<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Several months ago Momma Cat got a request from her friend, Amanda Cat, to crochet her an egg apron. What the heck is an egg apron, you might ask? It is an apron, in this case, crocheted, with a lot of little pockets for egg gathering. It looks like this.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">It seems that Amanda Cat has a few chickens now, and she thought it would make her life a little easier if she had something to put her eggs in that would also allow her to have both hands free. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Momma Cat had several projects to finish before she was able to start on the apron. But she finally went to JoAnn's and bought some sugar and cream crochet cotton and got busy!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Things were going along swimmingly, as Momma Cat worked on the apron while she watched football with Daddy Cat. She got to the point where she was almost finished when she notice something odd........</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> If anyone were to gather eggs wearing this apron, the eggs would all end up on the ground!!! Momma Cat screamed when she first noticed her mistake, but then she started laughing! It was too funny, even if it meant undoing many hours of work! Momma cat had crocheted the waistband and ties to the wrong end of the apron! Now, that's what she gets for crocheting when she's tired, and also trying to watch several football games! GO DUCKS! GO SEAHAWKS! GO PACKERS!!! </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Anyway, Momma pulled out all of those stitches, then started over on the opposite side of the apron. It took her a couple of days to redo it, but she finished the apron yesterday! </span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> PS If you've never read a book called, "The Egg And I", by Betty MacDonald, you should! It's a very funny story about a man and his wife who start an egg farm up on the Olympic Peninsula after World War II. There's a movie by the same title too, starring Claudette Colbert, and Fred MacMurry. Momma Cat much prefers the book, but the movie is also very entertaining!!!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Momma Cat saw a Robert Tonner "Patsy" doll modelling clothes for a doll clothes maker on eBay and Etsy. She'd never seen one before, and she thought Patsy was adorable! That doll didn't look anything like the original Patsy dolls (photo below) created by Effanbee way back when. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">But, they share the Effanbee name. Robert Tonner did produce some dolls that looked more like the one pictured below. But, then he branched out and created the new version..........</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Momma Cat's Patsy has black hair and big, dark blue eyes! Her arms are jointed at the shoulders, elbows, and wrists. Her legs have a knee joint, but Momma Cat doesn't think it looks as nice as the other joints. What do you think?</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> Momma Cat wanted to buy her little Patsy a completly new outfit, but was appalled by the prices of the original Tonner doll clothes. They are so freakin' expensive! Sometimes the clothes are more than the dolls themselves! So, Momma Cat looked on Etsy and eBay for alternatives!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">First she went to Etsy, <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/DollSecrets?ref=shop_sugg" target="_blank">Doll Secrets</a> for Patsy's undies and tights. Momma Cat has bought clothing from Doll Secrets before, so she knew she could get nice things at reasonable prices.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The Crossroads Doll And Teddy Bear Show was today in Clackamas, Oregon, at the Monarch Hotel. The hotel is in a nice spot because it's not in an overly crowded area. There is easy access, and plenty of parking. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> Momma Cat got up early and went to the show at 8:30am! This is unusual, because Momma Cat would normally try to still be sleeping at that time on a Saturday morning!!!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">But, Momma Cat has been getting up early to go to work several days this week, so her internal clock wakes her up at ungodly times in the a.m., so today she took advantage of it! She got up, bathed, ate breakfast, then went off to the doll show!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The advantage of getting to the show at 8:30am is that there are hardly any other people there at that time! The traffic was very light too, so travel time was minimal! It costs a couple of extra dollars to get in at 8:30, but Crossroads always offer a $1.00 off coupon with their announcements, so it works out pretty well. Momma Cat felt that it was worth a little extra money to have the run of the place and not have to worry about having her toes trod upon! She also got a <u>free</u> copy of a new doll magazine because she got there early!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Momma Cat looked all around the doll show several times, and saw a lot of really cute things. But, she only came away with one prize this time. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Here she is.</span></span><br />

