Yippee! I’m in a Treasury.

You see him up there? My little White Rabbit broach? How sweet to be included in a such a wonderful treasury! This Etsy Treasury was compiled by La Baleine a Plumes. Thanks so much for including me!

You may notice that usually there’s a new dolly listed here on Monday. And if not on Monday, then surely by Tuesday night I have something listed.

I’m sad to say, there will be no dolly this week. I had been working on a very special piece for a Prim & Whimsy Girls Challenge that is going on this week! (Search PWGL Bewitched to see what my talented PWGL sisters have made.) I just didn’t get finished. And on top of that, Dave & I are working very hard this week to prepare a house for our belongings. That’s right. In a few short days, we’ll officially be homeowners! We’re terribly excited, but there’s so much work to do. We still have to pack the majority of our belongings. So if you don’t see a Miller Campbell Designs dolly for a little while, that’s why.

But, here’s something that will make you all giddy with excitement. I know a lady who is having a fantastic give-away that you can join! Her name is Jo & she & her hubby make the most wonderful dollies. Oh, you know who I’m talking about? Did you already know about the give-away? If not just go here, to her super fabulous blog to read all the details & see how you can win these most wonderful of items.

Evelyn & Pookie – A Primitive Witch / Owl Set

EvelynHeadToToe

Meet Evelyn & Pookie. A lot of folks think little Evelyn is the magical one in this duo. But don’t let Pookie’s face fool you! He knows more than a spell or two. Evelyn is 21.5 inches tall from the tip of her hat to her base. She’s 19″ tall without it. Evelyn’s been made of muslin & stuffed with fiberfill. She’s been hand-painted & sanded a couple of times, giving her a lovely, aged patina. She’s been made in the fashion of a stump doll. She has no legs. Her lower torso is rag-stuffed & weighted so that she stands nicely. Evelyn’s been sealed so that she may be lightly dusted after display.

EvelynOwl2

This might be the sweetest barn owl you’ll ever meet. If you don’t upset him that is. Pookie is 4.5″ tall. He’s been made of muslin, stuffed with fiberfill, hand-painted, sanded, aged & sealed with matte sealer. He is attached to Evelyn’s arm with rusty wire.

Evelyn’s wavy black hair is 100% mohair. It has been applied with light glue for extra security & needle-felting. It has been loosely pulled to the side & tied in a pony with embroidery thread.
