I used to make and sell a lot of bedroom dolls and trinket box dolls. (Fancy senoritas and southern bells

). I'm expecting another grandchild in the spring, so I will get to some of the baby stuff-I hope soon. This year with the economy the way it is, I decided to make all my Christmas gifts. Many of them will be crotchet I imagine, but I might get funky and do some painting and other crafting.

You know what would be a good idea?! If we started this coming January, settled on a pattern and each made a big square each month. That would give us 24 squares.

Good talking with you.
