Mouse Doll (not Tilda)

I had some remnants of grey linen... that's how this Mouse Doll appeared.
At first in my imagination I saw a gallant mouse gentleman in white shirt and trousers... but in the end I crafted this young lady wearing a sun-dress.

She can move her hands and legs. Also she can stand and sit. So I'm sure the girl whose parents bought this doll will have fun playing with this Mouse doll.

Karina - a Sleepy Tilda Angel for a little girl

Thanks to my participation in the Mlyn Handmade Fair I got an order to sew a sleepy Tilda angel for a 3-year-old girl whose name was Karina. Karina's father had been looking for a toy to hang it over her bed - to guard Karina's dreams, so I told him that a sleepy angel is the right choice.
Here's the sleepy angel I crafted for Karina. For some reason this Tilda angel-girl wanted to become red-haired and have a mouth (which is not typical of Tilda dolls). I also made a nightcap for her but the capricious Tilda toy didn't want to try it on.
