A shoulder bag for the Lily Doll

This month, I designed a Shoulder Bag to weave on the Mirrix Chloe Loom for the Lily Doll as part of the Lily Doll Project- a co-creation with Mirrix Looms.

It’s a VERY tiny purse, just perfect for a 6 inch tall woven doll to carry her wee Teddy Bear and other little treasures!

Here are the links to order the kit and the PDF- Happy Weaving!

Woven Overalls for the Lily Doll Project

September is such a lovely month with clear blue skies and crisp temperatures, and oh yes, shorter days- perfect for overalls, right?

So I designed these fun overalls for the Lily Doll project.

They are woven on the Mirrix Chloe loom.

Oh so cute for Lily Doll and all her friends in the Lily Doll Project.

Check out these and the whole Lily Doll collection.

A Bee Blessing on the Inkle Loom

The other day when I was out in the yard photographing some inkle weaving, a bee landed on the loom and ambled around. She didn’t seem bothered about me and my camera and she let me photograph her.

I was concerned that she might be having a hard time in the heat, so I sat my camera down so I could bring her a little dish of water, but she flew off and started nuzzling tomato flowers.

I hope that she and all her sisters are doing well, and I am grateful to her for stopping for a little visit.

Life is full of little blessings that make our hearts sing, isn’t it?

❤

A Mermaid Costume for the Lily Doll

The Lily Doll Project that I am designing for the Mirrix Chloe loom is all about imagination.

So to celebrate imagination, I designed a Mermaid costume to be woven on the Chloe loom for the Lily Doll.

The Mermaid Tail slips onto Lily Doll’s legs so she can have adventures in a Mermaidly way.

But it struck me this morning that the Mermaid Tail and the Lily Doll pattern could be ‘mashed up’ to weave a doll that is a Mermaid and not a little doll with legs, dressed as a Mermaid.

There are always so many options, aren’t there?

Here are the links for the Lily Doll kit and pdf pattern:

I hope that your day is full of Mermaid musings and imagining all manner of sweet things!

Happy Weaving! ❤

Lily Doll and her friends had an adventure

Lily Doll, Millie, Lally, Teddy Bear and Sam Dog The Brave decided that they needed to investigate the flowers in the trees. The flowers smelles so delicious and inviting!

Lily Doll and Millie Doll have new jeans, which made them feel extra adventurous.

Lally doesn’t have jeans yet, but she wasn’t going to let that slow her down!

Lily and Millie scrambled up the pear tree to snip the sweet smelling blossoms. They didn’t notice that Teddy Bear and Lally weren’t with them.

They heard a little ‘Squeak’ and Millie climbed down to see what it was…. oh no!

Teddy Bear thought that he might find some honey in an inviting looking tree cave…. but, nope.

No honey, but suddenly, he felt that everyone had climbed too high and he didn’t like it at all.

Millie called Lily….

And, Lily talked kindly to Teddy Bear

And they both rescued him.

Lally called to them to see what she had found…. so while Lily comforted Teddy Bear, Millie scrambled higher up the tree.

A Faerie window!!!!

Teddy Bear said he was tired and hungry and that he really didn’t want to open the Faerie Window, Just in Case…. (it could be scary, after all).

Brave Sam The Wonder Dog hadn’t bothered with climbing trees.

He was much more interested in the Faerie Door at the base of the tree!

He called them down and they took a selfie and decided that it was time to go inside.

Lally thinks that it’s unfair that she doesn’t have jeans, so I have promised her a pair.

(But in a different color, she said…. to go with her hair).

The pattern for the jeans as well as all the other patterns and kits are all available at:

Hope you find magic and wonder in your garden or in one that is close to you, and also on your loom!

Happy Springtime! ❤

A Rainbow in My Studio

I walked into my studio this morning and was stopped in my tracks by a rainbow , gobsmackingly intense, parked under my wee Structo Loom.

I raced for my camera to catch it before it flickered off to play in another corner of the room.

Such small and fleeting things bring so much joy!

I turned my back and a moment later, the rainbow was gone…..

I hope that unexpected delights will suddenly appear for you too! 🙂

An odd thing has happened with this post…. not only did the rainbow in the studio disappear, but so has the post itself. I’ve been wrestling with getting it to show up again and wondering how and why a post would simply disappear. Sigh…..
