Two girls

Aurelia and Amelia

The two girls that came home with me from Oregon are undergoing a few last adjustments.

Amelia

Amelia is patiently waiting – she came home with pieces of lumber in a zip-lock bag so her legs had to get roughed out, pegged, trimmed, painted and attached with elastic, but…. they are nearly done now!

Aurelia

…but Aurelia is ready to go!

Thanks to a Hitty friend for the marvelous dress that arrived in the mail today – it suits Aurelia perfectly!

Amelia and Aurelia look to be great companions to the burgeoning QH household. You did a great job on them.

They are beautiful with so much character. Your carving is increasingly skillful though that seemed impossible after Grainne.

  Thank you very much… I had LOTS of help and encouragement from my helpful and encouraging teachers, especially with Aurelia’s mouth!

Amelia and Aurelia are enchanting! And so is Aurelia’s hedgehog friend! The QH cupboard seems to have become a Tiggywinkle sanctuary! I love that!

  Thank you – the girls are happy you like them and are looking forward to adventures near and far!
  We’ve always liked hedgehogs 🙂 this one is a plastic eraser, but we thought he would make a good model for a carved one!

What wonderful Hittys. They are both adorable. I love Amelia’s smile. She looks so happy and seems contented knowing that her human (who carved her with obvious love) will make her mobile as soon as she is able. Aurelia, is just as delightful… her sweet face, hair and side part… the little textile and yarn dress that your friend made for her is brilliant. The color’s compliment her wood tone and hair. Two sweethearts for sure.

  They are going to have fun, both with us, and afar, and the Quimper Hittys are happy to call them sisters!
