Harumpf

That is the name of the monkee to the right. He is made from the pattern by Monkee Maker. BUT I've not acquired the knack of making a nice looking mouth. I'm hoping it will come with practise. I guess we'll see. Anyway, his mouth looks like he is a bit pissed and says "Harumpf!"

Baby Babe

I finally made a baby for my Babe...here she is!!!
I used this pattern HERE

Tina T. Sings 'Proud Mary!'

My tribute to the beautiful soulful singers of the 70’s to now! Forever youthful and their music timeless!
Difficult to find just the right hair color. Tina had so many! Her high heeled shoes were made from a disgarded plastic wrapping, bent to shape…and a split sponge type ear plug. Knitted silver thread for the shoe tops and jewelry. Babe altered of course for that unstoppable figure of Tina’s.

My Suzy Q

I've finally finished a Knitted Babe to completion with wardrobe and everything! Her name is Suzy Q and she was really fun to create and design clothes for. I altered the Rudy's shirt pattern to create Suzy Q's teal peacock blue corduroy jacket, then added the tan fur collar and trim to jazz it up. In the second picture Suzy Q is showing the details on the backside of her dress, with vintage buttons, black grosgrain at the waste and black bias tape for the sleeves. The last picture is her little handbag I made from a scrap piece of fabric. It was my favorite part! It was about a 3"x6" rectangle with both sides sewn up, then the bottom corners sewn. It took a good hour to hem the top and get the leather cord through, then I glued green felt covered plastic canvas to the bottom. The flower was perfectly located!

Archie the Mustang

I'd like to introduce you to Archie.

He was much easier to make than I first thought, and I may make another one now.

He looks a little sad, but that's because he needs a friend.

I used rolled paper tubes in his legs to firm them up and he can stand by himself if positioned correctly.

I can see all my girls wanting one now.

A bunch of babes

I found this pic of all the babes I've made. From the left, in the panties, an unnamed babe made for an auction. I call her Trixie. Then in black hair is "Bow - or maybe Beau" named by my daughter. She was the first, and has had a makeover. Then Jack Sparrow, whom I've posted before. Then "Dorothy" and Ron Weasley (also posted here before) and in the front, baby Fairy. :) I'm working on another Fairy, and will be making a set of mermaids for my girls. I love these dolls!

"BABES FOR THE BRAVE"

Hi Everyone.

Putting out a plea to see if any of you would like to donate one or two or a few babes for this program.. We are desperately in need to fulfill the requests on behalf of adolescents and teens undergoing long term inpatient cancer treatment in the hospital and we are receiving lots of request from medical staff and social services involved in these kid's care.

It seems that knitted babes help them get through it all without alot of fuss and without feeling like a wuss and I guess it's because they are so cheery and bright and outrageous that it brings a smile to every adolescent and teen who has received theirs. Word gets out among the patients and more and more requests come in.............

I have been knitting as fast as I can but yes even I caught "The Big C" and have been very busy doing surgeries and scans and mri's and many tests and such. Yesterday I completed my first of many inpatient chemotherapy treatments and got a wig, have to shave my head and yes am knitting myself a chemocap too...............and so every third week I'll go into the hospital and do what I need to do and then the next two weeks work full time and knit those babes and chemocaps and bears and count my blessings that I am here, alive and kicking and able to contribute to and administer the programs which are so important.

If you can donate a babe or two or a few please send it to me at
"BABES FOR THE BRAVE'
%RONNI LYNN SPOLL
PO BOX # 91165
ALLENTOWN, PA. 18109

If you are sending a babe or two or a few please email me to let me know so I can be on the look out for it and please put your return address on the outside of the precious package and please put your name and email address inside the package so I can let you know as soon as it arrives.

Your babe upon receipt will be flying off to her destination via fed exp. or express.postal planes on the special babe flight and will arrive at the hospital to be given to the patient the very next day.....................

You are making one big difference in the life of an adolescent and teen with cancer who needs a babe to cling to during this difficult period to deal with in her life.
Thank You
