Some New Faces

Little Ireland

Cuddly Giselle




I just added these cuties to the shop. 

 I've had a bit of a bummer week. I won't
go into all the boring details but it's been challenging. 
The latest riff is that my PC bit the dust 
(which is never a good thing) but to make things
worse, my back up lap-top is now struggling.

It's a good thing these little girls bring so much joy to my day. I woke
 up today with a new appreciation for the simpler things:
 fabric, needle and thread.

Please bear with me while I figure out a solution. 

I hope your week is filled with nothing by healthy, happy moments 
and no technological disasters...heehe

International Inspiration

Beautiful and picturesque China - it seems a world away

I've always been fascinated by Chinese dress and culture

I found these sweet illustrations on line.



...and then there's my doll.  I think little 'h' turned out pretty cute.

I've been wanting to create more dolls with international flare.  
 I was so  excited when asked to create a little doll for Hadley.
 Modern but still capturing her Chinese heritage.

Little Birdie...How I've Missed You!

My original 'Belle the Blue Bird' design
A new little pillow just for Sweet Emma
All done!




It's been way to long since I've been able to create
a custom pillow.  

It was such a nice reprieve working on this special one
for a dear customer.  She's welcoming a new little girl
into her life. A little sister for Landon. They wanted to 
use the same baby bedding, so she asked me to create
a girly pillow just for her precious little Emma.

I used some of the original fabrics but threw in some
adorable 'girly' prints.
