The Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe


It was a very Nursery Rhyme Fairy Tale themed Christmas gifting season for one set of presents this year. As I've written many times I love toys that link to books. I sent along My First Mother Goose with Humpty and this gift. I thought they'd make the rhymes more fun.

This is an old out of print Michele Wilcox pattern found in an 1988 Annie's Attic pattern booklet called Toy Chest. Annie's has been recently releasing some of their out of print patterns so if I do discover this one I will post a link. After writing up the Humpty blog post I stumbled across the pattern looking for another out of print pattern on their e-pattern site and updated my post to include the link for anyone who might want to make that pattern. You never know when they will reissue an old pattern in digital format.

The challenge of this pattern wasn't the shoe it was completing all the little people. I alternated making little people with finishing other projects. It was the only way to finish everything that needed to get done. It almost became assembly line crochet. Finish a little person, crochet an arm of something else, start .... and return to little person. I did get a remarkable amount of stuff done.

The Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe


I am continuing on my literary present theme and finished the Old Woman Who Lived in the Shoe. I found the pattern in a vintage Annie's Attic publication Toy Chest, 87T61. I love the way the children look a little like the Old Fisher Price Little People and that the windows give them a way to make to move the figures in and out of the house.

This was a great stash busting projects. The peach was actually yarn I had picked up at a Senior Center sale for $.50/skein that I'm also using to make Humpty Dumpty from the same leaflet. I have both sides of Humpty's body done. I sewed together the Polar Bear. I just need to make his hat and he will be finished, too.

With Thanksgiving only a few days away, my Christmas mailing deadline is fast approaching. I'm still hopeful of reaching my goals.
