the hunt

April is taking a brief break from sucking this weekend. I’m not counting chickens but am grateful. Also grateful for my sweet friend Carol and my cute new chick shack.

pocket dolls

I bought these Joan Walsh Anglund pocket dolls on ebay a while back. Aren’t they so cute! I’ve wanted to try the stretchy sock round headed dolls for a while. Oh wait, Pixie is sort of like this. But these dolls have some sort of styrofoam ball inside the head that makes it firm. They’re are a few doll patterns like this in Japanese craft books. They have little drawings of ball + stuffing >> fabric = doll. That’s about the extent of the explanation. I think I have a styrofoam ball around here somewhere….

all stitched up and ready to go

The Book Club is complete! These last two are snuggled close together enjoying a book in their favorite chair. These little readers have been so much fun to stitch up. I almost feel like I want to do another nine. And I'm excited to get started on their quilt. I'm thinking it'd be a cute birthday present for Junebaby. I've got it all sketched out. Now I just need to figure out how to make it work.

So set no. 3 is done and up in the shop. As I mentioned before if you ordered the first two sets then this one is free. I've emailed the download to those who ordered one and two together but if you ordered them separately please email me and I'll send it along. And there's an all 3 option in the shop as well.
