The minute one is done, they pass it around. <br /><br />I need simple stuff like this for social knitting, can't be doing lace while chatting.

Once people see a doll in person and hear the story, they want to get involved.<br /><br />Very glad you're in it.Boudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00641013916263271948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8755568855319050817.post-52584469910413490332020-01-13T06:45:24.728-08:002020-01-13T06:45:24.728-08:00I started an Izzy a couple of nights ago and then ...I started an Izzy a couple of nights ago and then got sidetracked.

Then HPIC took over and I'm continuing with them, now that I've found out about them. There's a moving backstory to the Izzy doll. Google on it for the history.Boudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00641013916263271948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8755568855319050817.post-56532342356009017702020-01-08T18:36:15.525-08:002020-01-08T18:36:15.525-08:00The dolls will be of great comfort.The dolls will be of great comfort.Salty Pumpkin Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10116105220109225010noreply@blogger.com
