She's a Sweetie

De and I exchanged our Christmas dollies last week.  I just love the dolly De made for me!  She has a sweet face with a wise expression, like an old soul.  Here she is:



Thank you so much, De.  I really like her a lot!
Here is the dolly I made for De.  She is from an old pattern I've had for ages.  Her hair is made from buttons with fabric strips tied around them. 



I also finished this present last week for a nice guy that helps me now and then around the house.  He recently bought his first new car and he is right into buying accessories too!  He came over yesterday and I gave him this:





I  was a bit surprised that he worked out what it was on his first guess.   He kept going on about the fabric and how much he LOVES raccoons!  Who knew?!?!  I sure didn't. LOL.  He took it right
out to his new car and put it on straight away:



It fits perfectly.  Thank you to De for giving me the idea and directions.  It was a pleasure to make and to give.     Today I finally got my Christmas package from USA, so I will be eating some special treats over the next few days. Yum :)    Have a great day.  debbie
