russet and olive girl

I love these colors. They make me think of forest and Autumn.

It was sooooo cold when I went out to take her photos- my hands were numb by the time I finished! She definitely needed her hat and scarf.

I am having so much fun dressing these girls. This awesome girl has a side-buttoning skirt made from scraps from a shirt I made a few years ago. Her shirt is a Liberty lawn and her cardigan is made from a repurposed thrifted sweater.

Her hair made from a wool knit (another repurposed thrifted sweater).

And silk ribbons for a little fancy.

This girl has got it all together and she is off to do her thing. Which happens to maybe? involve a sketch book and pencil that is in her backpack.

Here she is with her things- I took her shirt off so you can see the top part of her “underwear”.

The shirt buttons up the front but it can be hard to see.

little girl with a unicorn dress

These little girls are my most labor-intensive dolls. January is a good time to get back to them, when all the Holiday madness is finished and the cold weather keeps me in the house. This first little one has a lovely double-gauze dress with Heather Ross illustration- Unicorns! ♥

Her sweater is a soft angora blend.Her hair is cashmere knit.

This fellow is made from some crazy toile! Looks pretty standard on first glance…

but I’ve never found another toile bit that had something like this on it- so funny!

I bought the fabric at a vintage/antique store and it was just a sample piece so only one doll.
