Can you imagine the Lavender Children dancing in the summer meadow? I can and it makes me smile. As always I hope my designs bring you joy!

My Grandfather was one of my favorite people in the whole world. When I think of him I don’t remember detailed accounts of his life because he died when I was young, but I remember sitting on his lap a lot while holding my favorite doll (named dolly) and that he had a giant vase filled with cattails at his door. Now I have dolls that combine th...

Lily of the valleys are one of my favorite flowers! They are so tiny and delicate. The perfect size for my wee folk.

They are knit entirely in the round on dpns, starting at the base/roots with decreases to the start of the sprout and then simple knitting upwards to form a tube where a pipe cleaner goes.

It is a nice escape for me when I’m doing the dishes or just need a break from being a serious adult. I hope that my designs bring you joy and that you love how stress-free they are.

As a child I was pretty obsessed with wee folk! I would wander the shire like countryside in New Zealand where I grew up, hoping to catch a glimpse of one. These toadstool folk are inspired by my childhood valley and waldorf peg dolls. My toadstool house can be found here!

These Peace Dolls are inspired by the national clothing of the Ukraine, especially by the colorful wreaths of flowers that the unmarried girls wear in their hair.

Nothing is quite as fun as a strawberry picnic and the taste of sun-ripe strawberries!

Years ago at my son’s Waldorf preschool, I fell in love with peg dolls. Then sadly I realized how fiddly it was to knit their tiny clothes. So I gave myself the goal of designing non-fiddly ones. Now after many years and with much joy I have knitter-friendly peg dolls! Hooray!
