Hooked on Amigurumi Dolls

As I mentioned in a previous post, I have been going through a very difficult time lately.  My husband of 27 years passed away unexpectedly on April 16th and it has completely turned my life upside down.  I think the healthiest thing for me now is to try to regain some sense of normalcy in my life.  Crocheting and blogging provide a much needed distraction when I find myself "thinking" too much.  


I finally have a completed project to share with you and I hope that you'll like it as much as I do!  
For quite some time I have been admiring the work of the amazingly talented Beth at By Hook, By Hand. Beth is talented beyond words, and if you haven't visited her blog before you are in for quite a treat!!  So here is my version of Beth's "mini free spirit" doll.  Her name is Katrina.

      


This doll is made from Beth's Mini Free Spirit doll pattern which is available on her blog here.  The thread bear she's holding is one I made a while back and posted here.


      


She's so tiny and petite and only 6 inches tall.  I absolutely love her!
The dress is also from one of Beth's patterns and I think it makes her look so girlie and sweet.I will be making more of these dolls in the future.  You might say "I'm hooked".




Now on to other business!  The winner of the Yoplait Yogurt Spa Set giveaway is Lynn!  Congratulations Lynn! I will be contacting you via e-mail to get your information for the delivery of your gift.  I hope that you will enjoy your gift set and free yogurt coupons, and use them to Nurture and Nourish yourself.  


Next on my to do list is to get back to writing my original design doll patterns, which are coming along nicely, just very S-L-O-W.   

Thanks for visiting, as always.  I hope you have a wonderful weekend and remember to take time in your busy schedules to take care of YOU.
