I’ve been enjoying assembling this farm stand this week. I made a few things for it, but I had all of the produce. I’ve been gathering it for years and this was a fun way to use a bunch of it at once.
I love this Blythe doll! She really needs a wardrobe. I really struggled to find her a top. This is one I made years ago to go under Skipper’s Learning to Ride jacket. I will eventually get to sewing. I bought a few things like the jeans and boots. I really want to make her a cute red headband.
