Doll #3

I’m really pleased that my work has been selected for the Morphe II soft toy exhibit. I created the Cube Zoo with Morphe in mind and I’m so happy that Carly liked my little lions enough to include them in this fantastic show. Do I get to call myself an artist now?

I finished a third doll during nap time today (everyone is taking a nice long nap right now – thank god for the summer sun and the pool!). Two of these dolls will be off next week to Seattle for Plush You, I just have to choose which ones I’m willing to let go. I like making these dolls because each one requires four different prints and a vintage button. I get so much joy from sorting through my big bins and matching fabrics together, especially when I use up a tiny scrap of treasured fabric that I’ve held onto for years even though it is so small .

On a totally different topic, my sometimes difficult but seriously funny two-year-old got her first haircut last week.

Roxy has long curly hair and it had gotten so long and so scraggly that it really needed a trim. I took her to see Lori, my hairdresser at Hair West here, who did a great job.

It really brought tears to my eyes to see my little baby sitting up on the salon chair with clips in her hair like a little woman. Oh my.

Have a good weekend everyone!
