*SOLD* Miss July is feeling very patriotic in her red, white, and blue wardrobe.

There is wire inside the flag so it will bend into position. She is wearing a small bonnet. Her face is hand stitched with cotton thread. Created to look old, she is wearing a few endearing frayed spots as well. The stitching that you can see has all been done by hand, including all the hems on her neckline, sleeves, dress bottom, the gathering around the waistline, and her bonnet.

A cloth doll named “Providence”

It doesn’t get much sweeter than this. Let me introduce you to Providence; such a big name for such a tiny little doll. She’s barely 8 inches tall. My favorite part of creating cloth dolls is the aging process and I don’t just mean the fabric. Creases and folds, worn out edges, and precious wrinkles all intentionally made for charm’s sake. Providence has it all. She is wearing a cotton reproduction fabric dress with a high waist and gathered neckline and sleeves. Her softness comes from being stuffed with local carded wool. Could she be any cuter with hair? No. So I didn’t give her any, just like many antique dolls before her. Her face was marked with a pencil. Her arms tilt forward. Doll and dress seams are machine stitched. All visible stitching is done thoughtfully by hand. The price is $45 and includes shipping. Providence will be wrapped gently and sent out straight away to your home. She was made in my pet and smoke free studio.

Velvet Heart Doll

This very special doll holds a token of love made out of old red velvet. The velvet is worn a bit adding to its charm and is wonderful prim red color. It is stuffed with wool so it can be used as a pin keep if you are a stitcher. The rag doll is made from hand-dyed linen, stuffed with wool, and aged appropriately. She's wearing a dress made from all cotton reproduction fabric. The visible stitching on the dress is barely visible with very tiny hand stitches done with great care. There is a combination of hand and machine stitching in the construction of the doll and dress. Her sweet face is hand drawn with an old fashioned pencil. Her hair is fashioned from a hand-dyed piece of twill tape. A loop on her back allows for hanging on a wall or she bends for proper sitting. Her height is 10 inches tall. Kindly asking $60 and $5 for shipping.

Snow Angel

What’s a snowfall without a snow angel to mark the event? I’ve made my own version of a snow angel out of hand dyed cotton fabric and stitched in all the details freehand with prim stitches, even a heart for all the love included. Wings are made from dyed cotton batting that has been stiffened. The halo is made from rusty wire. Perfect for adding to a garland or to hang from a hook with greens, and of course a wonderful ornament for the Christmas tree. There is a hanging loop which is about 2.5 inches. The snow angel measures 6 inches long, not including the halo and hanging loop. Kindly asking $20 with an extra $4 added for shipping from my house to yours.

Ticking winged angel

Looking like she just got discovered in a long forgotten attic, let me tell you about this prim little angel. Her rag stuffing gives her the perfect old feel. Her face and hair are simply stitched by hand with cotton thread. Wings made from old ticking (the stiff kind) and her rusty halo keep her heavenly while wearing a plaid homespun dress accented with 2 buttons. I’ve included a hanging loop. Here and there she has a few scuffs on her fabric which add to her perfect primness. She measures about 10 inches tall without her halo. She’s made by me from my own sketches. Kindly asking $40 with an extra $4 added for shipping from my house to yours.
