(crafting...)



...at the Teeny Tiny Cabin today...
More progress was made on a few of the peg dollies.
I need to work on the very looong arms.

ETA for Utah Grammie:
These are the supplies used to make the peg dollies.
The pegs are about $1.79 (pkg of 20), the stands are $1.39 (pkg of 20) and the heads...I forget the cost of those. I snatch them up when I see them. The size I use seems to be popular.
I have done some out of dollar store pegs and they look sweet with their little ballet shoe looking feet. They hang on the tree just fine.
The hubs helps me with fitting the heads to the pegs. Takes a bit of whittling. He also drills the hole through them for the pipe cleaner arms and the little screw eyes into the tops of the heads before I paint.
They are time intensive more than anything.
If you decide to try them, let me know so that I can come by for a peek.
