Edith Blue Dolls

 These lovely little girls are by an English company called Edith Blue Dolls.  They are made by a couple of very creative ladies called Gilly and Jill deep in the English countryside in Woodbridge in Suffolk.  They work in a log cabin in the woods surrounded by a wild flower meadow - sounds heavenly.

Having followed creative pathways they decided to work together and began making small dolls for fun.  These became bigger and more detailed and they had such a good time Edith Blue Dolls was born.

I love the detail, the Liberty prints and little knitted accessories.  I adore the slightly off centre faces that are so delicately embroidered and the fligh away hair.  Just lovely to look at and I am again covetous of one of their girls.

If you want a peak at their Etsy shop it is at EdithBlueDolls all one word and is well worth a look. I fell in love with this little lady in Liberty Lawn with the fair hair but there are red heads and other styles to look at.  Really like the idea of wool stuffing and the plastic free packaging, a great little English company.

New Mara Mouse

 Little Mouse Mara has just been posted off to Saint Paul, Minnesota so I thought I would share her with you.

She is a tiny girl with bead eyes and a crochet daisy on her sachet.  She is dressed in a lovely Liberty Lawn called Wildflower, which is my absolute favourite fabric to use.  She as little leather ears and a leather tail to match. Her nose, mouth and whiskers are all hand embroidered.

I love making these little girls they take around three to four hours to make and making a couple in a day is very satisfying!  I hope you like her. xx
