Long Live The Bitties


This is Lynnleigh, the little Mommy, on the day after Christmas, with her Bitty Babies. Her original baby, Abby Deen, is on the far right and the twins, Daniel and Margaret, who came to live with her on Christmas day fill out her lapful. The twins are a bit "older"; with rooted hair, they are the next logical step to caring for babies for this just-turned-four-year- old. We took a birthday shopping trip this past Monday to shop for the threesome, the children needed clothes-- and shoes; Lynnleigh was excited!
Margaret accompanied her Mommy on this trip. Sadly, we learned upon entering the store, that the Bitty Twins have been discontinued. Although there were still Bitty Baby clothes they no longer carry clothes or outfits for Daniel (or all the other Bitty Boys out there). I am happy that Lynnleigh has a set of the last remaining twins. 
This picture makes me laugh, I assure you she's not at all bored! I do think her posture reflects her disappointment over the lack of clothes available for her baby boy. Fear not, however, she was able to find enough to care for all her children: the Bitty Bathtub is on order and she found all the accessories to go with it, these babies will be exceedingly clean! Plus, she found some lovely girl baby clothes and declared on the way home that Nana can make Daniel some clothes, she's even offered me carte blanche on the pattern selection! Thank you, Lynnleigh, I have my work cut out for me. I simply cannot believe that this little Mommy is four years old!
Life is Good!

What a sweetheart! Enjoy the 'work' you've been assigned Gramma! It's a lot of fun, I can assure you, having just made accessories for my 6-year old granddaughter's doll.

There are lots of patterns out there and if I can do it you can. I am not much of a clothes sewer anymore, but made every thing from underwear to shoes. raincoats, even blue jeans. I wish I could remember who made the blue jeans pattern because it is so cute, but I can't even find that in the recent past..

Well, isn't that what grandmas with sewing machines are for? *LOL*
Looks like a grand outing for three(?) generations. : )

We have moved into the land of AG dolls with my granddaugter. Thinking that it's sewing, I decided to sew some outfits! After 3 days I had almost 3 outfits made, almost most of my patience and no desire to make more. A lady at church makes them for $10. I wish I knew that 3 days earlier! I will pay!
