Welcome to Creatin' in the Sticks
and
my day - the final day for the
Hello Fall Blog Hop.
To all that participated or commented -
Thank you so much!
I enjoy hosting blog hop events so much.
My head is swimming with all kinds of ideas
and I can't wait to get to stitching.
But first, it's my day to show my
"Halloween Friends".
The story is that I have one granddaughter, Lizzy, and when Thermoweb asked me to design a doll earlier this year, I created one with her in mind.
She has loved that doll every since.
This Halloween, she is going to dress as a witch.
So I tweaked the original design to make a witch doll.
Aren't all 2 1/2-year-olds?
I'm starting a new thing. Every fall I'm going to make a doll to go with her costumes.
We will have something to remember and she will have something I made her.
Last year she wanted to be a kitty cat until her cousin was a witch.
But it was too late to change the costume and she was an adorable black cat.
So for the hop, I've made her doll for this year (witch)
and have gone back to make dolls for the last 2 years too.
Here is her black cat doll.
For her first Halloween, Lizzy was a pink dinosaur.
Here she is with her mommy and daddy.
And here is year one - pink dino doll.
Lizzy has seen the pink dinosaur and black cat.
She called them her Halloween Friends.
Perfect.
I'm all caught up with her first 3 Halloweens.
Then she said that I need to make Frankenstein. HAHA
We will see what she decides for her costume next year.
I want to make a special bag to hold the dolls too - maybe next year...with Frankenstein. HA
It's official, Fall is here
so I invited friends to stitch up something to do with the fall season
and
show it in the Hello Fall Blog Hop.
Here's today's schedule:
Thursday, September 24th

Lots of fall fun here, thanks for all the quilty goodness.
Such a novel idea Carla, and I love the idea that they are soft and squishy, so her little hands can love them and hug them, without any worry that she might ingest anything that could harm her. She will have quite the collection by the time she's an adult! lol
Thanks for organizing this fall blog hop. I have enjoyed visiting various bloggers and learning what they are doing this year. I love your idea for the yearly Halloowe'en dolls. I have a one year old great granddaughter who will have here first real Hallowe'en this year.
What a wonderful way to create memories! I love all the different characters and I'm sure little Lizzy does, too. So sweet! Thank you for sharing and, as always, inspiring me to make something new. xo
I love these dolls. You are so creative and talented and I'm sure your daughter and granddaughter love these! Thanks so much for this awesome blog hop! I really enjoyed seeing all of the projects. I will try to join in on a future blog hop.
What a great idea for the dolls to match her costume each year! I love it! She is such a cutie pie. That kitty costume was great. You are so creative and what great memories you will share!
Carla, Your dolls are so cute. Thank you for the free pattern. Such a cool idea - to make a doll every year to match her Halloween costume. I'm sure your granddaughter will treasure these.

Oh my goodness, these dolls are so stinkin' cute! (So is your granddaughter!) Such a fun way to remember her Halloween costumes! This hop has been a blast!
Great Halloween dolls! Now wish we had a granddaughter - not sure how our grandson would react - he is a real car/truck man! Have thoroughly enjoyed the wonderful projects on the Hop. Thanks for all your work organizing it!
Your dolls are sew cute! Your granddaughter will treasure them for a long time. This hop has been another good one--they all are. Lots of great projects again today!
What a cute idea, making dolls for her each year! My grandmother, and later my mom, always made me a flannel nightgown each Christmas, with a matching nightgown for my doll. I loved it, and my mom carried on that tradition for my daughter. Your dolls are wonderful, and I'm sure she'll enjoy them. Thanks for hosting a fun hop too!
That is such a clever idea! It would be so much fun to have a halloween doll collection for a special young lady.
That’s so cute and such a creative idea. Bet it will be a huge Halloween hit.
What a great idea. Thanks for hosting a fabulous hop!
Those dolls are wonderful and your idea to make them to 'match' your granddaughter's Halloween costumes is pefect. I still have the rag doll my grandma made me, it's a treasure.
Thanks, Carla, for organizing a fun hop. Fall is my favorite season so this was especially fun.
What wonderful memories you’re making for your granddaughter. I would have never been so creative to come up with a matching doll for a Halloween costume. Hats off to you!
Awesome dolls.
The Hello Fall blog hop is so much fun and I'm finding many wonderful ideas. Thank you for participating.
Too darn cute, and yes, you need to make Frankenstein
