A New Doll and Other Stuff...

Don't ask me why I ordered a new doll.... I think I have 20 now. 😟 I haven't actually counted them all. But, I have been crocheting doll clothes... And, I crocheted a top and it was wayyyyy too big for the 14 inch doll I was trying to crochet clothes for. (SIGHHH.....)  

This is the top. I thought it was so cute. 

Here it is on the Chanda Doll.  This is the pattern for it: Crochet Ruffle Cutie Top for 14 inch doll. There's a pattern for a skirt, too. I haven't done that yet. Focus!! This is how I get so sidetracked...  I just wanted to crochet outfits for the dolls I have. For Pine Ridge, for Christmas presents...  Now I have another doll. Anyway. I am almost done with a top for the 14 inch doll, there's a skirt for her too. I haven't started the skirt. I'm trying to finish the top first. I also started another doll outfit, another Sweet Pea Outfit. We went to Frankenmuth last Sunday. And I brought something to crochet with me. I just went downstairs and thought of something quick to grab...  The one I am working on is in the same green as the other doll I did.

I also finished a card. I already sent this one. I had made two of the mason jars, and I decided to try and make a card with one. It didn't turn out exactly like the Pinterest picture. But I still think it's kinda cute. Our printer was not working.... So I used a "word" piece I had in my drawer.

And, we saw a turtle!!!!! 🐢 We were sitting there eating dinner one night and my husband was looking out the living room window. He said "There's a squirrel out there. Or a bunny." I got up and went over to the window. I said "That's a turtle". And I grabbed my phone and went out in the back yard. It was a snapping turtle. I didn't get too close.  There's a lot of marshy swampy water around here. There's one ??? marsh or swamp in our back yard behind the garage. And there's another big one on the other side of the house down the hill. He was probably headed for the big one.  I saw two turtles in the road yesterday when I was going to the doctor. There was too much traffic I wanted to stop but there wasn't anyway to stop...  I hope they didn't get hit. They were both on different roads, not in the same spot. They are all waking up from hibernation.
