I really should be cleaning the house but...
Lookie here!!! Aren't these eye-popping gorgeous?
The wonderful fabrics came in this bundle of goodness, from my dear friend Ruth at Sew Love Fabrics.
Jennifer Paganelli´s new Poodle line is looking so fresh.
These pretties from Laura Gunn above are from her newest collection, Poppy. I didn't expect to make any of these fabrics into dolls, but somehow I did. The colors and designs on these fabrics are gorgeous and the hint of fall in the air lately has made these rust colors appealing to me.
Laura has a wonderful touch with her work, and these fabrics are such a pleasure to work with.
Each of these little sweethearts listed here from front to back: Fru Anderssen, Fru Gress, Fru Turkis, and Fru Stavanger (so sorry, Fru Stavanger is already sold) are in my shop now.
Oh, dear, I couldn't forget Fru Rosenrødt! Here she is in the front, with the fresh roses of the season to pretty her up. We are trying to tidy and pretty up the house today for our special guest arriving tomorrow! How does one tidy up the house when it is raining out and the children are so busy with one project after another all over the house? Good thing my mother will be too excited to see us to think about how clean it is here.
These new dolls are so earthy and beautiful. And I can't wait to see what you do with the Poodle fabric. Fun stuff!
Have a wonderful time with your mom. I know she will forgive you a little clutter and disorganization. Relax and enjoy yourself.

I, too, love Laura Gunn's poppy series. I already have plans for them - they look great used for the dolls, the positioning of the motifs is just right - makes it work for the dolls. Carolina
P.S. The house can get cleaned mañana

This certainly beats cleaning the house! These fabrics are so beautiful, and as always, so are your dolls.

Gorgeous dolls as always, - what beautiful fabrics too! And trust me: WE ( as in mothers/grand-ditto ) do NOT look at housework etc seeing the precious loved ones!

These Matroushkas look so pretty made up in the Laura Gunn fabric. Love what you've done with her fabrics.
