OLD SANTA ORNAMENT FROM 1992

This Santa ornament was originally made as a limited edition for the League of NH Craftsmen in 1992 as part of their several decades long Annual Ornament and long not available. Over all these years I have several people who contact me each year to see if any have turned up for them to buy. None have, but in my clearing out of attic stuff, found enough pieces to make a small number. These are about 3" tall and each Santa has movable arms, one carrying a wooden star and dove, and on his back, a backpack with a wooden Christmas tree. These may be pre-ordered for a late fall delivery. Due to the small production, his price will be $75.

SEWING ACCESSORIES FOR DOLLS

1-1/2" Stork Scissors - $14 each (all sold)

1-1/2" Chatelaine - $18 each (all sold)

3/4" Charm Scissors (pkg of 60) - Many years ago, I bought a small box of tiny brass scissors at the end of a trade show. Even though it was a tiny box, it had several hundred of these tiny scissors, which, all totalled made a seemingly heavy and dense box. At the airport, this little box caused an enormous gathering of security and I was briskly led away and later made to open the box myself while guards stood back in case the bomb they thought it was went off. The end of the story was a lot of laughter at the airport (long before 911). Fast forward many years later after the huge number of tiny scissors had run out, I tried to find more. The search was fruitless and the closest I came was this lot of 60 sew-on charms. I never used them because they did not pass muster for my purposes, but would be good for a scrap booker or other melange type craft.

PRIMITIVE ANIMALS: MY FINISHED SAMPLES AND PATTERNS TO MAKE THEM

I have a small collection of antique primitive cloth animals, but because they are rare, I only have a few - two dogs, two cats, a lamb and one questionable species (dog or rabbit) and a fabulous horse. There is something so straight-to-the-heart about these sweet playthings, often sewn from old coating or other scraps and stuffed with rags or sawdust. Like primitive dolls whose shapes are often pared down to the essentials (keeping in mind that most of these dear things were not made with patterns), it is this naive look that appeals. Most often one finds them in old dirty whites or browns as these coarser weaves were common, so most of mine will also be in these grungy tones. The patterns will inspire you to make them in many types of fabrics, one more endearing than the next. The animals are divided up into two patterns.

LEFTOVER BRAIDED RUGS FROM THE DOLL HOUSE

No display of mine ever happened without a braided rug. One of the defining aspects of my work is the use of color. Braided rugs were always a great way to add that necessary pop of color and to tie together all the other elements. My big doll house and 9 rugs. These were some leftover samples kept in a binder to keep track of the sizes and colors. Sizes below are approximate. Note that Hitty's 6" rug sells for $120 and that there is a huge difference in amount of braids and labor as you get bigger. Prices shown are sale prices.

FASHION DOLL TINY DOLL-SIZE PAPER DOLL


These were the first in a series of tiny paper dolls. This one is my Fashion Doll and is 2-1/2" in her wooden stand. The dolls and clothing have fronts and backs and the dolls themselves are laminated onto wooden backings cut exactly to their shapes. Tiny envelopes come with them to hold their three outfits and accessories plus there is a tiny box to hold all. Although meant to be display items with the clothing left uncut, outfits will fit if cut out. Instructions included and kit has all supplies.

A DEMO QUILT AND PILLOW FROM MY OWN PRINTS

Back in 2002-3 I did a line of 22 fabrics for the quilting industry I called Little Prints. Being a doll maker, my demo models were a doll quilt and outfits all made from the prints and using my Feedsack Doll as the doll. The line sold really well because, guess what? Tiny prints in good colors were then and even more so now, hard to find. It was fun seeing my name in the selvage.

In a long forgotten box, I found the quilt and pillow. The quilt has a tiny bit of fading on the outer border where it was in the light on display for a few years which I have taken into account in the price. It was intended for a doll mattress about 11" wide x 14" long with leftover border to tuck in. Actual size is 15.5" x 17.5". The bed itself is long gone or I would sell it too. The sale price for the quilt and pillow is $65. Sold
