An Introduction...

Welcome to my new blogspot...and to start, a little about my journey here...

I have a background in costume design and I have been making dolls for many years. My recent creations have been cloth dolls inspired by antique dolls and my family history (another of my favourite pastimes). I also love creating anything with fabric and I'm enjoying experimenting with different styles and designing unique items.

In this blog I will share doll info, tips and tricks that I have learnt over the years and also pics and even a few patterns, so please check back often to see what's new....

By the sea


Couldn't resist trying a couple of seascapes, it's amazing how with just a few colour changes you can change the whole atmosphere within a picture....

Scrap heaven...


Found a great way to use up my fabric scraps... been experimenting with these cute picture cushions... they're rather addictive to make...

Hare Raising...

It must seem a little strange to have these in the oven, but it's all part of the process! These calico hares have been stained with a coffee and spices mixture, then dried in the oven before having their button eyes, stitched noses and hanging loops added.
