Getting Creative

In addition to knitting and home improvement, my sabbatical has me thinking of ways to save money, so for Christmas I made the girls presents for their American Girl dolls. Kaya got a Teepee and Ivy got gymnastic equipment (uneven parallel bars, beam, vault, and mats).

This is the American Girl version at $125.00, not too different, but mine is bigger so Kaya can actually play in there. The $9.00 I spent on material and $6.00 on leather cord were well worth it!

Ivy practices on her beam (I think that's an ace bandage on her leg)!
Here is the one they sold online. It has been retired but I found it on Amazon for $170! Mine isn't as professional but for the $20 bucks I spent on materials, I say, "Who cares!"
