I have my first doll there somewhere. It was a Cabbage Patch doll and I kept her around long after the stuffed animals and such had been banished.
I still have my Brownie Bear! LOL - no blanket though.
woohoo!
I just finished bittygirl's pillow. Iam not the best seamstress around, but I know enough to either figure stuff out or get me into big trouble.
Her pillow is (quilted) patchwork on one side and muslin on the other. It is vey small, just her size! When she lets me, I'll get a pic.
He did a good job, too! That is just like a news article.
First ten FReeper replies:

Products of publik skools no doubt...
The neighbor sounds like an idiot...
Boys fight... shoulda just let 'em go. We're raising wimps in this country!
That's ridiculous. My brouther used to beat me up all the time. It's no laughing matter.
Note the DAD had to take action... But I thought dad's weren't important!
People shouldn't drink coffee
Tofu does ~not~ smell like a fart.
Yes it does. Exactly like a fart...
Well it definately doesn't smell like violets.
HAh! That is great :D
ROFLOL!!! Oh hair, that is classic! It sounds just like us!
~chuckling to myself~ :~D
LOL!!
Don't forget the "IBTZ?" and "Bush's fault!" posts too.
Oh - I forgot a comment about whether it really should have been placed in Breaking News...
Followed by the poster saying they hadn't ~intended~ to put it in breaking news...
~slaps forehead~
Bush's fault! Of course!
Whereupon it would be moved OUT of breaking news, and at least two or three late-comers would call the original a complainer an idiot - "It's not IN Breaking News!!!"
Not to mention the one that the did a search and did not SEE the other post and the two that tell them the title is wrong.
Matthew thinks this is all pretty funny...
And then some griping about how it's been moved to ~chat~.
Also at least one cranky FReeper talking about how in the old days, only *real* news would have been posted, and the place is going to heck in a handbasket.
For a wedding gift for SirKit, I crocheted a king size blanket in that ripple stitch, in a variegated combo that was black with all kinds of bright colors. It was vey nice, and we still have it! He made a hope chest for me out of redwood. We still have that, too! I didn't go the route of all the other girls who got hope chests when they graduated high school. I got a 12 string guitar, instead. Still have that, too, though I haven't played it in YEARS!
Mama crocheted baby blankets for all her grandchildren. We kept them for each of the kids. My Daddy was always mystified that something with that many holes in it could be so warm. ;o)
#2 son asked for some fuzzy polyhedral dice for when he gets a car. Clare and I are going to make a set for him, though they likely won't be done in time for Christmas. He'll be here for almost a month, and we can do them during that time.
The baby is due the first week of January, so I'm giving the blanket to Anne for Christmas.
I haven't talked to Ben in a bit, but the kids say he's incredibly nervous. I guess I can see that. ;-)
Next ripple blanket I do, if I do one, will likely be more like yours - I'd like to do black with a bunch of bright colors. We'll see, though. I want to try something different first, though I may give up in frustration!
