Thanks for your nice words about the Marmalade cat doll. I got quite enthusiastic about the lilac/blue cat after that last one, and so now - three more. All made from wool flannel, two boys (one with a favorite Liberty print as a tie) and a wee girl with a lined wool cape. They've all gone straight into the shop this afternoon.
With them, a couple of rabbit dolls. Moira, in green and Bernadette above. Bernadette started out life as Bernard, but he just wasn't doing it for me. Turns out he was supposed to be a she all along (I'll pack the tie and short trousers in with her just in case there's a change of heart).
It's taken me weeks to get these together. It's been so cold here I'm having trouble dragging myself to the sewing machine at night. Henry is having an extra long sleep this afternoon, though, and my hands are almost thawed out so I'm off to cut out giraffes while the going is good.
Edited to add: Sorry to my mailing list if you didn't receive the message I sent about this shop update earlier today. Problems with list management site. Think I'm going to have to try another way...
