Kelsey: Spring attire

Here is Kelsey, in one of her Springtime outfits. The plaid cropped pants and yellow t-shirt are so perfect for the warmer temperatures. Kelsey is also wearing her white espadrilles. It has been a while since I have sewn clothing for her, but plan on doing more in the near future. She was originally bought as a model to sew clothing for my granddaughter's American Girl® dolls. OK, now it is just fun to sew the clothing, lol. Do you ever sew doll clothing?

Happy Easter 2018

Happy Easter morning to you all. Hoping your day is going well. Spring is such a nice time of the year, with its warmer temperatures and the flowers blooming. Even a bit if rain is OK with me.
