Ava wanted to see the beach one last time before she travels home into the snow. She also found some shells she will bring home to her new family.
Bye, bye, honey! Maybe you find your trade sister on the way 😉

Every once in a while something miraculous happens. You meet someone in online world who you click with and come to appreciate their every contribution, sharing and being.
One of these beautiful people to me is Julie of “Inviting Play”. She is a incredibly talented doll maker who brings her dolls to life in the most playful and creative way. Her dolls carry some very special magic in them and no wonder her dolls are so highly sought after and desirable.
I got very very lucky. I got to make a doll for her and she made me one in return. Today we are planning the big reveal where we show each other the little beings we made for each other. I am so so incredibly excited and so happy to be welcoming one of her dolls in our home soon.
This is Ava. She wants to go live with Julie and her family. She is a very cheeky and adventurous little one but she is also a bit shy. She hides her shyness behind being cheeky sometimes. I wish I could travel with her. Maybe one day…?

This tall 18″ beauty is going to fly home to join her sister soon.
I really like working on the big dolls but I also am looking forward to making some 8″ dollies soon 🙂

Today I uploaded some turtles in my Etsy shop. Aren’t they so cute?

I had the pleasure to make a Dorothy doll for a friend. And she came to pick her up from the island in person. She also is a professional photographer over at Sarah Rickard Photography and I watched her take adorable pictures of the dolly and I hope I learned something 🙂
