Petra, a cloth doll

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 12:00:27 -0500

$48.00
Pretty Petra. Beneath that cool exterior lies a wild child just dying to get out! She's sweet and demure but don't be fooled she can also get up to mischief and is loads of fun.

Petra is wearing a retro A-line dress which is embellished with a handmade ceramic button. The dress is a wee bit big but her Granny made it' "she'll get more wear out of it that way" Granny said. Petra loves her Granny, almost as much as she loves polka dots.

She is made from soft cotton fabric and stuff with pure bamboo fiber. Bamboo is an amazing material. It is pure white, super soft, dense and adds a bit of weight. Also, it's eco friendly! Her face is embroidered with cotton and silk thread and her luxurious wavy hair is pure soft wool.

She is just over 12 inches tall.

All of my dolls are individual and unplanned. Each one starts with a pattern made by me then they sort of happen organically in my hands and become who they are. They are meant to be played with, snuggled and enjoyed by children (grown up kids too!). Their hair can be styled and their clothes are removable and washable.

I hope she brings you a lifetime of love.

She is made from creamy colored cotton and stuffed with bamboo fiber. Bamboo fiber is an amazing material. It is pure white, incredibly soft, eco friendly, dense and slightly weighty.
Her face is embroidered with cotton thread and her luxurious hair is made from pure wool.

She is a little over 12 inches tall.

This is Georgina, Georgie for short.
She a gorgeous red head with just the lightest smattering of freckles across the bridge of her nose. Don't believe a word they say about red heads and temper and all that nonsense because Georgie is a kind and gentle soul who just wants to be cuddled. She also looks adorable in pink though she is wearing a flattering green today.

She is made from cotton and stuffed with a blend of sheep's wool and eco friendly bamboo fiber. If you have never seen bamboo fiber, it's amazing stuff. It is pure white, incredibly soft but also sturdy and adds a bit of weight.

She is a little over 12 inches tall.

Her hair is pure wool and her eyes are cotton and her nose and pink lips are silk.

She wears a dress that is upcycled from a vintage (1960's) top which my daughter out grew. The skirt of her dress is two layers with green netting on the inside for extra girliness.

Pink Raspberry Rabbit

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 12:00:26 -0500

$13.50
This juicy little pink raspberry rabbit is the perfect size for little hands. She is made from wool blend felt, cotton embroidery thread and is stuffed with pure sheep's wool. Her fuzzy bunny tail has been needle felted from the same wool.

She wears a jaunty bow around her neck, just right for an evening nibbling the veggie patch.

The wool that fills this little gal was collected by me on a trip to the beautiful Scottish island of Colonsay. Upon noticing a whole lot of sheep around I figured "where there's sheep, there's wool!"
So I enquired at the general store (the only store in fact!) and low and behold and hour later a farmer bearing fleece showed up at our cottage door.
I wash and hand card the wool myself.
