    Have actually managed to get somewhere with my CS...I now have nearly a dog (just missing a few embellishments on the chest and one paw) and now I'm working through a TON of background. I've done just over a quarter (the pattern goes into quarters) and I'm quite impressed as it's my first major project
    ** Total debt: £6950.82 ± May NSDs 1/10 **
    ** Fat Bum Shrinking: -7/56lbs **
    **SPC 2012 #1498 -£152 and 1499 ***
    I do it all because I'm scared.

  • thank you nmm

    the first site i cant get onto for some reason

    but the second is just the style im after but (should have said in last post) i wanted them on different aidas so they can be framed individually for dd's bedroom. i could cut that one if i cant find them seperate but i dont want to butcher the aida (scissors arent my strong point) plus it may be hard to find frames

    thanks for helping me x
  • thank you mrsm - they are the same as nmm's link!

    are they called babuskas in russia? (i sound so thick lol) maybe thats why i couldnt find any!

    Hi there

    Yep-I put Babushka dolls into the search engine.....
    Hopefully you can get them at a good price :D
    If you wan't to do them as seperate dolls, you will be best off buying extra fabric as you will need to allow for a border around each one -would hate for you to do them and run out of room :eek:

    Im still searching because I remember seeing some not so long ago...just have to remember where :rotfl:
    -6 -8 -3 -1.5 -2.5 -3 -1.5-3.5
  • good idea about the extra fabric! i didnt even think! im not having a good day! lol

    thanks for all your help
