Vegetable Hating Doll with Vintage Mattress Stack

I know I'm late to this party... I know there has been a trend for vegie hating fairytale dolls with mattress stacks since Mollie Makes published this article in June:

Very much inspired, I had intended to make a little set for Greta for Christmas. But time got away from me, as happens around here sometimes. Anyway, while i had Bluey home on holidays this week, I got to work on her


Vintage Sheet Mattresses, with a couple of other upcycled fabrics mixed


The little princess, with dirty face, already loved. I used vintage lace, hankerchiefs and linen for my princess and her clothing, pillow and quilt. A tiny salt dough "pea" and excitingly I bought a little wooden ladder, from this lovely lady http://www.etsy.com/transaction/107044599


Vintage lace crown


My Muse, Greta


Mini Me?





I'm really happy with the way she turned out, Greta's enjoying her too.

Check out Manda's Etsy shop here http://www.etsy.com/shop/TreefallDesign?ref=em

I do plan on sewing a carry / storage bag for her, like Manda did, and I will give that princess a wash soon too.

    Typical warranties run between 10 and 15 years and may last upwards of 20 years. Be sure to read what the warranty does and doesn't cover as it may save you time, money and headaches in the future. kenworth
