Do you need an original gift for that hard to shop for friend? I can guarantee you your gift recipient does not have this!
Make this DIY Survival Art Doll filled with things you will need if the SHTF. This is the most original doll/plush hacks I’ve ever seen.
*Can’t sew? Use a muslin cloth doll base (super cheap at craft stores or online), or use existing plush.*
The creator of the Survival Art Doll from the blog Stuff You Can’t Have wrote:
Whether earthquake, tornado, terrorist attack, the rapture, or an alien invasion from outer space, you have only to grab your survival doll and run.
Concealed within this innocent-looking, seemingly worthless doll is everything you will need to survive just about anything that could possibly happen.

DIY Crochet Meandering Paw Prints Over the Rainbow Ridge Afghan
Last month I received a private message from a fellow stitcher named Doug Speeckaert. He had been inspired by my Meandering Paw Prints scarf pattern after his cat Snoopy had passed. He wanted to crochet a memory tribute and so he set to work expanding on my scarf pattern. When he sent the picture I asked if he would share his calculations….because I KNEW others would be asking for this. He graciously handed over all of his notes inserted into my pattern!!! So I bring to you my very FIRST collaborative pattern!!!
