Dad makes little wooden Kokeshi Dolls and when he said he was making a fresh batch I was excited. He must have realised I was hinting, so on Saturday when Mum and Dad visited to help on the house he presented me with a little package. What could be inside? Not one, but 4 beautiful little Kokeshi dolls in pretty colours just for me! He usually makes them in reds, bottle greens etc.. but I guess he thought I would like the "girly" ones. He was right! Aren't the gorgeous?
It was a happy coincidence that I had started making my own on Friday! I hadn't made any for AGES so I thought I had better get cracking and restock the miserable "Doll" section of the shop! (more Matryoshka's coming too)
They still have to have their "bottoms" sewn shut and hair accessories added. But not today, I will be back at the house trying to finish off the insulation!

Hey if you need a working bee at the new place - seriously, I know a few handy chicks who would be happy to help out.
The dolls are simply charming!
