Lauren at Goody Goody is a really good friend of mine. She always does tutorials on Fridays and she was nice enough to host me as a guest today! So I did a really nice tutorial on how to make these spool dolls (I know, it's not rocket science... but the theme is quick and easy!) Go to here on her blog and check it out!
I also started a flickr group called Spool and Clothespin Dolls for us all to share our pictures in! It's pretty popular already :) And there are a ton more pics from this tut in my flickr set for spool dolls :)
Thanks for hosting me Lauren!
just discovered this post via google image search: clothespin dolls (i have become obsessed with making these). love your adorable little spool people. i made something similar when i was little. this is the cutest!

Hey, can I bite off this blog and put in my blog? I got so inspired, I made a spool doll!
Not sure how to post pics, so here is the link.

It's amazing--I'm a plush/dollmaker and I find that all the stitchwork and pattern making involved sort of comes naturally but then I looked at other types of artcraft and think, "How in the world do they do that?" I have a thing for these little spool creations and have always wondered how it's done. Thank you! Now I know at least the basics. But I don't want to know the secrets, because that takes away the magic:)
I'm excited I found your blog, btw. I love it!
