knee deep in matryoshkas
We can't seem to get enough of these sweet nesting dolls - my shop partner (mother) and I. And now we've collaborated with the lovely Erin of Imaginationkids to have a handmade wooden baby teether the same shape as the matryoshkas in our bedding.
Our turquoise matryoshka fabric paired with bright pink and purple mod dots has been so popular that we searched for a similarly bold, pretty print to use with our cream nesting dolls print (which is actually my favorite - it reminds me the most of a soft rainbow).
And we did the same with peach pink.
This week, I'm going to make a few sets of the matryoshka dolls I made last year - embroidering "it's what's inside that counts" on the dolls' sweet tummies.
And I'm thinking of buying a blank wooden set of dolls to hand paint for Hanukkah as a little gift for a girl I know.
They are so sweetly addictive, these dolls, aren't they?



i love these dolls, too! i have wanted to own some blank ones, but alas my drawing skills are really sub-par and i think they might be nicer plain! ;) i'd love to see what you did with a set!
ReplyDeleteI love matryoshkas too! Those fabrics are absolutely darling, I think I particularly love the turquoise one!
ReplyDeleteI just love the fabrics and what a wonderful idea to combine a handmade teether.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to see what you do with the wooden set:)
Thanks, Tonya! It's Thanksgiving here in Canada so we're off to enjoy the autumn sun!
ReplyDeleteThanks Momma Rae :)
ReplyDeleteLook forward to our stone swap!
The little embroidered dolls are so sweet! And the wooden teether is such a clever companion gift with your beautiful sewing.
