A New Dolly!!

And here she is...."Camille"

I found the embroidered trim whilst rummaging through my stash this morning and I knew it had to be used for a new Matryoshka doll. The trim is VERY vintage - I think I remember having a dress made from it when I was very little!

I made this doll larger than the other ones I have made in the past. The colours are not very "Shabby Cottage" but I thought they went really well with the trim.
She turned out nicely I think!

PS. More on the wreath tomorrow!! It is harder than I thought!!

    Camille is very pretty. I like the colors you chose and the trim is very pretty. I may remember it from my early years. My mom made alot of my dresses.

    I love your blog--and these dolls. I'm a huge pink/green fan, also. I could add to my bedroom decor with all of the pink/green ideas I've seen on your blog.

    I've got to find the matryoshka doll pattern--it is darling!

    Where did you get yours?

    Thanks,

    Ruth

    She isn't very Shabby Cottage, the colors I mean :), but she is very lovely!

    Camille is very cute. Maybe not shabby, but we all need a change from our usual work (and clours) occassionally.
    Hugs,

    Camille is lovely, and I think the fabric is so adorable. I like the turquoise and red. Very cheery. You did such a good job.
