You are very creative and crafty. If you're still looking for a non-creepy doll, check out the Groovy Girls dolls. I've given 2 of them as gifts to my nieces and they loved them. Here's a link to the dolls and a pattern for the clothes. http://www.manhattantoy.com/products/224798/Soft_Girl_Dolls http://cgi.ebay.com.my/Simplicity-5742-DIZZIE-DOLLS-Sewing-Pattern-NEW_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQitemZ390060749727 Enjoy! -Tracy Hi Wendy,

And the way I prioritize my to do list. I only have about 4 hours between coming home from work and going to sleep for the night. Two or more of those hours are spent playing with Isadora, feeding her dinner, cooking our dinnner, eating, bathing the baby and putting her to bed. Most nights she goes down without a fight and that leaves me one to two hours to straighten up the house (I don't really do this :-P), have a nice conversation with Mitch, read, answer personal email, etc. before I go to bed. I have the weekends off, but really don't have huge chunks of time to myself. Maybe an hour or two when Isadora is napping, but I'm usually so wiped out myself that I lay down and sleep next to her. When she's awake, we're playing, running errands, eating, swimming, and visiting with friends and family. When she's a little older and can entertain herself for longer stretches, I'll have more time for projects. Also, I'll start teaching her some sewing basics. My mom started teaching me how to layout and pin patterns down when I was about 3 or 4 years old. She made a lot of my clothes when I was little and made a ton of clothes for my dolls, and had me help with these steps. I wish she still had the clothing patterns, but at least she still had the doll patterns! I brought them back after my last visit with my folks. Lack of time mostly.

You can always forgo the sewing machine and use adhesives. There's fusible webbing you stick between layer of fabric and iron to activate the adhesive. There's also good old Elmer's. Let me know if you really want to start some projects. I can help. What’s stopping you from sewing? You can always forgo the sewing machine and use adhesives.
