Today this happy little girl has accompanied me in the studio. The fever from yesterday seems to have rained away (it's pouring down outside). She decided to get out of bed, peeked in and said: "I quite like sewing." And we came to the conclusion that her Barbies were in desperate need of new pillows. She wanted to make them out of felt. And I helped her with a little appliqué, a heart for her and a star for him. I just love the windows in their bedroom :) I made the bed from foam plastic and wire a year back. The Barbies do have a quilt too. I made that for my little sister some 15 years ago. It might have been my first quilt!
Talking about kids I have totally forgotten to share the great news that some of my stuff is now available at:
Craftsbury Kids is an on-line shop specialising in handcrafted products for children made by independent artists. The selection of items is beautiful and the mission is just great! Read more about Cecilia and her shop here. On of my dino cushions will be up for sale later today :)

What a cutie! She's adorable, and so is her barbie bedroom.
what a sweetie! i love those personalized initial mini quilts that are in the store. what a wonderful gift for a child's room.
I remember doing the same thing with my Barbies. :)
aw bless what a cutie. Love the barbie bedroom. All I ever made for my barbies was a badly knit blanket that my mother helped me with and some scraps of fabric that I pretened were dresses.
I have knit several scarves for H's stuffed animals. I'm not entirely sure dragons wear scarves but his dragons do.
What a beautiful Barbie bedroom!
Your beautiful girl did a great job on those windows :)

Ahhh :) Isn't that the best? I love having my little one in the sewing room.