One of the vendors at the show had three little Ann Estelle dolls. They were all in great condition, but none of them had their original tags or boxes. Momma Cat was able to buy this little cutie for only $50, which is a real bargain! Her little jacket and hat are made out of felt, and she has an adorable pleated skirt. Not to mention her gloves, and some little yellow shoes!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Beside her is the Doll magazine Momma Cat got for free!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Momma Cat dearly loves her Tonner "Lizette" doll. She showed her doll to Baby Cat, and Baby Cat liked it a lot, so Momma Cat sent her a Lizette, so she could have a beautiful ball jointed doll too!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Momma Cat wishes she had time to make things for her Lizette. But, currently she has so many projects going on, poor Lizette isn't getting any clothes from her any time soon!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">But, never fear! There are many talented people out there who make beautiful handmade doll clothes! You saw the sweet little outfit Momma Cat got from <a href="http://www.jodiecreations.com/" target="_blank">Jodie Creations</a> in her last blog post. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Momma Cat recently found another doll clothes maker on eBay. She is Amy of <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/AmyDollClothes?ref=shop_sugg" target="_blank">Amy Doll Clothes</a>, based in Thailand. Momma Cat and Baby Cat each bought a dress from Amy, because they were so impressed by their beauty! </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Here's Baby Cat's doll in her new dress.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> Momma Cat loves the dress Baby Cat picked out. Baby Cat bought her doll a pair of silver boots on eBay to go with this dress. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> Momma Cat bought her Lizette's gown first, then she went on eBay and found the shoes. What a perfect match! Now Lizette can go out dancing and look gorgeous doing it!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Amy Doll Clothes are beautifully handcrafted, and are not expensive at all! The Tonner factory made clothes are nice too, but Momma Cat thinks they're way too expensive, and she would rather support an independent seamstress! Especially one as talented as Amy!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Sooner or later Momma's Lizette will need some more practical clothes. But, Momma and Baby Cat are already collaborating on a handmade sweaters (Baby Cat), and matching skirts (Momma Cat), in which they'll each make something for both dolls! Won't that be fun? </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">If you're into making your own doll clothes, there are many patterns available on eBay. Momma Cat recently found one for a Regency gown that she's dying to make!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">At any rate, Momma Cat and Baby Cat will make sure to post their creations as soon as they're finished!! </span></span><br />

How's that for doing things backward!!!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This last picture is of the bottom of Piccolina's shoes. Momma Cat likes to put faux suede, or faux leathers soles on the bottoms, to give the shoes a more finished look. The faux leather in this case was repurposed from an old purse that Momma Cat had. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">That's all for now. Momma Cat has some more projects to finish before she can devote any more time to doll clothes! But, don't worry, she'll blog about those too! </span></span><br />

But, clothing and shoes for these dolls are fairly expensive. The shoes alone can cost $25 a pair! So it may be awhile before Lizette gets an entire outfit. At least for now she's not naked anymore! </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">As you all know, Momma Cat has been making Cat purses. The first two were almost identical. They were made out of black upholstery velvet. The only difference between them was their linings. One was red with white polka dots, the other, black with white polka dots. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Well, Momma Cat found some interesting gray vinyl at JoAnn's, and decided to give it a try. It was a lot harder to work with than the velvet, but the result was rather pleasing. This cat looks just like Momma Cat's next door neighbor's little cat, Yuki!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Here she is. What do you think?</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> Momma Cat has found some gorgeous purple upholstery velvet at the Mill End Store , and a beautiful batik fabric to go with it. Now she is going to make a different kind of bag! So stay tuned! She will show it to you as soon as she finishes it!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Making bags is a lot of fun, and Momma Cat has found that people like to buy them! So, she is trying to make different types using new and interesting fabrics. Wish her luck!</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Momma Cat put new Cat curtains in the room. </span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Their plan is to paint the room,add a rug, and some more lights. There are bookcases with lots of books in the room already, so it will look sort of like a little library!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Momma and Daddy Cat just got back from the Multnomah County Fair. They met up with Big Sister Cat, and Brother-in-law-Cat. They all went into the exhibit hall to see the exhibits, and to see if their entries won any prizes.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Big Sister Cat won two ribbons! She won a First Premium blue ribbon for her beautiful bath mat made out of river rocks. The stones are so smooth and cool, they feel wonderful on your feet on a hot day!</span></span><br />

She took pictures of a few of them to give you some idea.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">All of the Doodles fabrics are 100% cotton, and even though they're in the juvenile apparel fabric section, Big Cats can wear them too!!! They are perfect for making children's clothing, but are great for those that are still young at heart! The fabrics are soft, and they're a very nice quality. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Momma Cat thinks you should go to JoAnn and check them out. You won't regret it!!!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Momma Cat has a room in her house that used to belong to her son. In fact, it still holds many of his belongings! But, Momma and Daddy Cat are going to turn the room into a spare room with a foldout Sofa/bed, so that it's ready for company whenever someone comes for a visit.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">A long time ago, when Baby Cat was just a little kitten, Momma Cat took her shopping at a great toy store called Imaginarium. Baby Cat really loved it there because it was a special place with really nice toys, and a tiny door just for small children to walk through! </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">One day Baby Cat spied this little doll, and fell in love. Momma Cat just had to buy it for her.</span></span><br />

