[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 497492, member: 84"] buddy, I might be able to do that. Crocheted sweaters (in my opinion) are much easier to do, and alter for a doll, than a knitted one.......but I'm not great at knitting so that could be why I feel that way. lol I've been toying with doing a set like that for Aubrey for her birthday......actually was thinking matching ponchos as it would be too warm for sweaters in May, and Aubrey wants a poncho. Hat and scarf sets would be cute for next winter too. I was thinking of creating a fb group page for the selling as another way to take in orders. And someone said something about our community having fb pages for such and yeah we're up to like 5 of them and I already belong to them all watching for steals lol Have my eye on a gorgeous cedar chest no one else seems interested in but me, and waiting for the price (already affordable) to go down. Travis is a premium seller on ebay (or whatever they call it) and he said he'd post them for me too. Now as to this custom order deal, do people mind waiting for stuff to be made? Cuz if by chance it really takes off.........like I said, I'm one person. I can only do so much so fast. I've found patterns to make actual bitty baby type shoes, sandals ect and I'm pretty sure Nichole would have fun making those for me. They're made out of foam and felt ect and sewn together. Would like her to practice up on her crochet skills so she can help me with orders too.....but that will take time and practice, and learning to read my patterns.

So far I've not been able to time it right to get an order in. :( Janet I never heard of Madame Alexander until you talked about her here.
