I think I’ve given up trying to get a photo of Phoebe and I in our matching necklaces. I got them for her for her birthday and we love them so. They’re made by Kristina Klarin (http://color-stripes.blogspot.com/2010/04/mamma-me.html) and are the most gorgeous painted beads. The colors she uses are amazing.
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.
beautiful!
fun!!
Hi – Just got your new book in the mail and it is beautiful…sorry I can’t email you personally…can’t wait to start the projects!
I have some similar beads my daughter painted for both of us when she was 3. They’re awesome.
(started on the Mermaiden this afternoon–two for August-birthday nieces–and gave you good amazon.com props in a review. The book is already a roaring success with my family, anyway. Good luck!)
hi valerie,
I saw that! thanks so much for the kind review!! I can’t wait to hear how your mermaidens turn out. I’d love to see them when you’re finished.

I also got my book last week and it’s absolutely lovely. I’m going to make the dog necklace first as my 6-year-old daughter will be in heaven (such a perfect and creative idea, way to go!). Thanks so much for sharing your ideas with us in such a gorgeous format!
thanks brooke! can’t wait to hear how it goes 🙂
