Sunflowers in a red vase. I can’t stop making these ladies!






Doesn’t she look like a goddess? She wears the ocean!

Lots and lots of fish-

And detail pics-



Back view-



I am enjoying playing with vase ideas. There will be more :-)


The pot-

and the flowers-


Fancy purple boot.
And here she is on the couch where I sit her to give her a good look before photographing. I sometimes think I’m finished but when I bring the piece out of my studio and take a good long look, I realize that it needs more work. Luckily that didn’t happen this time.

And another of her, lounging around.

I got some vaccinations last Thursday (Covid and RSV) and wow, they knocked me down. As a result, this lady has taken me many days of small amounts of stitching. I am still feeling off but keeping my fingers crossed to feel 100% again soon.

She is a very colorful lady with all her butterflies.


All different kinds of butterflies. It reminds me of the butterfly garden at the Chicago Botanic Garden where you are surrounded by all sorts of flitting colors!

These are fantasy butterflies, not based on any actual real life ones.

Her little shoes-


She has a bun in her copper-colored hair.


More Kitty love!

She has some curl in her hair, a scalloped collar, and a jewel button at her neck.



She has red laces in her boots.




Lots of flowers attract lots of butterflies!



She has flowers all the way around her neckline-

and in her hair.
Cute shoes to match her dress!




A selection of cats on a yellow-green tweedy background. If it was accurate, it’d be covered in cat hair!

She has a bun in the back-





The plant show this past weekend was great fun! I came home with new plants, sore feet, lots of new knowledge. Hope your weekend was terrific too!
This is another gesneriad-inspired lady doll, this time a primulina.




She has little bows on her shoes.



If you know me well, you know that besides needlework, I am very into plants and gardening. I belong to the local Gesneriad Society and we are having our show this weekend. I wanted to make a doll or two for the show. Here is my first one- Miss Sinningia.





My inspiration-



She is the last one for now.

This photo is a little washed out- she has pink skin and green eyes.



She has a scalloped collar on her coat-
