Here’s a cheerful little Thursday post. One of my favorite Christmas presents this year, a wooden mobile of smiling faces from my Mom. It’s an ebay find, by a Finnish company, Aarikka.
A captivating gang of 24 huggable, lovable creatures to sew—from classics like Margot, a topsy-turvy doll, and the button-jointed teddy bear Bjorn Bjornson, to irresistible Evelyn, a wool felt inchworm decked out in mod glasses and a kerchief, and Koji, a fiercely cute spiked softie monster. There’s something for everyone here—from kids to grown-ups and from beginning sewers to advanced dollmakers. Published by STC Craft, August, 2010.
How sweet! I especially love the little bald one with the curl.
I’m in total and utter love!
Awww! That’s the best =)
How incredibly awesome that your mom understands your style! The only “language” my mom and I share is cooking gadgets – we can buy for each other equally in this category.
oh they remind me of sarah’s new batch of loop troopers! love this, and love that your mom is trolling ebay!
So very you! Love it! Is it going into the baby’s space?
It’s wonderful! I love Aarikka stuff, they make cool jewellery and Christmas decorations, too.
TOTALLY your style- great job mom!
i imagine you having things like this…what a great gift!
Oh, your mother understands, doesn’t she? What a find!
This is so cute and so you!
So simplistic and yet so perfect.
Ha, how funny, I was just at their site last week, stalking, er, researching a partner for a swap. I loved so much of what I saw there.
What a great gift from Mom!
They have the sweetest faces.
So perfect. : )
Oooh! I’m in love with the baldy too. Tell your mom she can shop for me as well! Many congrats on your pregnancy. 🙂
How cute! I’m always on the look-out for Finnish cuteness. Thanks for sharing!
That is adorable!
heehee, cute!
So cute, wonder what search words your mum used to find that beauty!
Oh it’s fantastic. I love it. Wonderful stuff.
Simple things are the best.
Adorable–it makes you smile just looking at all the happy faces. What a grand gift!

Looks perfect for the new nursery?
Oh my, this is ridiculously adorable!!! Lucky you! (I’m just a little bit jealous, haha) Well, merry belated xmas!
