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-
White Kitty with Blue Eyes
She has a blue turtleneck cashmere sweater and an orange skirt with ribbon trim.
Also, a green scarf and a backpack.
How cute is that flower ribbon! A wonderful trim for her Liberty lawn skirt.
This is the last kitty for now. See you soon with something new!
Sweet Black Kitty Girl
I have a soft spot for black cats. Here is my sweet boy Jasper.
And here is an adorable girl that I finished this week.
I made her a little flower for her sweater.
I used more of my 3-hole antique buttons on her cardigan. I am using them up but I always remind myself that it is silly to save them. They are meant to get a new life. They were originally a gift from someone who follows my work and probably came from those long womens kid gloves.
Her dress is Liberty lawn fabric. It is such a perfect weight and pattern scale for little kitties.
Gray Plaid Kitty Fellow
He has a light green corduroy jacket and a linen scarf.
He has an owl vest, a watch on his wrist, and a wallet in his pocket. He is a cool cat.
And now back to the cats
An orange kitty with a black cashmere sweater and a plaid vest. He is an outdoor kind of fellow.
And a profile :-)
He has a wool felt messenger bag with a brass button.
And the other 2 Fish
This’ll be the last of the batch of fish I made for the pop-up- moving on to finishing the cats I started in December.
This one looks almost black but is a very dark green. I got the green and white fabric at an estate sale of a fashion sewist. The houndstooth is at least partially angora- it has that soft fuzziness to it.
2 Fish, Houndstooth and Stripes
The top fish is black, gray, and black and navy stripes. The bottom fish is black and white houndstooth, gray, and white.
The fish are “swimming” on my new (to me) studio love seat. It is so nice to have a comfy place to sit!
