ABOUT

I live in fresh green Tasmania  with my husband and three children, my four cats, five hens and a very cute duck called Charlie.

I have always, always, made things with my hands.
 I have loved needlecrafts since I was a wee one and have knitted and sewn my way through my life.










I began dollmaking with the birth of my third child 15 years ago and I love it more with each doll I make.

I take great pleasure in using the best materials I can find, some sourced locally from the bounties of Tasmania and Australia and some are the best from the rest of the world.

I am totally besotted by the wonderful artwork of vintage children's illustrators such as
 Jesse Wilcox Smith, Mabel Lucie Atwell, Eloise Wilkin and Corinne Malvern.

I love Little Golden Books and Ladybird Books and Enid Blyton tales.

I love children, little tots, in handmade, home made clothes, 

knitted sweaters and cardigans, 

warm cosy corduroy trousers and overalls,

 pretty cotton frocks and skirts, 

white socks and maryjane shoes.
