With skeletons?
He has 3 Wise Skeletons on his chest. I know that this Day of the Dead with a Christmas theme has a name but I don’t know what it is.
A little skull button to go with the fabric design.
Christmas in June?

Big Blond Man
After I finished the pirates, I’ve been working with dolls that were already in progress. Some of which I sewed up before the move, so 2 years now. It is great to be able to jump in to a project with some of the design decisions already made.
This really is the most amazing fabric! And look; I found a unicorn button in my collection!
And the First Doll of 2025!
I’d been hoping to get this fellow finished before the end of last year but nope: now he is first of 2025.
He is very dark brown. My camera kept washing him out but hopefully these photos will do him justice.
He is tattooed with tropical flora. And an antique button.
Red-Haired Big Man
He is very circus-y.
Very classic toile for this big fellow.
Vintage cotton rickrack, bias tape, and button. Using vintage sewing notions makes me so happy.
And here he is in my studio which is in pretty good shape these days!
A Classic Big Man
In my bin of mostly-finished man dolls, I have a few classics.
Here is a closer look at his toile.
An antique button-
And hanging out in the garden.
One Big Man for now
I’d started this fellow before my show and finally got him done on the weekend. Then I forgot to take his photos. Yes, it has been a bit chaotic around here.
I love these classical tattoos. They always look good.
We have some twins here!
A BIG Merman
I had a bit of excitement here- on Saturday afternoon, after I did my last blog post, my aged (2015 MacBook) and beloved computer bit the dust in a rather exciting fashion involving a pixelated screen, a scritching noise that was getting louder, the computer getting very hot, very quickly. I pulled out the charging cable, turned off the computer, but that was the end of that. So sad, I really liked that machine! Anyway, I was off to buy a new computer first thing yesterday. Thank goodness I was mostly all backed up! And now, here I am, typing on my new friend.
This fellow is larger than my typical merman- I was playing with the pattern and not thinking about how changing his tail would affect the size. Anyway, I think he will look amazing in my booth this weekend.
I found these perfect buttons online: I had to buy some.
It’s a top knot not a man bun
A big man with a top knot.
There he is- George Washington with all kinds of other (I am sure) symbolic imagery that I have no idea how to interpret. And I found this awesome button in my collection. Perfect.
This time, No Skeletons
He is a big man with yellow pants and more classic toile.
Lots of animals, greenery, and a lady on the front,
and a man with a donkey on the back.
I like this new hair fabric I found! And that button came from a tin box that my neighbor gave me.
He is a few little pink spots that come from the dyeing process. Oh well, it’s a true sign of handmade, right?
Big Man Lumberjack
This fine fellow could blend right in in the forest.
Can you see that his beard and hair are made out of a leafy fabric?
This is the last guy for now. I plan to get these last ones into my etsy shop over this weekend.
