I was given some lovely yarn, very fine alpaca and silk blend, beautiful to handle it is so very soft. Tried it out as a wig on a peg doll and was pleased with the result, and that led to my completing the doll, decided to make the Duchess to add to the Alice in Wonderland collection. I wanted her to be a little matronly to be different from the Queen of Hearts. And for a while there was a problem of her baby who turned into a pig until I found a pig button in my button tin and it worked perfectly.
I have been asked how big are these decorations, so to give you some idea I dook this photo with a marker pen, the pen is 5 1/2 inches or 14cm
I must leave Alice in Wonderland for a while, yes there are more characters I want to add but need to wait till after my next felt order. For this month February I have quite a different book in mind,
My daughter Jan has quite a big collection of children's books, including those from my childhood her fathers and then her own and I noticed a few of her brothers there too along with what she has added for her daughters when they were younger. I am enjoying re reading children's books again as I research details for my decorations.
What did you enjoy reading when you were a child?
Keep safe and have a good month
