Dolls of the world

Part of my collection of "dolls of the World" that was recently unearthed.

This week in the studio

Well, there was a lot of anticipation over what kind of reaction would happen over the article on Oh! Hello Geelong . Good, is the answer. Thank you Geelong! 

With that in mind...you all should come and have a look at the gorgeous things, right on your doorstep. Christmas is coming, and if you're up for some making on the sewing machine...or my favorite, by hand. Come and see the beautiful vintage American fabrics, that are very tricky to find. Jen gets them, they are in the studio, for sale! The address is over there ->>>>>>> on the side bar.

Getting back to things that I've been doing, here is a peek

spots

ancient American fabrics

embroidery

Feed sack

And, then there is this.  I have come up with this nifty paper fold to create these little "pockets"...I think they're good.

I hand carved the blocks to print the paper myself

And now a little looky at the mess, pretty mess, that's on my table...

Stuff

Quamby

little break...nearly over

I was supposed to be having a break from making things...but I started making these little ladies, and couldn't stop...so these will be my contribution to Christmas cheer.

I also just added this to the Etsy shop
