“And now that you don't have to be perfect, you can be good.”
John Steinbeck
It's no secret that I love matryoshka dolls. I seriously love them. This year's ornaments for the girls are handmade felt matryoshka dolls with embroidery. They turned out darling! I feel like each one clearly represents the child it belongs to. It took a little while to make them, but it was worth it. Holly loves playing with hers! I'd like to make some for Conor and I, but that's being thrown onto next year's pile. Whew, next year's pile is becoming huge!
Tutorial here.
They turned out so cute!!! And the girls obviously love them! Adorable!
I love how Greta and Holly these are. Very cute.
I LOVE those!! You are so talented. I wish I had more time and more patience - I love your projects
Holly was so eager to show us her doll and Greta’s on skype- she is completely tickled about them, clearly. Good for you to admit to and start a ‘next year’ pile of projects. So much smarter than working yourself to a nub trying to complete the impossible!
