  • Blue work. 
With lovely old cloth from @srithreads
  • Meet Mrs. Spots, a dear old friend of Mr. Socks.
  • You can make a songbird with me in LA too (April 5th). I’m bringing everything you need (lots of interesting fabric). You don’t even have to get dressed that day if you don’t feel like it, you could come in your pajamas. Learn to make a bird and give it “birdness" and there will be snacks and delicious lunch (so delicious).
  • Spongy and irregular. That’s what I’m looking for, in mushrooms anyway. 
PS - come make strange specimens with me in LA in April with @frenchgeneral !
  • Pink! For the day. 💕
  • Weather! Has come to tiny doll world.

come say hi
