Happy New Year! This year will see a few changes to Aunt Polly's Doll Emporium, while there will still be some of the old favourites available, I will be concentrating on developing new doll patterns, quilt kits and some extra special art dolls...

Hmmm, haven't blogged in quite a while... it's been an extremely busy year! I'm hoping that next year will see me a little better organised  and maybe I'll even get a few days off... I can only hope!

chick, chick, chicken

And another cutie with her pet chicken, though she's going to need to hang on to it... looks like that chicken is leaving...

Wedding Day...

Been a little quiet on here lately, but I do have a good excuse.... I've been so busy preparing for my daughter's wedding. And what a beautiful wedding it was! I now have loads of happy memories to cherish and normal service will resume with lots of new dolls on the way!

By the sea

Couldn't resist trying a couple of seascapes, it's amazing how with just a few colour changes you can change the whole atmosphere within a picture....

Scrap heaven...

Found a great way to use up my fabric scraps... been experimenting with these cute picture cushions... they're rather addictive to make...

 

Hare Raising...

It must seem a little strange to have these in the oven, but it's all part of the process! These calico hares have been stained with a coffee and spices mixture, then dried in the oven before having their button eyes, stitched noses and hanging loops added.

Shhhh...

My answer to the many requests for a doll suitable for little ones! This sleeping baby is quick and easy to make with no 'bits' that can come off and be swallowed! He's now available as a pattern in my Etsy shop.

Easter

Can't believe it's almost Easter... where is spring? Next week sees the annual Easter craft fair at Water's edge visitor centre... I have lots of new designs ready for this one!
