I had this thought as I was falling asleep ... [ instead of counting sheep ] I wanted to make a doll using bits and pieces hand stitched .... like the way I used to make heart pillows
so I made this doll today . The hand stitching took forever but I didn't mind ...... it was fun stitching on bits of lace, cheesecloth , buttons, bits of old doilies too .
Hope you are having a nice weekend !
This mermaid doll is in my shop ! { sold ! }

time well spent :)
She's amazing. A Victorian mermaid. :)) I love using bits and pieces of things, and hand stitching. I think I do it because it gives me permission to be messy and imperfect - hahahaha!

A lovely mermaid adrift in a sleepy sea... I do a lot of my unconscious thinking while asleep! Sometimes asking the questions before nodding off helps too. She's lovely.
