Woodland Elf Patterns now Available

Just a quick note to let you all know that the Woodland Elf patterns are now available in my shop!  Yay!  I'm so excited about these and I'm so glad they're finally ready for all of you who have asked for them!


This little sweetheart is completely hand sewn and made from hand woven wool felt. Her sweet face is hand embroidered and her hair is needle felted onto her head.

She wears a pretty dress and fold over boots that are embellished with tiny beads and embroidery. A beaded crown completes her outfit.

Happy week everyone!

Eleanor and Prudence

Eleanor and Prudence have been sitting in a box filled with pretty fabrics for the longest time!  Well, I should say that their bodies were all made up, but I was saving them for a special idea.  Finally, this week, I dug them out of their cozy home and began their transformation. 


This is how they turned out!  Eleanor, above left, with Prudence on the right - named of course after two of my favourite Beatles songs!


Each little doll measures about 5 inches tall and is made from unbleached muslin.  I made their little 'button' eyes out of paper clay and then painted them black.  Their dresses are made from Japanese cotton and I've added a teeny beaded apron for each.


Pinning on their hair.


Little baldies:)

These tiny rag-dolls are available for adoption in my shop and would make wonderful friends for a bigger doll.

Wishing you a creative weekend:)
