I have declared Fridays to be Finish it up Friday’s. I decided to do this because I have so many unfinished projects around my office I’m starting to be overwhelmed so to hold myself accountable I am going to finish one craft a week and then post what it is I did for all the world to see.
This week I finished up this raggedy doll. This is a Sweetmeadows Farm pattern that I bought at the Lititz craft show here in Pa. I really admire her work and really wanted to make an eyelid on something so I went for it. Well I soon put the doll down because, well, I’m a perfectionist and the eyelids weren’t working for me. I decided to finish her anyway and call her primitive. I really like her dress it has a great stain to it. I love when the stain has a sort of verigated look to it with dark and lighter spots all over.
I’m not sure if I will attempt the eyelid anytime soon but it sure was a challenge. Well now that I think about it, it wasn’t so much the eyelid as it was the coloring of the eyeball???? lol.
Check back next week as I have an unfinished snowman from the same pattern that needs to be finished eyelids and all.
