We had a branch from an Arbutus tree that was trimmed from our sisters’ tree many years ago, so it is really dried out and incredibly hard.
I used it to carve 2 little dolls, and then I wove dresses for them, using Lil Weaver looms from Dewberry Ridge Looms.
Here’s a short slide show of the making of the dolls:
So much fun!!!!

They are sweet and perhaps indestructible! I hope they will be good companions for Tennie – and I hope your hands don’t hurt too much after all that carving on such hard wood!! Their outfits are very cute!

Thank you, Kjerstin! My goodness- Arbutus is indeed hard hard hard! They took a really long time to carve because of the hardness and I won’t be carving any more arbutus 🙂 The Arbutus Sisters won’t be having any more siblings carved from the same family tree, I’m sorry to say. But, they will be joined by more little wooden friends, I am sure. As you know so well…. carving wooden dolls is very addictive! 🙂
