I was planning on (hoping to) finishing all the girls this week but … didn’t happen. I have finished 3 so far. It was a beautiful day today. Excellent for taking photos. Spring was here. But before I introduce the girls individually, I’ve had some sweet treats this week.
On Tuesday, a wonderful write-up on Turkey Feathers to celebrate the first day of Spring. It made my day! Wednesday was spent at the Flower Show. On Thursday, I went out to Wellesley to see Abby and her show. The show was fantastic- so many pieces! It is always interesting to see a large body of work from one artist. It tells you so much more about what they are doing then seeing just one piece. It is also interesting to see pieces in life that you’ve seen in photos. I realize that there is so much you don’t see in the photos. It was great- if you can get there you won’t be disappointed. Then today, I just found out that I’m here on PlushYou blog!
Now onto girl doll #1. All the girls will have flower name. This is Rose-
She is all wool with a recycled and felted sweater body and and hair. I used black sweater ribbing for her hair- I thought the ribs looked like hair. Her flesh tone is wool knit fabric. She is 20″ tall.
She has rickrack embroidered at her neckline. And, a polka dot tutu-
Here is a side view-
I will post more dolls tomorrow- I’ve run out of steam tonight, after accidentally deleting this post and having to start over- arg!
Gotta love those stockinged legs.
They are absolutely charming!
Adorable, simply adorable.they look so sweet. cannot wait to see the rest.
Hi Mimi

Wow! These girls are really great. I love the redhead especially! I am envious of your Mom’s fabric stash. I have a few pieces of beaded fabric from my Grandma Ruth….hmmmm.
I really really like them.~
They are so special the way you describe them.
