Do you know what is extra-special about her? She is #100 doll for this year!
I gave her a laced-up-in-the-back bodice. Here is a close-up of her hair-
And her gorgeous antique button belt buckle.

2 posts in one day- CRAZY! But, I’m still behind and I like to post things here before I put them in my Etsy shop.
I could iron his ears down but I like them looking so enthusiastic.
Yeah-
trip to Washington, DC
It was great fun to get out of the studio and go down to Washington for a few days. Here we are, packing the last few things to go in the car, early Friday morning. Yes, I’ll be posting photos of all those dolls soon!
Our big excitement on the trip down-
We drive a 1997 Honda Civic so it’s about time! Here is my booth on Saturday morning-
And look who showed up on Sunday- Betz! We’ve been internet friends for years and finally met in real life!
fox and owl
I am back from Washington DC and will continue to post all the pieces that I didn’t get to show you before I left. Some of them found new families and some will go into my Etsy shop in the next few days.
This sweet little girl fox and her owl toy went off to live in Asheville, NC.
She has a book in her other pocket. Her coat has some wonderful antique buttons that I bought at the Sturbridge Vintage and Antique Textile show in May. She has a silk ribbon at her ear.
Her dress is Liberty and perfect for a dressed-up forest girl.
plaid fox with the news
Yes, he has one too.
And he has a cigarette,
and a fantastic vest with tiny buttons,
and a messenger bag with a book in it.
What a guy!
fox girl in blue
This sweet fox girl is special because her clothing is made with gifts from friends. The fantastic mushroom ribbon and the amazing Liberty dress fabric were given to me and I love finding the perfect use for them.
professor fox with newspaper
Yes, I couldn’t help myself!
He has a button-up wool sweater-vest. There is a book in his briefcase.
working on more foxes
I am working like crazy, getting ready for Crafty Bastards next weekend in Washington, DC. As a result, I’ve gotten behind on posting the finished pieces. Here is a sweet girl fox- Liberty of London lawn dress and soft baby wale corduroy jacket. I love the little brass buttons on her jacket.
I think that you can still get discounted tickets to the market next weekend if you click through on that link at the top of the post.
and 2 more fish
These are the last for now.

Step by step. These photos are from my phone- sorry about the bad focus on some.

Step 2- 10 are sewed up and ready to be turned. 7 are bagged and put into the fish bin for later.
Step 3- turned right-side out.
Step 4- stuffed and finished!
And there will be more fish tomorrow!
