Good Night by Claire Masurel and Marie H. Henry is Prem Gobind’s favorite story .

This is her favorite book to read at bed time  So I make the dolls in the book for her.  Here is the best that I could do. 

This is Max, the bear. Shanti sent me a book so I could make the animals.  So I have made one set for Prem and one to have here for other great grand kids to enjoy also.  I have my Max the bear all done,Next on the bed is Zoe, a rag doll.

I have a rag doll for me also except for the hair.  I think I will put longer hair on mine and put it into two braids. Next on the bed is Jojo, a rabbit.

I have several rabbits done for me so I think I will just make a dress for mine and put it on Floppsy, Moppsy or Cottontail, which I have done already, then it can double for two different story books.  I don’t think I showed you Mother Rabbit and her brother, Benjamin Bunny with his son Benjamin.  So you see I do have lots of rabbits already.  

This is Benjamin Bunny in the middle, with his sister, Mrs Rabbit and Peter Rabbit on the other side.  Young Benjamin is just like Peter only no coat and shoes.  

This is Theo, the dinosaur.  He is not as big as the one in the book but this is the only pattern I could find and I was just as happy to make him smaller since I had to ship them all to California and that costs so much.

This is Oscar the clown.  I had to make the cloth for his body.  Patty who does so much quilting helped me with that.  I have mine all done except his head, which I will do some time soon. The only other animal in the book is Daisy, who is a rubber duck that she takes into the both tub.  The only way I could do Daisy was to get a small rubber duck which I found on Amazon..  Now we both have a Daisy Duck.  I got these all put into a box and they are now at the Post Office on their way to CA.  They should arrive by Sept 1.  I can’t wait for them to see all the toys.  I also included Rapunzel, her tower, the prince and the witch for Dyhana.  Then they both have a set to play with.  I have a set of these also here for Gina to use when she comes to visit.

Now I am going to take a little break from the toys as I need to fill my baby box.  I like to keep on hand baby sets and blankets for us to use whenever some friend or relative is expecting.  If I have to stop and make something when a new baby is born it seems like work but if I have a big box full of things, it is just fun.  I have three sweater sets for girls and two blankets but have run out of boy items so am making several sweater sets like this one I just finished. 

I still have the bootees to make and have started the next blue set.  Then I also am working on some blankets for boys like this one I just finished. 

This is folded into quarters for the picture.  I didn’t have any blue for the joining round so used this nice tan silk/nylon yarn Shirley sent me.  It is very soft and nice and costs $19.50 a skein.  She got it from a friend – I could never pay that much for any yarn so was glad to find a good use for it.  It takes two skeins for each blanket so I am sure who ever I give it to will not mind it is not all blue.  I could even use it for a girl if I needed to.  Then at night when I am tired and almost ready for bed I am making dish clothes for everyone for Christmas as I had the good luck to get the right cotton yarn at just a dollar a skein and that I could afford.  Yarn has gotten so expensive I am so thankful when Shirley’s friends pass on spare yarn to me.  I can always find a use for a spare skein of yarn.  When I get these done I will get back to kitting, crocheting and sewing more animals.  I have a new book coming this week for finger puppets to sew.  I have a book of crocheted finger puppets so that opens up a whole new world of toys.  Have a great day.
