I do hope poor Patience is afforded a nap this afternoon…perhaps a kind Tamino will string her a hammock in the Pea Forest, where the leaves can shade her weary head and the pleasant rustle of a breeze can lull her to sleep.
I think a nap in the pea forest might be quite refreshing – I’ll suggest it!
You have created an outstanding scenario and luscious dolls to go with it all. Is it possible to see a closer view of that top, velvety looking quilt on the royal bed? Your pictures are so rich in color looking.
The Velvet and brocade crazy quilt was made by Textile Artisan Mary Brownscombe as a special order…it is one of the Hittys’ favourite quilts!
OH, MY GOODNESS!!!! You never cease to astound me. What a great story line…” The Princess and the Pea”. Just Great.
With a Prince in the cupboard, and also some peas, and many Hitty quilts, it seemed a logical thing to do! We are glad you were amused!
Such a luscious crazy quilt. I remember when you made the delicate bed curtains. I so enjoy the continuing stories. They add a touch of magic to my days. Kathleen
Thanks very much! The Hittys don’t get a chance to use the state bed very often…but the love it when they do! Continuing stories are fun…I always think of the Hitty Cupboard as busy even if I don’t capture the moment!
what a stack of wonderful quilts and that pillow and pillow roll on the floor are beautiful! The Quimper Hittys have quite a lovely collection. I do not blame Patience for fearing a tumble.. Her night gown and cap are so pretty.
The quilts have accumulated! I just love making them, and the Hittys even have a few special gifts from friends!
