I made these dolls for my bed when I was a young teenager, and again for my daughters, Do you know where to buy the filters? I have been looking for them for years, I met one lady on line how has the pattern but can't remember where she put it, If she finds it I will keep you in mind. I did see a kit for it in a craft catalog, however I am not ready to pay $20.00 for it. Would love to make them for my granddaughters now. I know they would love them. Maybe two heads are better than one and we will find them yet. LOL

Egg Shells Paper towels Spoiled fruit Dryer lint Spoiled Straw Garden Trimmings Shreded Junkmail Alfalfa Meal TeePee rolls with a little bit of teepee on it UCG Yup I have one of those compost bins that used to be a wine barrel. I opened it the other day and whooo it smelled to high hell, plus lots of hairy mold. Well I added some straw and mixed it with a fork instead of turning the barrel. I guess I added too much water or too much green material. I will keep adding paper and the like to try to soak up some of the moisture. Despite all of this it was getting warm but not hot. It's interesting reading what everyone compost. Even the wife is getting all into it. Most of the time she will ask if I want something for the compost and yesterday she even with to a big bix store and bought a small garbage can to sit on the kitchen counter for composting. Larrick

AHHHHHHHHHH....memories! And what a journey it has been! I remember all the things mentioned here. Each time I thought I had another one...someone came up with it. I'm more "hippy" than hippie...LOL! Scarlett, I know the feeling! Those hipster jeans just don't fit right anymore! One thing I did learn to do back in the 60's and didn't see mentioned here were "Christmas Spiders". From the small glass Christmas balls and pipe cleaners, with sequin eyes. They looked like this...of course you've got to remember this one has been around for a good number of years now! LOL..ugly thing, isn't it? With new products and vintage jewerly, they now look more like this example. I made dozens of these every year..and sell most of them these days. We still use the Christmas ornaments like this. I'll never forget the year we decided to make this the family Christmas project! Neither will our 2 daughters! We all had such sore fingers. But, they treasure these ornaments now, and like myself use them every year. Let's not forget Santa and Mrs. Claus made from dish detergent bottles. With the dime store (then Ben Franklin) faces and hands, etc. They are still part of my Santa collection but I don't seem to have a picture of them anywhere in my on line albums. I still make a few of the old things...most often with a bit of a modern twist...using some of the easier to use products. The pasta angel is a good example of evolving pasta art. I do have problems finding the metal thumb tacks used for the candle in these. Someone mentioned the crochet covered clothes hangers. I'm just old fashioned I guess...I still do them. Along with little sachet bags to go with them. I love collecting the old crochet patterns and making stuff from them. These are the vintage pattern projects that I have recently finished. The shaded pansy thread colors are almost impossible to find these days. You can see some of my spiders in this basket...they are not Christmas Spiders. I call them my illusive, almost extinct pansy spiders! I wanted some really pretty silk pansy to put in this basket and couldn't find any...so I used the next best thing. LOL I think I should stop now! I don't think the "old" crafts will be completely lost...they will just evolve. Be Safe, Rach Here is a link that might be useful:

Mary6971 these were made with the milk filters they use on the farms.. not sure about a pattern I think you can google it and find one.. they are put together with yarn My idea of a bed doll is one that when I was a child many many years ago is a model type doll and a dress made that is a big circle and lots of ruffels and very fancy.. she normally would have a big fancy southern type hat and the bodice of the dress is also very fancy..They are sometimes call " Boudoir dolls." here is a web site for the milk filter dolls http://gailsdollpatterns.com/MilkFilterDolls.html

I have been looking for the milk disk doll pattern/disks/photos for years! A very special lady who took care of me made these in pastel colors and they were beautiful! This was in the late 1950's. I would love to make them for other little girls and pass on the craft. If anyone could please send me the pattern/disk info/photos I would be so grateful! send to: Minc073@aol.com

I am looking for a place to buy the dolls. They are
7-1/2 to 8" dolls. I found one at Annie's Attic but they are not the greatest dolls. They are kind of cheap.
