Angela Wins Double Reserve In Show at San Jose

At the SCCRCS show weekend at San Jose, there are 5 open shows.  Wool breeds did well.  

In the winning order, we are posting the wool breeds winning Best In Show and Reserve In Show winners in the order of their wins.

The French Angora gets one of the top wins first.   Angela the pretty French Angora chestnut doe won the Reserve In Show in show A, awarded by judge Doug King.   Mama Carol is very happy. 

Judge Doug King is making the final decision.  He announces that three rabbits are on the top in his mind: Holland Lop, French Angora and English Angora.   

In show C, Angela again wins the Reserve In Show, awarded by judge Jordan Miner.

Judge Jordan goes over Angela on the Best In Show table.

The top two rabbits on judge Jordan's list are the English Angora and French Angora.   It is rare that the top two are both Angoras but such has happened quite a few times in the past.

Found on the Net: Izzy Bunnies, Part 2

 

Found this drawing of a basic Izzy dolls plan.

By using this basic drawing, the plan is modified into a girl doll.

Using the same basic plan, a bunny? a sheep? 

All these Izzy bunnies are just adorable, I am very impressed with them and plan to learn to make them.

These Izzy bunnies are very cute, look like newborns.

 

Found on the Net: Izzy Dolls, Part 1

Saw lots of photos of these knitted dolls.   After a bit of research, I learned that these are called Izzy Dolls.  They are supposed to be very easy to make, knitted in one piece either in round or flat then sew into doll shape.   

There are lots of patterns for sale, but this one is shared on the net as a basic free pattern.

From another net page, I found the instructions of how to sew the doll together.

You can modify the pattern into different colors and shapes, with different shape of hats.  Also the basic pattern can be modified into Izzy Bunnies!   Stay tuned.....
