A Huge Thank You

 
Can I just say a huge thank you to all of you who have bought dolls or supported me on social media. You are all great and I couldn't do this without you. It has been a really good year and I am looking forward to lots of new dolls next year. I have already bought Spring fabric!
My sale finishes today and I will be shutting the shop until mid January whilst I make new stock and have a break. I have to give my ailing hands a rest!Have a wonderful warm Christmas and a joyful New Year. Sending hugs and warm wishes Carol at Pook's Studio xx

Marmite Mice


 These little midnight Christmas mice were my Marmite mice. Folk either loved them or hated them in equal measure.

Me, I just fell in love with the fabric and just adored the black teamed with the gold silk.
Each had snowflake obsidian to their heart with frankensence in their stuffing. They really stole my heart.
It never ceases to amaze me that you cannot predict what will be popular what not. Sometimes the fabrics I love are just not that well received.
These three were named Aurelie, Aurea and Eurig. One of the ladies that bought Aurea, the little girl in just her dress, regularly orders witches for different events and different seasons or because she has found a great fabric that she loves but they must always have green skin. I love making them and all my commissions. It is so interesting to work with someone else's vision.
Just to let everyone know that the sale is still on with only a few dolls left and that I will be posting out for the last day on 10th of December, when I will shut the shop until mid January.
I really is starting to feel a lot like Christmas which is a good feeling xx
