Guess what I did!

You're not going to believe what I did today! It's so amazing! It starts with the letter D.

Yes, I did something other than ATCs! This is from a Jill Maas pattern - isn't her body something else! I love the way it curves, kind of looks like she's pregnant, LOL. You know how everyone elses stuff is better than your stuff? Well, the body fabric is from my friend Heather, I just got it in the mail this week. It's a batik and it's gorgeous. This little puppy is stuffed hard as a rock. Took me nearly an hour just to do the body. It's got about a cup full of shotgun pellets in the bottom to weight it down too. It's heavy! The camera angle makes the arm look really big, it really isn't that big but it is long and it has some of the skinniest fingers I've had to deal with yet. Wasn't fun turning them but I did it! YAY! Thank goodness they are velour rather than cotton. Much more forgiving material. I still have to sew the boobs on, stuff the other arm, and do the head. What's neat about this pattern is there isn't any face painting. The facial features are made of felt and you embroider eyelashes on. I was SO surprised when I realized that. I hope to have it done tomorrow. It's a present for my favorite aunt who has to have a single mastectomy next Tuesday.
