A handsome blondie in a green plaid shirt.
And here he is in his hat.
An eagle on his chest, George Washington on his arms, and an axe on his back.

Lumberjack in a Cowboy Shirt
I do love some buffalo plaid. This is the first time I’ve ever made a fellow in a western/cowboy shirt.
He has a hat too.
Lumberjack #1
Finally, slowly, I am finishing things. With no show dates and slow sales, I am not terribly motivated. Also, I am distracted by the news (a bad way) and the garden (a good way). Let’s get on to these lumberjacks.
He has a cashmere hat in case he’s cold.
Manly chest with tattoos. And an axe on his back.
Greenman 2.0
What a week, what a crazy time we are living in. I am having a very hard time pulling myself away from the news which isn’t helping my anxiety or getting any work done. I think most of us white ladies are trying to figure out ways we can do better and that, for me at least, has involved a lot of reading, listening (mostly on Twitter), and no chiming in of my opinions. As a result I haven’t been posting on the social medias. #Black Lives Matter. I’ve got some things to show you now so I will try to get things back on track.
I made 2 green men dolls in December. One went off to a new home but the other just sat in my shop and every time I looked at it, I could only think that I didn’t like those eyebrows! So, I changed them. I almost never do that- I can think of maybe 2 other times in all my doll-making years? Anyway, I think he looks much better now and he is back in my shop.
I have mostly been working on Lumberjacks.
I will have a finished one to show tomorrow.
Tweedy Pug
This is the last one for now. She is dressed in Autumn colors with a tweedy top. I think she looks like she would be happy partnering up with Miss Marple.
She has a cashmere skirt and wool plaid scarf to stave off any brisk breezes.
Her tail is sticking straight up! I forgot to curl it before I took the photos. There is a pipe cleaner in the tail so it can hold a shape.
Pug in a Suit
He’s looking very sharp isn’t he!
All his body parts are very soft cashmere- I am still using fabrics from my mom’s stash and she loved beige and black cashmere.
Pug in Pastels
Well, the skirt is more of a hot pink than pastel but still pink. She is #4 pug of this litter.
A very soft light pink cashmere shawl and white felt buttons on her aqua wool top.
another Fancy Pug
The pattern on her top is called houndstooth (which is perfect of course) but I think of them as stars.
And a fancy flower pin.
She is beige cashmere and a cashmere knit skirt. The top is wool blend.
Fancy Pug in Aqua
Two pug pals, social distancing.
She is so fancy in her cashmere skirt, houndstooth jacket, and silk hair bow.
Here is a bit of a profile.
Wool felt collar, cuffs, and buttons.
Pug in Plaid
A pug boy in a buffalo plaid shirt. He’s got a belt too.
His body parts (not the shirt) are all cashmere and so so soft. His wool shirt has little french knot “buttons”.
