A handcrafted doll, such as the yarn doll in this article, is formed from leftover pieces of cloth, buttons, string and other craft materials. A yarn doll design can be customized for children of any age and can also be created in a group setting. A yarn doll can also be crafted in as short as 20 to 30 minutes, making it an ideal project to attempt during a Girl Scouts troop meeting or Sunday school class. Kids will have a great time making their own one-of-a-kind doll. Creating a doll is a quick, entertaining and inexpensive craft.

Did you all see the yellow one with a blue bicycle and the word "bike" on it? Magda actually took into account the dogs' love of parking meters by asking us to the darker colors on the bottom.

I just got back in from a run that I purposely went on over to see them on Montague Street and of course - some dog owner was allowing their animal to pee on one of them. These are beautiful.
