As my readers know......some of my posts are not here, I actually missed a Raggedy Wednesday :( and broke a 2+ year pattern, oh well the little red haired dolls will forgive me. I just wanted to let my reader's know that there has been a few complications in my cancer treatment, nothing to a great deal of "edge of death" just a set-back, that's all.
So until further (short) notice C&G Design will be in vacation mode. Thanks for all your support and thanks to my big sister for the beautiful flowers. C&G Design.
Have a great Monday! C&G DesignWords and photos by Dawn,C&G Design.
I think this little dolly is cute, Madame and I picked her up at the thrift store recently She is a "Madame Magnan" made in 1987.Inside the tag is a description in a foreign language, she is also numbered.Her hair is gorgeous and untouched! She is all vinyl. I've looked on the Internet and I can't see to find anything.Hopefully someone out there will know. C&C Design
It took me a little bit to decide on what kind of Temari ball to make next, I have so many large spools of 2 ply wool yarn and quart size bags of embroidery thread (primary colors). So I came up with a ornament my mother-in-law made me many moons ago, the pattern looked simple and although she used variegated thread, I though a gradual fade to a predominate color would work well.
My north, south pole along with the equator is made from the matching background.
Last Raggedy Wednesday I highlighted a birthday present my husband located for me, a book (see here), this is the other book he found. Raggedy Ann and the Magic Book. This hard bound book was published in 1939, somewhere in Britain. The special thing about this story is the illustrations by Worth Gruelle, Johnny's son.
You can see Worth inherited a lot of Johnny's talent. I love these little Ann and Andy.
