Our new little girl finally has a name: Gilly – short for Gillyflower, a pretty flower in the dianthus family. She was carved by me from a Judy Brown blank, and finished in January 2016.
While I was sewing earlier today Gilly ended up on the windowsill poking around in the plant pots. This resulted in a mucky little individual…
Starting with a Judy Brown Bitty Blank, a sweet little bitty Hitty doll is emerging after a couple of days of carving. She should be four inches tall when all done.
A little antique tin dolly bed from my friend the Dollhouse Lady came with an old mattress and coverlet. I decided to refurbish the bed so it could be used by the Quimper Hittys. Usually I retain the original materials without changing their essence, except for possibly wet-cleaning. This time I kept the original mattress materials, washed them (Constance says thank you) and altered them slightly.
