I have rested my busy knitting needles - sorry cushion I will finish you soon but stocking stitch can be quite boring. Don't be fooled into thinking that I am doing chores - no my needles have been swapped for a crochet hook and I have made a little Russian doll.
I saw the pattern earlier in the month and it has been on my to do list ever since. If you want to see the original which is really beautiful visit
Annaboos House - a blog I adore, full of amazing ideas and easy to follow tutorials - you should stop by.
I hope you like her.....................
The only slight problem is I think she wants a family - she does look a little bit lonely....................what do you think I should call her?
talk soon x
Your Russian doll is gorgeous.

She is on my to do list, too. Yours turned out so pretty! Have a great day. Tammy
ReplyDeleteShe is lovely! I love matryoshka dolls; my husband's aunt is a businesswoman who spends a lot of time in Russia for her work and she has given me two authentic matryoshka dolls, which I love. I love anything with a Russian doll motif actually. I think she needs a traditional Russian name, maybe Tatiana.
ReplyDeleteShe is stunning!!! A family would be wonderful!!! And as for a name...hmmm...I have to think on that one!! Have a lovely weekend!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I just love how everyone's dolls have such different personalities.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend,

She's lovely but definitely needs a family. How about Rosa to go with the pretty fabric? x
ReplyDeleteSo sweet! She definitely needs a mother and a daughter :)
ReplyDeleteThink Julie's suggestion of Rosa suits her very well,

ReplyDeleteOh, I LOVE your little matryoshka doll! My family is Ukrainian, and I've often thought of making some of these for my daughter. We several sets of the wooden nesting matryoshkas but I always thought it would be nice to have the soft dolls! Adorable!

She's gorgeous! I think a name like Rosa or Sasha would work, something with Russian or Eastern European origins. And yes, she needs company! x

ReplyDeleteShe is ADORABLE! I might have to put her on my ever growing to-do list. :-)
ReplyDeleteShe's beautiful! My son definitely needs one!
ReplyDeleteI love her, and so happy to meet you on Craft schooling Sunday. We have a doll that looks like she's from Russia, and so her name is Luba, though of course Natasha, Svetlana, and Tatyana are also nice and a little more exotic!
ReplyDeleteShe is adorable!! Thank you for sharing on Sharing Saturday!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet. Thanks for sharing.
