Stumpkins

80's flashback!

Does anyone remember these cute wee folk?

My Mom made these adorable soft sculpture dolls in the 80's, and I took up making them in the 90's. Now these cute little guys are back! As I recall, the story goes that they are sweet little creatures of the woods.

Each unique Stumpkins doll is made with love, stuffing and nylon stockings. Then each is embellished to fit their unique, individual style, character and theme.

Here you see my Renaissance Stumpkins Collection;

The King and Queen

The idea came from a book that my Mom had in the 80's,
by Trish Powers
Wee Folk Stumpkins
(Cover pictured below.)

My Mother would make clowns, ladies, babies, married wee folk, and of course Mr & Mrs Claus.

(Ps.... they have the cutest little tushies, dimples and all!)

Flashback is warming my heart on this unusually cold winter day here in Texas!

Thank you for stopping by!

Crochet Chinoiserie

Chinoiserie, or Blue Willow China is such an eye catcher, that when in 2011, a customer requested I crochet her Mom a blanket to match her Blue Willow China collection, I was beside myself with excitement.

I do not think I knew, until then that Hobby Lobby had such a great assortment of colors! There were so many blues to choice from.

We collaborated on the color scheme and her Moms blanket was finished just in time for her Christmas SURPRISE! <3

It is crochet projects like this that bring me so much crochet JOY, with the fun new Blue Willow China crochet, HAPPY MOMs and HAPPY DAUGHTERs, a very Merry Christmas'.

Happy Holidays!

The design started as part of the Boho Granny American Flag Collection. Wanting to add Diverse Stitches to the name, and unable to stop with just red, white and blue here, I ended up with the Diverse Stitches Doily, pictured below in;

Ocean Waves, and Autumn Charm colors.

Texas Independence Day

March 2, 2024

I 💙 Texas

It has taken me a while to come back around to it, but I am happy to say that the Texas Heart Pillow has finally come together. Stop by and check out this crochet item, patterns, and more in Doily Designs Etsy shop.

The first Texas flag started off not exactly what I had in mind, and it has taken me a while to find time to work on it. (1st flag seen above draped over the basket)

It was not until the concept of a flag heart pillow had come to mind, that the Doily Deisgns' Heart Texas Flag Pillow stuck. Finally the Texas Flag I'd been wanting is complete!

Boho Granny Flag Collection, Texas Heart Pillow Pattern.

A side shout out for a big Birthday wish to Theodor Suess Geisel, aka Dr Suess, who's birthday also fell on this day, March 2. (Theodor Suess Geisel 1904-1991 r.i.p.) Dr Suess wrote the first book that I ever read by myself, and is a hero of mine for his art and writing, and how he has captured the hearts of so many, to this day.

Thank you for stopping by.

Best wishes, happy crocheting!
