If you want a doll, now is the time to get one. I don’t make them often, so having this number of dolls in the shop at one time is a one off. Oh and did I say I’m selling the older dolls for a very low price of £20 each? Yep, thats insane, but the dolls need homes, I can’t keep them all.

Bang Bang
When I made the cowboy outfit for MLCD (My little crochet doll) I pondered whether it was right. Should I be making dolls that typically carry guns?

There are a lot of mermaid dolls out there at the moment, most of which have the tail sewn as part of the body.

Normally IContinue reading “My Little Crochet Doll – Mermaid”
