I usually stick to Halloween costumes and things like pillows. I have a dress I made when I was first married. now that I think of it, it was very Holly Hobbyish. I will never wear it again, unless I go to a pioneer day or something. But I made it and it will always be something I'll keep.Kristina Mathewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13804213867765158362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-20343397103418432092011-12-05T15:58:43.764-05:002011-12-05T15:58:43.764-05:00I loved your story.

They weren't all that great but it mattered to me, like I think with you, that I actually made something from scratch. I don't sew much now but I do make little things that are all my own work everysingle Christmas!Nancy Jardine Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12366248895961876075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-25843630892528673792011-12-05T13:30:00.831-05:002011-12-05T13:30:00.831-05:00Count me on the teary-eyed.

The little stove's burners came off with a tiny little tool and the bread came out of the little pan. I remember everything was detailed and realistic. (The kind of thing that would be labeled choking hazard now days) I loved it. I'm glad you kept the dress, and the husband. ; ) Both are priceless.Shawna Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12476399575493212858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-7412254972591618402011-12-05T11:31:51.262-05:002011-12-05T11:31:51.262-05:00Thanks for stopping by, everybody.
