Uncle Sam dolls



I think I have pretty much made all of the bunnies that I am going to make for this year, I try to think ahead,

so I have finished two Uncle Sam dolls. I used a Bittersweetfolkart Pattern.

I made one a black  and one white. I am quite pleased how they turned out. I used raw sheep wool

for their beards. They are grungy and prim. Pictures don't do justice, they have rusty pins and

bells going down the front of their shirts. (Beards are covering them up.)

Wow! They are terrific! Just trying to catch up with everyone and I sure hope that you are still making those lovely bonnets too. I just may need one or two more! I'm thinking I need another peg rack made...better tell my hubby.

Take care.
