Julia s Journal November/December 2015 Dear Journal, Winter is coming quickly! My Mom bought me a new pair of cute winter boots that I can t wait to wear! Then one day I thought Wait a minute! McKenna doesn t have anything cute and warm to wear. So I made a hat and scarf out of an old wool sweater. When it was done I made a yo-yo and hand stitched it on to the hat. Now McKenna is stylish and warm! I think I will write down the instructions so other kids can make some warm winter things for their dolls, too!
