  • shezmit - thank you for the e mail. I can post you photo's of how to fit it, also give you blow by blow instructions, its like putting a hat on outside in - does that make sense? Also do you want me to do a "pattern"?

    Maytaurus - you sneaked back on while I was away seeing to a bottom first delivery on a calf (mum and baby doing great).........naughty you, hope you and your mum are good today and also tomorrow, I live not far from the Centre Bouddhique in Brittany saw 14th DL last August! signed the petition........hope it all helps in some way.

    PSSO - Elaine - can I pm you - re the sewing of cribs? Just noticed that it could have been Lorna
    LC WILSON - Lorna, I think you were the original poster looking for sewn cribs? If it was you can I pm you - I have a bit of a pattern on the go and would like someone to try it out.
    Off for a glass of something - back later I hope

    Yes Jean...btw I`ve been hunting around every blooming website I can think of for those baby born asleep cribs with no joy, seriously considering buying one of those knitting patterns for the doll`s ones tho`, just not sure if they would be the right size- they were really gorgeous.

    I know this is reall ridiculous but I am SO excited I have always wanted just to post pictures from photobucket instead of the link numbers etc but could never figure it out and a minute ago I went to Photobucket and a voice said " "You've won"so loudly I jumped and just pasted from the small picture and the picture came stright on here without the link so I am sooooo chuffed

    So meet Marvin the Manta Ray in person ( Thanks to Soblivion for helping me with the pattern !!! )

    Chalky75, congratulations - a technical expert in the making.

    wonderful pictures of your fabulous toys. Love both Marvin & Sid. & the idea of an Easter tree.

    That set me thinking - I didnt decorate last Xmas & my tree is a twiggy one so I could do something for Easter instead - Hmmmmmm.

    I haven't ploughed my way through all the posts (been too busy making hats!), but is there any where I could send 'full size' ( not preemie) knitted baby clothes. I read about chalky's appeal and thinking of something similar.

    I made more hats and booties yesterday and will update when I've counted them!!
