Doesn’t she look like a goddess? She wears the ocean!
Lots and lots of fish-

Lady Pillow with a Flower Vase
I am enjoying playing with vase ideas. There will be more :-)
The pot-
and the flowers-
Fancy purple boot.
And here she is on the couch where I sit her to give her a good look before photographing. I sometimes think I’m finished but when I bring the piece out of my studio and take a good long look, I realize that it needs more work. Luckily that didn’t happen this time.
And another of her, lounging around.
I got some vaccinations last Thursday (Covid and RSV) and wow, they knocked me down. As a result, this lady has taken me many days of small amounts of stitching. I am still feeling off but keeping my fingers crossed to feel 100% again soon.
Butterfly Lady
She is a very colorful lady with all her butterflies.
All different kinds of butterflies. It reminds me of the butterfly garden at the Chicago Botanic Garden where you are surrounded by all sorts of flitting colors!
These are fantasy butterflies, not based on any actual real life ones.
Her little shoes-
She has a bun in her copper-colored hair.
Cat Lady 2
More Kitty love!
She has some curl in her hair, a scalloped collar, and a jewel button at her neck.
She has red laces in her boots.
Tropical Garden Lady
Lots of flowers attract lots of butterflies!
She has flowers all the way around her neckline-
and in her hair.
Cute shoes to match her dress!
A Cat Lady Doll
A selection of cats on a yellow-green tweedy background. If it was accurate, it’d be covered in cat hair!
She has a bun in the back-
The plant show this past weekend was great fun! I came home with new plants, sore feet, lots of new knowledge. Hope your weekend was terrific too!
Miss Primulina Lady Doll
This is another gesneriad-inspired lady doll, this time a primulina.
She has little bows on her shoes.
It is time for Lady pillow dolls
If you know me well, you know that besides needlework, I am very into plants and gardening. I belong to the local Gesneriad Society and we are having our show this weekend. I wanted to make a doll or two for the show. Here is my first one- Miss Sinningia.
My inspiration-
And Finally the last 2
February was all about the Tiny Worlds. I made 16 all together. These are the last 2.
One more try at a winery for my California group. I like this one better.
And one last Garden in a very fancy tea cup-
And here is all the “hills” together, except for the one special order that went to it’s new home. I love a group shot!
Now my studio needs a massive cleanup so I will be spending a couple of days doing that.
Two Tropical Islands
These are for all my New England friends who are drowning in snow! Enjoy a little fantasy retreat 😆
