My sister's Christmas present is finished, in all its irregular glory. Learn from my example if you ever do two facing profiles: make sure the eyes are on the same level. She seems to be somewhat taller than him.
Here is how this started out. His collar is a little piece of fabric I found on the ground. Her flower is an antique frog from the antiques center (the closure kind of frog, not the amphibian).
Edit: ooh, I'm so excited. I figured out how to fasten it to the wall - glue a tack to the interior side of a snap (use silicon glue, I use the brand E6000), then sew the snap "socket" to the fabric. This is without a doubt the most brilliant thing I have ever done! Okay, maybe somebody thought of this before - please don't tell me.
This is what happened to the raffia in the earlier post....Can you seen where the doll is going now?

Due to having some situations to deal with in December, I didn't get my sister's Christmas present done. Well, it will have to be a New Year's present. I do love sewing and baking in the winter, well, hand-sewing anyway - working with the sewing machine usually ends up involving a lot of ripping out of stitches and/or putting in of gussets (not to mention what my nephew Michael used to call "squaring" when he was little). I'll show the end result when it's finished.
There are a few who ply a needle and thread who stop here occasionally (real needle and thread in photo, though you can't see them very well), so this one's for you. I believe my English readers will also enjoy the reference.
