

I've also cut out about 15 felt chrissy decorations so I'll have samples of all my patterns when I start teaching Felt Chrissy Decorations again later this year. But they are an on-going job.

I feel like crap. I'm about to decide I'm getting sick, infection somewhere. As a result I didn't quilt much today, but got a little done.

The butterfly quilt is 3/4 done! If it's not finished by Friday, there is something REALLY wrong! LOL

Hi Sandra,
This is what I see on my PC using Firefox. I hope that you will see a similar configuration.

If you using the "reply" link, not the little white box that is under the most recent post, down the left hand side you should see "Subject:" then "Attachment:"? To the right of the word, "Attachment:", you'll see an empty field and then a "Browse" button. Click "Browse" and find the file on your computer that you would like to attach.

After you select the file and click "open" the pathway to it should appear in the field that was empty.

Type your message, or description of the image in the field labelled "Message:" then scroll down and click the "Post Reply" button.
Your attachment should appear in the message. You can only attach one item to each post.

I hope this helps.

Sorcha,

You're welcome. I'm glad that it worked for you. It's wonderful to see the things that you've made.

The teddy bears are darling and your attention to detail in the doll clothing is amazing!

And the pin cushions look like edible donuts! LOL

[sandrainsydney]

Dunno whether I'd want to eat felt stuff, Sorcha. Yesterday I bought a felt alphabet game for young children at my favourite charity (goodwill) shop. It had letters on pockets & very cute felt figures in each pocket. it must have been looked after as they show no signs of chewing!

I had a lot of trouble working out what the Q was - it's a yellow rectangle with 2 lots of embroidered lines. I eventually worked thru my Crossword dictionary & decided it must represent quarters as the lines are an "x" & a +". Must be a PC alphabet, no Queens for these little kids.

the pincushions are my contributions to the Goodies Bags for the www.needleworktoolcollectors.org/ Needlework Tool Collectors conference later this year - each state group makes something & our group is doing these pincushions.

They looked so cute I had to take a pic & will take another at the next meeting when the entire lot, approx. 150, will probably be gathered together.

re posting pics - I discovered on the Blooming thread that I can't post a URL & attach a pic in the same message.

Sandra,
I was able to do both. I pasted the URL then added the attachment.

You should also be able to use the img tags to post as many photos from your own site as you want to (if your site allows direct third party links).
