Nellie is here!

Wow, 2 posts in one day. I'm on a roll! I get productive when the kids are gone and the house is quiet.

I received Nellie yesterday. I bought her from a member of one of the boards I frequent. She is customized a bit and gorgeous! She is the one doll I have wanted since I started getting interested in AG dolls. Unfortunately, I started after she was retired/archived. The only customization is her freckles were removed. I think she looks very sweet.



She is already very loved. Thank you to Stephanie from Zeebeedesigns for letting me buy her Nellie.

Huge order from Elmore Pisgah

Well, I had to place an order. They had reduced their prices so much, I just had to order. I got tons! First is the entire order.



I ordered a 2 pound bag of whatever they want to send me. This bag actually has all worsted cotton. The dish clothe cotton.



Then I ordered rayon chenille. It is hard to find and I love their colors. I did find another company in Canada that carries chenille, but not ombres.



I also ordered some perle cotton. Just a little.



Last but not least, size 10 crochet cotton. I do doll clothes and it's hard to find the nice colors here.



On a final note, I had emailed Spinrite about not discontinuing the chenille line and their reply was that they were unsure if they were going to discontinue anything. The letter I received in my order was that they were in fact discontinuing the crochet cotton and the chenille.

Yarn Purchase

Just made a huge order from Elmore Pisgah. They just reduced their prices again, so had to go for it. I was going to make an order before, but ran into some finance issues. But, at those prices, I just could not resist. I will post a pic when it comes in. :)
