Prairie Bonnets

So here they are my first attempt at making prairie bonnets (Just need to coffee stain them). The first three are the ones that I have made. The first one, well it may fit a dolls head. He He And it took me hours to make these! I think maybe the next one I make I will be faster.All I can say is that I would starve to death if this was my livelihood. I am bad at reading patterns, so I just kinda guess on some things. But I am proud!!!!

New Doll from Sweetmeadows Farm

Here is a picture of my new doll that I won on ebay, made by Maureen http://sweetmeadowsfarm.com/

This doll is a toaster cover, but she also has legs so that she can be displayed in a chair or cabinet.

I love her dolls, Maureen is so talented!!!

Coverlet or Homespun Blanket?

Blogger friends I need your help. I would love to have a coverlet but don't feel like I can afford to pay the price for one. I know that sometimes people use these homespun blankets for coverlets. I have black curtains with a cream design throughout the curtains. So which blanket should I pick the black/stripped or brick/stripped? Also what would you do for the pillowcase, two pillow cases or a bolster? Any prim suggestions will be appreciated!!! ( P.S. I forgot to mention, these bedrooms are pictures of the blankets that I like, they are not my bedrooms, I wish they were). Sorry I forgot to mention this earlier.
