Carrot Soup Done
Here is Carrot Soup, finished at last.
Tatty is always happy to welcome a cheerful new friend to the Hitty cupboard.
Carrot soup has reddish, though not carrot coloured hair and green boots. She wants a different dress – this is fuzzy, warm, and autumnal, but it has sunflowers on it. In the meantime, our neighbours picked her a carrot from their very own garden!
Carrot Soup was carved by me from a Paulownia wood blank, except that her feet split off while carving, so they were replaced with yellow cedar…she is impish and cheerful, and seems to like being our Christmas Angel.

She’s so happy! That’s a difficult expression to achieve.
Thank you! Despite the complications in carving her, I am enjoying the result.
Welcome Carrot Soup!!!! Another ray of sunshine into the Cupboard and our lives. That smile will make any day better for all! Bisous from all the girls in Sutton!
Merci beaucoup, nous aimons baisers de poupées. We think she will keep smiling!
If she stands on her head, she will look just like a carrot! Green on top and orange below. I think any doll who pleads for green hair from the outset is going to be quite lively! 😊😊😊
Indeed, she thinks that might be her favourite view of the world! We’ll try to keep up, if not upside-down!
Huzzah! Carrot Soup has sprung into life! She will no doubt be the root of many intriguing adventures emanating from the Hitty Cupboard. (Love that stocky carrot!)
The neighbours planted “round” carrots ! I can’t believe they are still getting fresh carrots from the garden, but glad to be the beneficiaries of their great good luck. I think Carrot Soup, being named after a root vegetable is inclined toward earth tones in her clothing, but will not get up to anything too radicle.
What a happy cutie Carrot Soup is. She’ll surely bring sunshine wherever she goes.
Thank you ! Her sunny nature was in the wood – and that sunflower dress will stay till I find her a carrot-flavoured dress!
She is instantly charming! What a cheerful addition to the Hitty cupboard.
Thanks! She and Tatty seem to have found kindred spirits in one another…I predict great fun (and mess) in the Hitty Cupboard!
What an adorable munchkin! Isn’t it lovely for Tatty to have a special friend now? 🙂
Tatty is very pleased! She has plans and thinks Carrot Soup will be a perfect co-conspirator.
She is definitely a cutie pie! I hope she stays out of trouble, and continues to have fun!
I think fun is in her xylem and phloem – she won’t be able to help having fun…as for trouble though…
Carrot Soup is cute. What a great carrot, and prefect for her, from the neighbors garden !
I just finished a red head myself, and sent her to NY with my friend Judy. Celia C
Your doll looked so pretty in her autumn leaves display. Perhaps it is the season for redheads!
what a sweet wee imp! such a beautiful sparkle in her eyes, a delightful smile and those freckles – she is going to be a handful.
Thank you – I think so too, but it is going to be a fun handful!
She is absolutely adorable! The Quimper Human is superbly talented!! Looking forward to her many adventures!
Thank you (blush) we think she will have fun with us!
She seems like a very happy little girl and with the rest of the Quimper girls, she will have plenty of fun adventures
I think so, and I know the other Hittys will be glad to include her.
