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.

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!

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!
