Fall is coming but I am still in a summer flower mood.
Although if I call these dahlias, then they are very seasonal! I have seen loads of Monarch butterflies lately and that makes me very happy.

Blue Flowers and Butterflies
Another Lady, this one in a more muted colorway. Maybe? I mean that turquoise blue POPS!
I really like how the zig-zaggy sweater bits turned into butterfly wings.
Flower Lady Pillow doll 1
Big Flowers! It is dahlia season in my garden and they are beautiful this year! Somehow though, the ones that have thrived are all dark purple but I’m not complaining.
Cashmere knit, wool knit, wool felt, boiled wool, wool boucle- so many different fabrics and textures.
I meant to post her yesterday but I got my flu shot on Friday afternoon and that pretty much knocked me out for 24 hours. Thank goodness I am back to myself again today!
Butterfly Lady pillow doll
Lots of cashmere applique on this lady. Almost all of the embellishments are bits cut from cashmere sweaters. The boucle fabric that her dress is made of was fabric from my Mom’s stash. I will be working through her fabrics for the rest of my life!
Here are a lot of detail shots of the butterflies-
And here she is, sitting with her friend who I will post tomorrow.
Cat Lady pillow doll
The lady with all the cats! She has dark purple hair but it is hard to see in the photos.
All the cats-
Bird Baby
Little birds in a bush on this baby.
I am in nose-to-the-grindstone mode, getting ready for this first in-person show in a very long time. Hopefully that means lots of things getting posted but not much going into the etsy shop.
Butterfly Baby 2
This one was a special request and has green eyes.
I think this baby has a lovely pensive face.
More cashmere applique.
And here are both of these sweet babies!

Cashmere butterflies and flowers- lots to love!
Bright and Beautiful Baby
Often, when I am starting a new group of dolls, I go back to designs I have done previously to get inspired. I used this beautiful lady as an inspiration for this baby. I love how these colors work together.
The applique pieces (flowers and leaves) are all cashmere. So soft!
And here are 2 outside photos- doesn’t this baby look glorious next to the coleus!
Back to work with some swaddled babies
Hi again! I’m back to work on dolls after taking time off to do other life projects. I did a lot of boring stuff but also worked on a quilt top.The top is mostly finished and I plan to do the quilting part after I finish my fall shows (October and November) or maybe after Christmas. Anyway, finally something finished to show you!
