Summer fruits and new dolls

Tweet

Not a view you want to see in the middle of July... But this is Scotland.

At least I've got summer on my plate! It's time to feast upon summer fruit! Blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries in the morning. Figs, peaches and cherries for lunch. Then you're ready for mango. Finally, we've found out where to get super good mangoes in Glasgow. The Blochairn fruit market is the place to go. 

I'm working on different style dolls. Smaller, with big embroidered anime eyes. It's 17cm (6.5") tall. Definitely more of those are coming. 

This sweet little bear is another new addition to my Etsy shop

Rag Dolls

Rag dolls.
I've been really enjoying making rag dolls recently. Making their clothes, tiny skirts and dresses and knitting chunky cowls. I use recycled fabrics and yarn trying to make them as Earth friendly as possible.

Felt Foxes

Foxes are amazing and beautiful animals. Recently I had the pleasure to meet Fred the Fox in Hessilhead Wildlife Rescue. I've never been so close to a fox in my life and Fred is such a friendly lil fellow. Shame, I didn't take a photo of him, I'll do it next time I'm there.

So inspired by Fred I've made two felt foxes. One is wearing a floral bow, another chunky knitted scarf. They're both like to stay classy in the woods :)

Foxes arrived in my Etsy shop
