Hooray for Friday!

Another toasty day in L.A. I’m in my workshop examining felt samples, cutting yarn hair (and keeping track for pattern writing), looking at fabric pens online and trying to keep cool with coconut sorbet and iced tea.

Here’s another Lucy doll. I think I’ve perfected the cheeks, finally. I really love this vintage print I used for her dress, don’t you? I’m also planning another doll pattern, Lucy’s sister: one you can dress up. (Of course, she’ll have her knickers on!)

OK, time for a late lunch. Have a great weekend!

Some Random Things for Tuesday

Here’s my latest Lucy doll – sans arms. (This Depression-era reproduction fabric is my current favorite from my stash.)

And here’s Spoo Kee getting a steam facial from our portable dishwasher. This is a ritual for him. Spoo suffers from sinus congestion and he’s discovered the warm steam helps him feel better. (At least I like to think this is why he does it; that would also mean he’s crazy smart to make that connection!)

Sometimes he’ll even rest his head on the open door. Too funny.

Hot weather + hectic weeks have made making friends for Lucy a wee bit difficult but not impossible; luckily dolls are very patient. But I suppose you have no choice when you don’t have arms or a painted-in face. Oh, and your little midi collar (or shawl, I can’t decide) is missing.

SPEAKING OF SHAWLS, I plan to make at least one chicken shawl for my friend Kara’s new chickens!! I’m head over heels excited for her and even a little envious because how could you not want your very own chickens?

Have a good Wednesday, dears!
