Questions & Comments

if u are going to make a project like this. can u write down the pattern and put it up for auction. u would get a lot of bids. i would like to do one with a different doll

Oct 16th, 2013 at 2:26:37 PM PDT by

I guess u could be right about writing the pattern down but, then that's all it'd be, is a piece of paper and it wouldn't be one of a kind then either. Believe me, if I had a pattern for this, I'd just send it to you. I just do these for fun. I don't sell them outright for money,in fact today is only the second time I've even shown anyone other than family what I do :)

Oct 16th, 2013 at 2:37:04 PM PDT by

if i miss this one were will u file another one so i can check on it. if u decide to put a second one up

Oct 16th, 2013 at 3:41:59 PM PDT by

If this goes well, I will try to list another. This is the second one I've put up, did u not get to see the first one? If you'd like, and don't mind sharing you personal email address with me, I can send u a couple of pics of this one and the first.I'm still really new to listia, but if there's a way for u to see the first one(if u didn't), go see it:) or I don't mind sending u a couple just to u. Which ever u prefer,just let me know,ok?
Happy Thursday! Stacey >¡<

May not get to answer u till later in the morning, but I promise you'll be the first I answer,ok? You know, if u like to crochet, especially Barbie dresses, I have an unbelievable amount of never used patters. I could if u were interested, give u a few-if u wanted:) Let me know, I'll be on here a few more minutes:) Stacey >¡<

Oct 17th, 2013 at 2:32:23 PM PDT by

Wow! This is beautiful! You are very talented! Fanned and watching. I'm so impressed!

Oct 17th, 2013 at 7:41:54 PM PDT by

>¡< Thank you :~)

Oct 17th, 2013 at 9:38:55 PM PDT by

:-) Thank u very much for your nice compliments. I really appreciate them.
F & W, you too! Have a great Friday. >¡<

Oct 17th, 2013 at 9:15:27 PM PDT by

do u have the pattern for this?

Oct 16th, 2013 at 11:03:39 AM PDT by

Awww...what a cute puppy :) I'm sorry to say no I don't have a pattern for this dress. This and the several others I have are my own designs. I don't follow patterns very often unless it would be to start the bodice or if I wanted it to have tiered train,then I might use an old pattern to start it right. I'm sorry but thank u for asking. Have a good one :)

Oct 16th, 2013 at 2:01:55 PM PDT by

This is beautiful does the doll come with it?

Oct 18th, 2013 at 4:55:57 PM PDT by

Yes she does :)

Oct 18th, 2013 at 7:19:17 PM PDT by

Beautiful!!!! I fanned you. God bless! Jorita :-)

Oct 24th, 2013 at 8:54:01 PM PDT by

This is so beautiful, I am glad I was able to help you get over 10,000 it is so worth that and a lot more.
Looking forward to seeing your next one.

Oct 24th, 2013 at 7:12:21 PM PDT by

very nice work, I admire people who can do this with no pattern.

Oct 24th, 2013 at 7:14:54 AM PDT by

Thank you ver much. Have a great day >¡<

Oct 24th, 2013 at 10:57:43 AM PDT by

no problem feel free to give me your email

Oct 22nd, 2013 at 7:08:36 PM PDT by

I left it in a msg for you:) have a great one! >¡<

Oct 23rd, 2013 at 2:29:02 AM PDT by

This is beautiful! My mother crochets dresses for me and creates her own designs as well. We love patterns and dresses and are so appreciative of the work that goes into making dresses. I just made my first dress ever a few weeks ago out using needlepoint. I love homemade dresses

Oct 21st, 2013 at 9:00:43 PM PDT by

>¡< Thank u so much for your compliment and sharing your story with me. I would love to make more but I have so much trouble following pattern directions, I think it's a subconscious thing about being told what to do, LOL! so I just work on creating my own, which to me, is what takes the longest:) Congrats on your first handmade and with needlepoint! If I give my email address, I'd love to see a photo of it, if you'd like to share(some artists have a thing about sharing, I've noticed) Anyway, I wish you great luck in bidding, I hope you win it!

Oct 22nd, 2013 at 5:01:36 PM PDT by

This takes talent. So beautiful. The color combinations are perfect and the attention to detail, stunning. My mother in law can draw these dolls in the victorian dresses so I hope to get this for her to see and to display it with my collector dolls. Thanks fanned you.

