I bought some clothespins just yesterday for this very purpose! Thanks for posting all of these wonderful links. I can't wait to check them all out.
More great ideas! thanks, I just checked out "The complete book of activities, games , stories ect..." you suggested last night at the library, it's great. We made bakers clay today, and had fun. Thanks for the ideas.
you're the best "links provider" ;o)
thanks a lot !!!
Excellent links! Thank you.
I loved making clothespin dolls as a kid. I often think about doing so again (mostly while hanging the wash).
Oh I loved making clothespin dolls as a kid. They're so simple and fun. Kath you absolutely boggle me with all your good ideas!
All these comments and of course, your ideas, Kath got me thinking...you could put out a little booklet of favorite stuff and homespun ideas. I know I'd be interested in something like that.
Just a thought...
I have just come back to read all of your links and was going to post a thank you. And then I found a link to my blog. So thanks - and thanks again!
Okay Kath you've done it. I'm making peg dolls immediately after the Christmas rush is over. I think Monster Crochet needs a few peg dolls to even out the Veggie overkill don't you?
Wow, how did I miss this post? I'll have to come back and peruse the links when there's more time for it.
Fun project to do with the kids.
Hi! Im 10, amd I was insperated when I saw this website, now im gonna go buy some clothes pins!!
I have made a german doll, and its hair is made with yarn, glued on with a hot glue gun. I used felt for the clothes. i wrapped yarn around its feet, and made a little sash and tied the dolls hair to the side with yarn, and used pipe cleaners for the arms
When I was a little girl, I had clothespin dolls that fit in a little half apron that someone (my Grandma I think) made for me. Recently, I found I still have the apron though not the dolls anymore, so I think I'm going to have to make some of these wonderful dolls to populate my apron.
