All over the world, red is a color of celebration, so to celebrate all the ways we as humans enjoy the turning of the seasons and the connection to the Divine, Lily Doll has a new red Celebration dress.
The links on the Mirrix site to order the kit are:
May you find joy, grace, hope and delight in all that you celebrate! ❤
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!
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! ❤
The Lily Doll Project that I am co-creating with Mirrix looms grows a little more each month.
This month, the newest addition is tadah: Jeans for Lily Doll and her friends.
Yesterday’s blog post was inspired by Lily Doll’s new jeans.
All the PDF’s and kits to make everything in the Lily Doll Project (including the Jeans) are available at:
Happy Weaving! ❤
The Pixel People are quirky little woven wonderfuls that I designed for the Lily Doll Project.
They began as doodles on graph paper and were so delightful that I had to weave them right away! They are very small, so they are quick to weave and are great little stash busters. (they’re 1 1/2 inch or 3.75 cm square). I always put a ‘Lucky Penny’ and a paper heart inside to make them even more good natured.
They should probably come with a warning that they are so much fun to weave that it becomes quite addictive to weave them. This is really okay, as people love them so much that the Pixel People jump merrily into other people’s hands and hearts and pockets, too.
There’s more information about the Lily Doll Project at www.tottietalkscrafts.com and the kits and pdf’s are available at https://mirrixlooms.com/lily
Happy happy weaving!
Here’s a link to a little slide show that I made when I was playing with some of the Pixel People that have flown away from the studio:
Once upon this time there is a darling 3 year old, (named Lily) who inspired me to create the Lily Doll Project- a year long celebration of delight, joy and creativity.
When Lily’s Mamma, Elena Kawachi, posted pics of little Miss Lily taking her first steps into the world of ballet, I couldn’t resist designing a tutu for Lily Doll, woven on the Mirrix Chloe loom.
And because ballerinas need to stay warm after class, I designed a wee shrug for Lily Doll, too. The kit for the shrug and tutu are available at LINK
The Shrug also looks great with the Pinafore Pocket Dress (kit also available on the Lily Doll page LINK)
Here’s to the joy of woven dolls and imagination! Hope you’ll join us in the delightful, healing art of dollmaking and make your own, unique version of Lily Doll and her friends! <3
Happy weaving! ❤
Lily Doll says that it is chilly, and even though she likes her upcycled lace dress, some woven dresses would be nice….. so she even offered to help with the weaving…..
Be patient, Lilly Doll! Dresses are on the way…. soon, Little One! Soon…..
The Lily Doll Project can be found at https://mirrixlooms.com/lily
I am delighted that I can pull the curtain back on a project that I am so excited about….
For months now, I have been hard at work, designing a darling little doll, Lily, and her friends, and clothes and accessories to weave on the Mirrix Chloe loom.
The Lily Doll Project is an ongoing series of kits from Mirrix that are available at LINK
Everything begins with the Lily Doll kit and Tiny Teddy Bear kit, then every other week, there will be a new kit available with full instructions and everything you need to make the project.
This is so much fun! I hope that you are going to love Lily Doll and her friends and treasures as much as I do!
The Lily Doll and all the projects can be woven on either the 5 inch or the 8 inch Mirrix Chloe looms. They are such a joy to weave with!
Hope you will join me for this fun adventure in joyful weaving!
I am so pleased!
One of my most favorite dolls of all the thousands of dolls that I have designed, is ‘Lily’.
Somehow, I managed to loose the file that had her pattern in it, and oops, had sold all my paper copies of her pattern.
Oh my word!
It’s been driving me nuts that I couldn’t find her file, so I spent most of the day searching through all my files. whew.
I was THRILLED when I found her file!
So, I set to work on rebuilding it, as it was an earlier version, and now I have created a pdf of her pattern.
Whee hah! My darlin’ Lily is back in town! woohoo!
I’ve put her on my website. You can see her at:
wheeeeeeeeeee
