Miss Rachel is finally finished.  For those of you that have followed me through my Karen's Hope Chest journey, you know I can be a bit of a fanatic about the products I produce.  So after redoing her blouse to make it longer, redoing the top of her coveralls to make the suspenders shorter, and redoing the crochet buttons to make them a bit sturdier, I am finally happy with her.  Hopefully the person that asked me to make her is too!

Slowly but surely this Miss Rachel doll is starting to look like like the the real Miss Rachel. I am working on her overalls now. I had never even heard of her until I was asked to make one.

My last fair of the season starts tomorrow. I am all packed up and ready to go for tomorrow morning. I am trying something new this year - instead of 2 spaces side by side, they are going to be back-to-back. I am hoping this will give me an opportunity to have a unique set-up that will draw people in. We shall see how it goes in the morning.

My latest project - a phone bag with a granny square pocket. It isn't quite finished yet. I am waiting for the hardware to attach the strap. The strap is a crocheted Romanian cord, something I had never seen before. I guess you are never too old to learn something new.