</tbody></table>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">This doll is made by the Corolle company, based in France. She stands about 11 inches tall, and her body type is that of a toddler. These particular dolls aren't made anymore, which is too bad, because they're the perfect size for a two or three-year-old child. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Momma Cat asked Baby Cat what she'd like to name her doll. Baby Cat (2 years old at the time) thought for about a second, then said, "Puku." So Puku it was! </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Puku has been played with, loved, and then displayed. Baby Cat still has her, and took her with her when she moved away from home! </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> Momma Cat misses Baby Cat an awful lot, and when she moved away, it was very hard! So when Momma Cat saw this doll on eBay, she bought it! The little doll reminds Momma Cat of Baby Cat! She's exactly like Puku in every way. She doesn't have her original dress, but she does have her socks, shoes, and undies! Which is very unusual for a used doll! She is in very good shape too. She has only one tiny spot on her face where the color missing. But, it's negligible. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> This little doll is in beautiful shape. She is clean, has no marks on her, she's wearing her original outfit, which is in great condition. She is missing her shoes, socks, and underwear. Momma Cat is already in the process of replacing these. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Momma Cat was having a very difficult time finding clothing or patterns to fit these little dolls. Patterns that size just aren't being made currently. Yesterday Momma Cat happened upon this doll clothes pattern on eBay, so she bought it!</span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> These clothes look about the right size and age level for these little Corolle dolls. Now Momma Cat's little dolls will get to have some new clothes! She can't wait to see how they turn out! Maybe the original Puku will get a new outfit too! We'll see...........</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">A side note: No matter how hard Momma Cat tries, she can't think of these dolls as anything other than Puku dolls. Thanks Baby Cat!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Today Momma Cat found some new, really cute things at her JoAnn Fabric and Craft store that she just <span style="color: red;"><i><u><b>HAD</b></u></i></span> to share with you!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">She was in the Notions Aisle, and saw some really cute hardware for making handbags. Momma Cat makes a lot of handbags, so these really interested her.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Right there next to the cute hardware were these adorable tags. Some are metal, some are leather, all are cute!</span></span><br />

</tbody></table>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> The leather labels are one per package. They metal ones are two to a package. They are meant to be used on all of your handmade items. They can be attached with thread, floss, or rivets. The rivets are right next to them on the Notions Wall display. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Momma Cat bought two of this one, because she liked the printing on it the best. Normally they cost $3.99 each. But, today there was a coupon for 50% off on everything on the Notions Wall. So, Momma Cat got hers for half price! I know, right?!!!😁</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The other exciting things Momma Cat found at JoAnn's today were these two adorable t-shirts! There are several others that are meant for sewers, knitters, and crafters. Momma Cat loved these two the best! </span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">These t-shirts are light-weight, comfortable and they're longer in the back than they are in the front (they look flattering, and they don't ride up)! In the same display with the t-shirts are leggings. If you're the kind of girl that likes to wear leggings, you will want to get some to go with your new t-shirt! These shirts are only $14.99, but again, Momma Cat was able to use her 50% off one regular priced item coupons from JoAnn. So, she got two shirts for the price of one!!!😸 Yay! Momma Cat is soooo smart!!!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> Momma Cat gets coupons any way she can. She signed up on JoAnn's mailing list, on their texting list, and on their email list. Daddy Cat gives her coupons that he finds in the Sunday newspaper! They all help when she goes to buy her fabric and notions to make all of her projects! You can get them too!</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Momma cat purchased this cute pattern from JoAnn Fabric and Crafts several months ago. It had a cat on it! She just had to buy it! She really wanted to make the cat purse!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">A long time passed and Momma finally found the time to make her cat purse. It's a lined bag with two zippers, and a lot of details. So, it took Momma a few days to make it. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> Momma used some velvet upholstery fabric for the body of the purse, and the details are made from marine vinyl. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">She used this wonderful tape to hold the pieces together, instead of pins. Pins leave unsightly holes in vinyl. So this tape works really well! You just don't want to run your needle through it, or it gets gummy!</span></span><br />

