Welcome to my 'craft room' in a little town in Victoria, Australia. A special place in my life where my creative license runs free and unfettered.
My dolls are an eclectic bunch, with no particular 'style' that can be attributed to me as a designer, although the theme is almost always 'country' and 'home decor' rather than play dolls for children.  I design on wings of imagination unlimited, and the dolls, quilts and stitcheries demand to be made as they wish....I simply follow their lead...
I hope you enjoy your stay in our craft room, and perhaps decide to try a pattern or two.

We have a chat room now, and encourage you to use it to chat with your doll making friends, any time.
I hope you like our new website. The dolls said it was time for an upgrade....who am I to argue! See you inside...

for Angels, Bags, Critters or Barnyard babes, Country bears and dolls, Raggedies, Primitives, Stitching and Quilting. Enjoy your visit.

Country blessings, Stella
