Our new friend

A few weeks ago I decided to try my hand at doll making. Using beautiful local wool, I hand crocheted this little girl (she still needs a name). Her fully rooted hair is made from soft washable wool so that it will not get tangled and matted (I hope!). Her head, body and legs are stuffed with polyfil. I did not stuff her arms so that they would be more flexible. She has cute little mitten hands.

Recycled corduroy bag with owl patch - Completed!

Here are a few pictures of the finished bag....In place of the brand logo-d metal button I put a stack of three vintage buttons.
