I made a little man for Strudel, who turned one recently. Like Strudel, he needs some coaxing in order to walk. I realised while I was making him that he is almost entirely made up of scraps of fabric that I kept from my old work places. (Years spent in the fashion industry have their advantages.) The knitted front panel is my work. If you have been reading this blog for a while you might recognise it.
He was inspired by a Czech book cover which I pinched from Fine Little Day and stuck in my scrapbook, above. Please excuse the dismal i-phone shot.
Strudel loves faces, so I made her a little digitally printed cushion too. Happy Birthday, Noodle!

And Evie -- that is a HUGE compliment coming from someone who makes incredibly beautiful dolls. :)
Thanks to you both.
What a lucky little Strudel! He is gorgeous Sandra.
Thanks Saskia. I am so glad that he has had such a good response, he was a bit paranoid about his odd proportions at first. His confidence in his highly individual look is growing. A lesson for all of us.