</tbody></table>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Sorry about the blurriness of this photo. Momma Cat was in the Wilton section of her JoAnn store today and she saw this new display. Then she started thinking how nice it would be to have a few of these items to brighten up her kitchen! There are silicone trivets, whisks, spoons, spatulas, etc. Most of the items come in two different sizes. So you can pick the one that suits your needs.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">It doesn't even matter if you like to bake or not. These utensils can be used for other food prep, and they won't scrape your pans! Also, they're reasonably priced, so you can afford to buy a few at a time. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Here's a thought, wouldn't they make great bridal shower or hostess gifts! </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">It's amazing the stuff you can find at JoAnn's when you have a little time to look around!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">While Momma Cat was working yesterday she came upon a new line of charms, etc. in JoAnn Fabric and Crafts jewelry section. They are very cute, and this is just a smattering of them. There are so many more things to choose from, you really have to go and take a look for yourself! </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">This first one is a little brooch. Momma Cat thought that it would look lovely in one of her doll's hair. But, it is the type of pin that you could wear on anything. Isn't it just sweet?</span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">See how tiny it is? It's the shape of a bow, and it's got little rhinestones in it! So pretty!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">This next picture is of a pair of hairpins with little bees on them. Momma Cat has never seen blue bees before. Nevertheless, she really liked them, and thought she could cut them down and use them on one of her dolls too. </span></span><br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">This next item is just a lovely little branch-like pin with some little pearls in it. Momma thought it would also make a nice hair ornament for one of her dolls. </span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Momma thinks this last item is the prettiest one! It's a hairpin that looks like a peacock feather! It's so lovely she may have to keep it for herself!!! </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> </span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">There are so many other charms, pendants, tassels, pins, and hairpins at JoAnn's that it's really hard to resist them! Momma Cat had to stop at four for now. But, as Scarlet O'Hara always said, "Tomorrow is another day".</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Since jewelry and hair items for dolls are so hard to find, unless you're into plastic, these seemed like a great find!

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Momma Cat was shopping at her local New Seasons Market the other day. While she was there she needed to look for a birthday card. So, she walked over to the card rack and saw this little adorbs riding a bicycle!</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Momma Cat had to buy it for her little guy's birthday! Momma Cat thought it was very special and was curious about the artist, whose name is Jeannie Lynn Paske, so she looked her up on the internet! Her website is <a href="http://obsoleteworld.com/" target="_blank">obsoleteworld.com</a></span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Here is another example of her incredible artwork. </span></span><br />

</tbody></table>
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">When you have a few minutes to relax and enjoy yourself, you should treat yourself to a look at all the wonderful images on her site. The really lovely thing is that you can buy some of it for yourself, or to give as a gift. She has prints and cards and they're all reasonably priced. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Momma Cat has already purchased several of her cards to send to special cats in her life. But, she would dearly love to purchase one of Jeannie's prints. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The problem is, which one?! They are all so wonderful!!! </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">One more thing about New Seasons Market. They usually have a pretty nice selection of local artists things in their card rack. So, if you're looking for something out of the ordinary, you should look there. You might find something awesome! </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Momma Cat has purchased several little Madame Alexander dolls over the last six moths or so. Most of the time Momma Cat buys dolls that have no clothes. But, she has gotten a couple of dressed ones that she plans to make new clothes for1 </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The only problem with buying used dolls is that sometimes they come with problems! Most of them are a little dirty, which is no big deal. The dirt can be cleaned off with alcohol and a Mr. Clean eraser sponge. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Some dolls have stains on their bodies from clothing dyes, and sometimes they have ink on them from their former playmates. These things can be a little bit of a challenge, but a product called "Remove-Zit" has been a Godsend for the really stubborn stains. This product is only available online, and it's a little spendy. But, it really works!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The last, and hardest challenge for Momma Cat was that some of her dolls needed to be restrung! Momma Cat has never restrung a doll before in her life! So, she went online to YouTube and found an excellent video that showed her just how to do it!!! </span></span><br />
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9VziaxFiP8" target="_blank">How To Restring A Doll At Home</a><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">This video gave Momma Cat step by step instructions for putting the little dolls back together again. Momma Cat highly recommends it!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Even though the video was really good, Momma Cat had to redo her first doll a couple of times to get it right! Here's a picture of a couple of dolls that She just finished restringing, along with a doll that is waiting to be put back together.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Momma Cat still has one more doll to restring, but she ran out of elastic cording!!!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The next thing all these little cuties will need is some clothing and shoes! It's a good thing they can't talk, or they'd be bugging Momma Cat all the time!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">If you have a doll that needs to be restrung, save your money and try doing it yourself! You can get the elastic cording at just about any fabric store. You can buy the hemostats at fabric and craft stores, and probably sporting good stores, as well (people use them to make fly-fishing lures)! Momma Cat found some at JoAnn Fabrics and Crafts in the quilting notions! Only there they are referred to as "Needle Pullers"!!!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Needless to say, it was crafty, it was fun, and Momma Cat saved herself a lot of money by trying it herself!😺 </span></span><br />
