This is the littlest pair of jeans ever with a 7 inch waist and a 4 1/2 inch inseam.  Oh so cute.  (Okay, I’m unlikely to make Barbie jeans, but I’m sure they’re smaller.)  This little outfit is for the babydoll of a pretty little almost two year old, dear Rayna.  I can’t quite believe that it was already two years ago that we got the phone call early in the morning to come over and see her be born.  Ruby will always remember that morning because she got to eat doughnuts!  I’ll make sure to snap a picture of the clothes on the doll.

Miles gets his babydoll and promptly throws it on the floor.  The little guy doesn’t have any clothes yet.  He’ll soon get a pair of jeans and a shirt though.

 It would only be fair to make Miles some clothes too.  They look alike, right?

Miles went to bed tonight with Ruby’s babydoll and his crocheted boy doll.  He’s waiting, but not too patiently, for me to finish this little guy up.  So, tonight the new babydoll got some eyes and just a hint of a smile.  His arms are cut out but there’s still a lot of work to be done!  I need to move fast.

It was clear today that the time is now to make Miles his babydoll. All the materials were ready and he already knows that this pile of fluff will be his soon. I’m NOT going to worry about perfectionism because I know from experience that the doll will take baths, get thrown in puddles, and probably get an unfortunate haircut or two. Soon Ruby’s babydoll may be renamed Big Sister Babydoll.

 Ruby’s Babydoll from Christmas 2005.  Soon she’ll be Big Sister Babydoll.

I’m loving my secret garden right outside my work area! It’s overgrown and crazy and a surprise everytime.
