So I’m working on this too….

This is one of those things that I had the brilliant idea to tackle the moment I saw the pattern. But, I bought the pattern the beginning of May and bought the materials in the beginning of June and here it is October. I’ve only completed one of the three pieces. :/

I bought the pattern because my mom was and still is awesome and made my sister and I a lot of Barbie furniture when we were younger. It was amazing! Unfortunately we didn’t realize how awesome they were and how much time my mom put into making them until we were older and I really appreciate it now. I also picked this one because my sister loves to work out. Yes is one of those crazies and I’m a little jealous of the that. I dread working out but I do it.  Anyways, we have nostalgia of our mommy making these, which puts a smile on my face, and practical use because my nieces will use them.

After completing one of them, it is rewarding. Here is the treadmill! Doesn’t look quite like the one in the picture but I think that is because Barbie never used the one in the picture, it was just a photo prop. 🙂

Unfortunately, this is all I have completed of the other two pieces.

But, I think I should be able to complete the needlework soon. I consider the mapping and cutting out of all of the pieces to be the most annoying part of the entire process, second to the actual creation of the 3D object because they remind me of puzzles and I’ve never really enjoyed puzzles. I do enjoy the needlework though. I’ll keep you posted and maybe show the basic needle point stitch and whip stitch as I’m completing these.

Let’s hope I get them finished by Christmas!
