Phoebe is very reluctant to talk to us. She seems to find it much more effective to communicate through funny faces and tumbling off furniture. She has however mastered 4 very important words: mama, dedede, ah-er (oscar) and dah-eeee (dolly).
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.
So sweet!
I just noticed the Wii-mote in your banner! too funny
I love those not-quite-right words. They make the heart melt – and so does that embroidery.
Oh, that is just too cute!
aww. I can’t wait until our little one will say something other than BAAAAAAAAAAA… how old is she now?
Ohhh! That’s such a cute time!
Enjoy all you can!
How old is she?
Kisses from Brazil!
Something tells me her little smile melts you every time – why would she need to speak?!? 🙂
My youngest is right around Phoebe’s age. I am certain that he is hiding the fact that he can talk in full sentences. I know there are some words in there, but just like Phoebe he has about 4 words he uses often and the rest of the time he is giggling and bouncing around.
I also think that his 3yo brother doesn’t let him get a word in edgewise!
ah, so sweet!
i am absolutely in LOVE with these embroidery patterns — any chance that you’ll post a few patterns? i want to do them on a linen and then frame each in a small (3×3″ or 4×4″) frame for our hallway at Christmas. they’re even on my “wednesday wish list” of things to do! (hope you don’t mind!)
omidoublefreakingosh…that is the absolute CUTEST little dreamin’ dumplin!!!! the little dolly and the bedspread…beyond words.
my eldests nickname comes from the middle child not being able to say her name right. lili was bow bow (as in ribbon) for a long time. no similarity at all but we still say it 4 years on. have a great day xx
p.s. what is a blogline?
omgosh, you do have a wii remote in your banner! too cute. (I love how little ones talk… dah-eee) love all the christmas dreams you are doing. so different from the typical candy cane, christmas tree, etc.
My oldest son was a reluctant talker too. Now I cannot get him to stop!
I love the embroidery all in one color.
Adorable.
OHHH when can we get the pattern? I love it!
What a sweet pattern. I love it!
oh, hillary, the cuteness is killing me!
And then they turn 7, like my Daughter, and NEVER stop talking! She even talks in her sleep! Cute embroidery!
So cute–Phoebe, her words and your work.
Your new graphics are adorable. When can we get you to illustrate a wee wonderfuls children’s book? Mmm? Compolete with embroidery pattern tucked in the back for mom?
I love these wee dreamers you are doing!
I love your patterns!
So beautiful! I love your new blog layout too!
Your blog is cute. I’m so glad I found your site!
Please tell me you will be selling these patterns! I love them!

lucky you! abby only says uh-oh if something falls. no mama and no papa… 🙁
I love all the embroidery that you do! It’s so cute. I know you do a lot and have in the past wondered what to do with some of them. I saw this cute pic on flickr and thought of you and your stuff being an ornament. http://www.flickr.com/photos/fionacarter/2694415322/
What a cute design. I LOVE it!
