Barbie Jean's Place

    Hey everyone!  My mother is a fabulous handcrafter.  She simply loves to sit and do handwork for gifts, profit, our house, and sheer pleasure.  People love her work.  She has loads of pattern books, which take up a lot of space, but are well worth it!  We have spent long, leisurly walks down the yarn aisles of Joanne's, Micheals, and Hobby-Lobby; even Walmart and Meijer are among our many memories!  Mom is, as of fairly recently, trying to sell her work.  Below is a post from her site, Barbie Jean's Place.  As she is just starting off, this is the only item available, but more are soon to follow.  Keep checking her site for updates!

1940's Sweetheart

    I love to do handwork!  If I could, I would sit and do it all day.  I can do anything from doilies, to afghans, to hats, to socks, and just about anything in between.  The picture posted at left is one of my most recent works, a 1940's hand-knitted pink dress for a baby girl with a burgandy ribbon.  It has a lace-pattern stripe stitch, and is a beautiful addition to any little girl's wardrobe. It buttons in the back, at the neck.  It has a full skirt, it is cold-water washable, and dryable on a low-heat setting. This dress is suitable for baby girls size 2.  I will be charging $50.00 plus shipping and handling.  For questions, comments, or to buy, please send your email messages to bjc.handcrafter@gmail.com.
