Very cute! I loved the little doll gifts.

I would love to let dd have an AG sleepover party. It might not be until this summer. . . .

Thanks! It was fun. I added pictures of the sleeping bag and gifts. I saw the sleeping bags in the new sleepover kit. We made a couple of blankets years ago so I was familiar with the process. Walmart had their fleece on sale for $4.44 a yrd. and it takes less than 1/2 a yard. I precut them but the girls did all the tying. They really liked doing that.

Thanks to the board and the ebay codes before Christmas I was able to get a good deal on the Lindseys'. I sent mine in for a new head and my sister's needs her limbs tightened but I think her DH can do that. We are on the lookout for her Meet outfit and I still need her boots. I wasn't expecting to get her meet outfit at all based on the auctions but one seller found them and included them with a note that said Merry Christmas. I've been so excited but couldn't say anything since my sister lurks. She has always wanted Lindsey and thought about getting her when she was out but our girls weren't old enough so she never did. Again, thanks to the board I had to have her too. [img]tongue.gif[/img] So much for us not repeating dolls.

Christine, I'm happy to share the directions. It was easy, fun, and cheap! I'm not an exact person and mostly eyeball but here goes.

I bought 1/2 yard of a solid and 1/2 yard of a print fleece.This makes 2.

1) Lay one piece on top of the other. It kinda stretches and may not be exact. I line up the bottom and one side.

2) I cut both pieces together to about 16" across and 24" tall. I really didn't measure. I just put a doll down and guessed.

3) Fringe the bottom and up one side by cutting both pieces together about 2" up ans 3/4" wide. I don't measure.

4) Tie the 2 pieces together by tying the corresponding fringe in a double knot.

5) After they finished the 2 sides I fringed the last side about 3/4 of the way up. Then they tied it.

6) Finally I fringed the last 1/4. Instead of tying them together they tied it to the one next to it (so you have to have an even #.) This allows for the doll to fit in and the sleeping bag to fold back so she can breathe - LOL.

The bottom corners are a little tricky. Basically you cut out a 2"x2" square. The whole thing is very forgiving. I made a practice one beore they came. If you have questions just PM me. I'll try to help.

Molly had her own version of a Mystery Party tonight. Some of the pictures aren't that great. My camera is in the shop so I had to use our old one. We had fun until it was time for bed. Two big girl guests ended up going home [img]frown.gif[/img] . It was fun while it lasted though [img]biggrin.gif[/img] . Here is the album:
