I also managed to finish another piece from the Peter Rabbit story in Cross stitch which I have been doing for ever! Just the last one to do now. Hopefully I'll get that all set up tonight so I can work on it when I have those odd moments! (what odd moments!)

Getting into the swing......
One of the things I have always wanted to do was explore the world of the vintage cloth dolls. This is my first attempt at an Izannah walker type doll, not a lot to show just yet but its a start, next on my list is a Columbian style doll. The doll is sewn and a layer of gesso painted on where the paper clay will go to sculpt the face....my next challenge! no time today but will get to it soon I hope.

Dollmakers make Friends
Many moons ago when I was teaching more regularly, one of my students, Lyn a very talented craftsperson designed a little cross stitch and made up a little kit for everyone. it was delightful and I thought how appropriate it was. I have made so many wonderful friends through the world of dolls. This is not Lyns design but it is very close and the sentiment is the same.
This was another little project I found lurking in the corner of my workroom. Modern dolls are not my favourite reproductions to make but I do admire the work of Dianne Effner and this little baby was really sweet. the cot is trimmed with vintage laces and that was fun to make too.