Oct 21st, 2013 at 7:24:01 PM PDT by

Thank you for such a kind compliment. I wasn't sure about the colors, I'm not color blind or anything, I just happen to be one if those unlucky people that can't match a knife and fork, much less colors,LOL! But thank you for that, it does relieve some up-tightness I develop when I do show someone what I've created :) I wish you all the luck in the auction and getting the top bid! >¡<

Oct 22nd, 2013 at 5:10:05 PM PDT by

Thanks much. About the gift cards, I mostly get the Amazon cards. The winning bids on those are for instance, for a $1 card, at least 1,000 points but usually a bit more. For a $5 card, at least 5,000 points but usually a bit more. Depends on how many people are bidding. That's why I was really reluctant to start the bidding on my dress for less than I did. But I also know that most of the bids on auctions are made close to the ending time, unless you put a GIN and someone likes it well enough to use the GIN. I'll see how it goes. And if this Barbie is any indication, I encourage you to display your work in a blog!

Oct 21st, 2013 at 12:45:20 AM PDT by

Ok, I understand now about the gift card thing, that makes sense :) and you're right too when u mentioned about the bidding heating up toward as the time winds down. You never know too, there might be more people watching than are admitting, waiting for that first bid to be cast. I'll be watching and having my fingers crossed for you :) good luck >¡<

Oct 21st, 2013 at 3:13:37 PM PDT by

Hope your auction does well. I put one of my hand-crocheted items on Listia for the first time (a baby dress and jacket) and I started the bid at what a $3 gift card goes for, but so far, no one is bidding. I'm waiting to see how this auction does before I put up more items (especially Barbies, which take so long to make). Do you have a crochet blog or site with pictures of your creations? Mine is teri360.blogspot.com.

Oct 19th, 2013 at 5:20:19 PM PDT by

Oh it's beautiful! I wish I had the credits to get it now! You should put more of your crocheted baby things out, your work is so pretty! I do want to ask tho,u said u started it out at what a $3 gift card goes for? What kind of gift card cause I'm really confused about the $3 and the 3,700 credits.Im still new here and still asked questions. What kind of gift card are u referring?

About a blog... No,I don't have one. This is only the second time I've ever shown any of my work to anyone other than my immediate family. I'm so shy about the things I make-afghans,baby clothes,layettes,booties, all kinds of shawls and evening wraps, plus the Barbie dresses,but I just make them and store them. Oh once in a blue moon,I might give something as a shower gift or some other special occassion but I always mail it or have someone else give it. Sometimes,that gets me down or I get angry w/myself for being that way but...who knows, maybe Listia will bring me outta my shell,lol!

Thank u for the compliment and the good luck wish. Good luck to u too and I F & W your baby dress,it's just too cute:)

Thank you
F&W will be bidding :-)

Oct 19th, 2013 at 10:58:30 AM PDT by

Thank you and good luck! >¡<

Oct 19th, 2013 at 7:38:58 PM PDT by

Yes the doll and the stand she's on all come with her >¡<

Oct 18th, 2013 at 7:12:59 PM PDT by

That is gorgeous! I wish I could crochet like that lol

Oct 17th, 2013 at 9:59:43 PM PDT by

8•) Oh, you so funny,LOL!!
Thank you tho, for the very nice compliment. >¡<

Oct 17th, 2013 at 11:27:46 PM PDT by

I'm impressed. I can follow a pattern OK but haven't done much designing at all.

Oct 16th, 2013 at 2:07:44 PM PDT by

Thank you very much :) LOL, it's funny, you say you can follow patterns ok, but haven't done much w/designing and I'm completely the opposite-patterns and I do not get along with each other. The pattern itself,when I've attempted to make something I really would like to have, usually ends up thrown across the room! I just have great difficulty following directions.My mom always said I was hard headed,lol!

Oct 16th, 2013 at 2:43:18 PM PDT by

Very pretty! I too crochet Barbie gowns and I would love to have this pattern.

Oct 16th, 2013 at 12:54:28 PM PDT by

Thank you for the compliment :) That's cool, you crochet Barbie dresses too-there's not a lot of us out there,you know. I am sorry tho, I don't follow patterns very often, except maybe to get the bodice started. This and the several others I have, are my own design. Take care and thanks again!
