My Mom and I went to a church rummage sale a few years ago, and I found a vintage Wizard of Oz latch hook rug kit, made by Bucilla. It was just adorable, and only $1.00 or less, so of course we got it. Mom is currently working on it, and should be just about finished with it, if not already. I can't wait to take pictures of it to share with you!
Earlier this week I looked on eBay for more vintage Bucilla kits, focusing on Wizard of Oz, and found a kit to make a Scarecrow doll! It came today, and it had never been opened. Have you seen this kit before?
The instructions seem pretty easy, and I'm hoping he will be a good companion for my Tin Man doll.
Isn't he so sweet? This Tin Man doll was a gift from my Mom a few years ago. She found him at a local vintage shop that was going out of business. There are no tags, so I think he is hand made. The craftsmanship is flawless, and I just adore him. The Scarecrow might be a little bit larger than Tin Man, but I won't be certain until I start assembling him. The kit also boasts, "No embroidery required." But we'll just see about that. There's always need for embroidery, don't you think?
Have a lovely weekend!
xoxo
