in all my spare time

yesterday i was brainstorming how to keep the boredom away for my kiddos and do something fun for me as well.  so i made these very crude dolls with interchangeable outfits.  i haven’t finished them, but i didn’t want to go to a lot of trouble if my kids were gonna go, “oh, huh, a doll.”  let me tell ya, they slept with them, named them, and i had to promise to give them right back in order to get pictures of them.  i’ve done it.  i’ve beat boredom, at least for a few hours anyway!                               

                              

here’s all 3, they’re reversible and we’ve already talked about the seasons, by dressing them appropriately, and learned planning, design and art because the boys have decided they need spidey suits and batman suits, and oh, oh, mama, we must have darth vader.  and mama, they need faces that we can change and hair and sunglasses…  i’ll be a little busy until these get old, i think!

                              

here they are with their current outfits. i still have to run a seam around the clothes to keep them from unraveling and the kiddos want their clothes to stay on so i have to go buy velcro.

                              

here’s a picture to get an idea of the size of them.  (just ignore the stained dinosaur jammy shirt – it was not worth the fight.)
