Patriotic Queen Anne Clothespin Doll

The fair month of may is just a few sunrises and gentle breezes away. Spring is meandering by, though there still is a nip of a chill in the air that continues to hold on tightly here in my neck of the woods.


Two summer holidays(Memorial Day and the Fourth of July)inspired me to create this darling doll with a bit of patriotism in mind. I have named her, "Miss Liberty."



She is a wooden Queen Anne Style Clothespin doll that I made. Her wooden hands/arms are gently shaped. Her nose is made of lightly sculpted clay. Her hair is made of flax. You can see it tucked neatly inside her lace bonnet. Her face is painted in acrylics and antiqued for an aged look. She wears a very patriotic attire as she is so proud of this very special holiday along with the Fourth of July.

Isn't she a dandy?

She is up for adoption.

Spun Cotton Victorian Rabbit Easter Ornament

     I  just love the color pink. One can't get too much pink, at least in my opinion. With March's promise of Spring just around the corner, I couldn't wait to putter in some pleasant, perfect, "pinkness." What a better way to showcase this color than by this adorable Spun Cotton Victorian Rabbit carrying a pretty pink parasol.  Looks like she might be attending an afternoon garden party perhaps?  She is up for adoption here:

Spun Cotton Easter Bunny Ornament

The end of February is here. We made it thru winter, though there is still mounds and mountains of snow here in New England. I am hopeful and thinking of Easter, flowers, birdsongs and warmer days. I can't resist the pretty pastels of Spring and was inspired to create this little bunny.

I had such fun fancying this little bunny. I love her frilly dress and petticoats-all things girly. She definitely looks ready for Easter morning.
She decided to hold a daffodil in her hand, heralding Spring's upcoming arrival in a few short weeks.

This little sweetie is waiting adoption and can be found here:

The day for pink and red, chocolates and roses is less than a week away. There are so many ways to show someone you care or admire them. This little darling kitty would make a most delightful gift for the cat lover in your life or a  just a little something special for a friend. She is wearing such a pretty little dress as she is all in pretty reds and pinks. Check out her pink carnation that she is carrying.

Spun Cotton Birthday Girl Ornament

Winter has generously dished out scoops and scoops of snow. Cold winds make it very unfriendly to venture outdoors for very long. It is perfect time to "play" in my box of crafting goodies to see what treasures I can create.

Purple and white tickled my fancy. It made me think of spring and celebrating special occasions. I  love this sweet little scrap face for this spun cotton ornament.  This combination was just perfect for this Victorian style little spun cotton doll. Look at her sweater. It is made of soft cotton batting.

She is up for adoption and would make a wonderful addition to any feather tree décor. It appears that she is ready to give a special birthday gift to someone. I wonder to whom it will go to?

Spun Cotton Valentine's Day Boy Ornament

It is a cold, wet and dreary day here in New England. It is perfect day to start thinking of Valentine's Day, which is nearly a month away. Gosh time does fly. It seems like only yesterday we were unwrapping Christmas gifts.
I have a lovely lad up for adoption on my etsy shop. He is just perfect for Valentine's Day!
Isn't he just darling?!

Cotton Batting Spun Cotton Belsnickle Ornaments

Tis the season where there is a chill in the air, a happy hurry in one's step, sounds of Christmas carols and cocoa being enjoyed by the hearth. Mantles, and trees adorn homes large and  small. Whether big or small those precious trees are adorned with special baubles and ornaments that evoke special memories.

I have happily added two more charming Belsnickle/Father Christmas Ornaments to my Etsy shop. Both are charming in their own way.
