Carline
Carline’s finished!
Here is my newly carved Hitty, Carline…
Help Climbing Up
She is carved out of Cherry wood, and was finished on New Year’s Day. She has already appeared in this blog in various states of incompletion…Click the word “Carline” here, or in the categories at the right of the screen to see all the posts with her in it.
Sisters!
Tatty and Carline are certainly sisters – for one thing, they both seem to delight in dashing about wearing nothing but their under wear!
Happy Girl
In August 2015 she packed her belongings and went to another household, where she has the company of Hitty friends, and a lovely Dollhouse to live in.

She’s so cute! I love it when the Hittys have smiles. Happy New Year!
Thank you – I love smiles too – it made me smile when I saw she was going to turn out cute!
Carline is wonderful! Love the outfit
🙂
Thank you…She borrowed the red flannel vest and pantaloons from Tansy!
Lovely work on Carline. You are truly a lovely carver AND painter! as well as textile fashioner extraordinaire. Thanks for such encouragement and inspiration. Carline looks to be well matched to Tatty. May I ask, where did her name come from?
Thank you! Car’line is a name from the book “Hitty” – she is the little girl given Hitty by her brother after he fishes her out of the river…but, this Carline is named after the band my son was on tour with when I first started carving her in the fall – The Carlines. And They are named after the longitudinal pieces of wood in a boat that help to stabilise and support the deck beams.
Very interesting…thank you! Had forgotten about Car’line in the Hitty book.
Carline is delightful! She looks a bit restless but perhaps that is natural when they first get legs. Her and Tatty have a strong family resemblence!
She is certainly ready to dance a jig! I expect she and Tatty will encounter a few incidents together…
Carline has a very sweet, yet mischievous face! She may turn out to be quite a handful to keep up with.
Yes, I predict she will not be very much use in keeping the Half-pints in line.
Carline is absolutely adorable! I look forward to her adventures!
Thanks, me too – I wonder what she and Tatty will get up to?
Oh my isn’t she adorable? You have become such a wonderful carver. I am totally impressed with your talent and imagination. Carline is a total cutie. Also love her unders! I suspect she will be featuring in many adventures and I look forward to seeing and hearing all about her.
I am so grateful to my teachers, encouragers and aiders-and-abettors in the doll-making sphere…this includes all the lovely people who say nice comments on this blog – like you! Carline will no doubt have a fine life here in the Quimper Hitty Cupboard, she can hardly help having fun and adventures when there are fellow Hittys aiding and abetting!
She is wonderful! Love her expression – and her shoes – and her unmentionables! She does exude personality and that is important in a Hitty!
I’m glad you like her Cherry-coloured shoes – a nod to her wood of origin… She is happy in her borrowed under wear – it is cold enough that she needs to wear something while I am making her a little dress. I think she’ll be an amusing and steadying friend to the slightly giddy Tatty.
I love her!!
Me too! Hers was the hardest wood I’ve carved yet, but she turned out so sweet and gentle-looking!
Bravo! She’s adorable!
Thank you, o aider and abettor extraordinaire!
There’s a lot to like about Carline…that intriguing smile and red shoes, particularly…she’ll have the Hitty Cupboard dancing a merry tune, no doubt!
No doubt at all – in fact at this very moment, she is stirring up the Half-pints and they are All requesting clothes!
Both beautiful hittys. What wood are they carved from.
Thank you very much! I am pleased with them both as well – I think they’ll be friends. Tatty is made from Butternut, and Carline is from Cherry.
She’s gorgeous! You should be very proud!
Thank you so much Becca – I am having fun making Hittys! They can be such good company!
