Craft Gossip Dolly Donation Challenge: Extended!!

July 31, 2010 by Anne Weaver

Has anyone else been experiencing Extreme Summer Busy-ness (E.S.B.)?  You know, one crazy hectic day after another filled with playdates, family obligations, swim team, library reading club, and other random activities coming at you so fast you hardly have time to breathe? 

E.S.B. hit hard at the Weaver household this summer, and has caused me to fall behind on my Craft Gossip Dolly Donation Challenge pledge.  My pledge was to create five dolls and two new patterns for dolly accessories.  I’ve made the patterns, but have only been able to create two dollies. 

Last night as I was realizing that the month of July was quickly coming to a close, I realized two things.  1) There wasn’t time in the next 24 hours for me to make three dollies, and 2) that I was surely not the only one feeling the summer crunch.

So… in recognition of the havoc that E.S.B. is wreaking on all of our lives, I’m going to extend the Craft Gossip Dolly Donation Challenge for one more month.  We’ll run it through the month of August, with the deadline for receiving dollies extended until September 7, 2010.  This will give time for the kiddoes to get back into school and our schedules to get a little more predictable, and will give us all a little less hectic pace for making the dollies.

Get more details about the Dolly Donation Challenge here.

Easy Cosmetics Bag Sewing Pattern

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!

It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.

Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
