Tiny Olivia & Tiny Pearl Handmade Dolls

 


Pears & Pumpkins oh my!

I made three pumpkins (Tiny Olivia) and three pears (Tiny Pearl).    
Please note:  These dolls are much smaller than my regular dolls. Since we've moved into our old house and I've been creating a home, I'm finding "tiny" works better for our home. I hope you like them!

I'm listing them separately because to me, each has their own little personalities/expressions.  

Thank you for following my work and I hope you are staying cool this summer!

Uncle Sam




Hello Everybody!! We've been busy working on the house. I managed to make three Uncle Sams to help ward off the oppressive Summer heat. Each photo is a separate doll.
Uncle Sam is NOT a pattern and is NOT available for copy.
I have been struggling to work on patterns the last few months and then found I was deliberately not making dolls because I didn't feel like making the pattern, so I decided to take a break from making new patterns. As many of you have followed me through the years, I get in this mood. I might start making patterns again and I may not, we'll see. Right now, this girl just wants to have fun ~~cue Cindy Lauper 😃
Thank you for following my work! ♥

Angel Betty

 

Happy New Year!

I hope everyone is doing well!    As many of you know, my husband and I have been working on a 1900's house and finally got moved the last of October.   We still have minor things to finish up.  Taking our time and trying to make it comfortable and feel like home.     It's such a relief to have my own creative space again and not in a tiny corner of an apartment bedroom!  We are loving it here. Angel Betty is my first doll in this new space.   I would like to introduce you to her.

Here is to new beginnings.  May you be happily blessed by good things to come.
Love to you all and thank you for following my work.

Brenda
