Meet Gustaf!

Available on Dollectable 

Gustaf is single and looking!  He's a handsome young imp, desperately seeking a friend for life.  Must love pets and bugs, enjoy eating ice cream and not-so-long walks in his magical forest.  He'd rather sit with you on top of the highest tree to see the sunset, catching fireflies for you to guide your way home. 

Farewell, Gustaf!

Sweet Moss

Little Moss is missing his friend Gustaf, who left for his permanent home yesterday.

Coming soon, Elvin

Elvin's alpaca dreads are unbelievably soft!

Needle Felting with Milo

Meet Milo...a sweet, sensitive boy that I have the privilege of working with almost everyday!  His mama is one crafty lady, and he seems to be following in her footsteps.  Today he's using the needle felting machine to create a special gift for her.

Gustav the Imp is getting fitted for his Shloopy Pants. I'm getting requests in every direction for real, human adult sizes, haha.

Baby Boy Doll - Recreating a timeless pattern

Can't forget the socks!
