Yup. I’ve spent the last couple of days making dolls. And bookmarks. And stuff to go with the dolls. I’m not sure why the urge to make dolls, but here I am, ignoring my ms in favor of stuffing and sewing (which I’m really not good at. Must get sewing machine!) and beads and buttons. Maybe because I finished The Shifter’s Heart and Sanctuary so close together, I just needed a short break from writing. A vacation of sorts.

I put my dolls on Etsy if you’d like to take a look. Some of them, the yarn dolls, are really a piece of cake to make. Especially when compared with the doll I’ve named December, and her doll, Christabel! Here they are:

I made December the little doll named Christabel, and knitted her a crossbody bag that looks sorta like a demented frog, but she likes strange things. You can probably tell that from looking at her big crooked eyes. She’s wearing some jewelry, too.

Anyway, she and Christabel and the yarn dolls will be up on Etsy soon.

And the yarn dolls…

I also made tiny pink girl yarn dolls with purple boy dolls, and I’ll post those as sets. They’re safe for little kids, unlike Ms. December who has beads and all sorts of little kid un-friendly stuff.

Fun fun
