She has photographed them and produced the sweetest cards which are available at Paperworks and The Wishing Tree in Totnes, and in a few shops in Denmark.<br />
Her company is called Pippi and Me but sadly there's no web site - YET!<br />
Last week I finished making three more animals for Jeannett, a monkey, a cat and a dog - which I'll put photos up of soon.<br />

I'm a big fan of Alys Fowler though you wouldn't know it if you looked in my garden!<br />
So I really enjoyed making a mini Alys and her dog Isabel.<br />

Last May I think it was, the weather was truly awful and with the help of my children and nieces, we invented this great way of making sweet peas. I thought I might re-post it as it's pretty nippy out there and we're all dreaming of Spring<div>
<br /><br /><br />Well, it’s still pouring with rain here in Devon, gail force winds etc. Plenty of time to make sweet peas and dream of more gentle June weather…<br /><br />You’ll need a piece of kitchen roll and some felt tips and a glass of water.<br /><br />Start by folding your piece of kitchen roll into quarters and cutting out a couple of circles, they don’t need to be perfect.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.sarahstrachan.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/blog-on-sweetpeas-03.jpg"><img height="240" src="http://www.sarahstrachan.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/blog-on-sweetpeas-03-300x225.jpg" width="320" /></a><br /><br />Now, with a felt tipped pen, dot around the edge of one of your circles.<br /><br />Take another colour and dot inbetween the first dots, add a few more and some green dots in the middle.<br /><br />This isn’t an exact science, have fun and don’t worry about doing it “right”.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.sarahstrachan.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/blog-on-sweetpeas-04.jpg"><img height="240" src="http://www.sarahstrachan.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/blog-on-sweetpeas-04-300x225.jpg" width="320" /></a><a href="http://www.sarahstrachan.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/blog-on-sweetpeas-05.jpg"><img height="240" src="http://www.sarahstrachan.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/blog-on-sweetpeas-05-300x225.jpg" width="320" /></a><br /><br /> <br /> Now dip your finger in the glass of water and just dab the circle with drops of water and watch the colours merge.</div>

Repeat this process on each of your circles, with different colour combinations and varying amounts of dots, then leave them all to dry naturally, or as I did, dry them with a hair dryer. While I dried them, I scrunched them up a bit, it gets rid of the little indentations on the kitchen roll and adds that just uncurled from the bud look.<br /><br />When they are almost dry, peal the layers of tissue apart. The kitchen roll we used had three layers.<br /><br />Lastly, form the circle into a flower shape, almost impossible to describe this bit, sort of pinch the centre back, brush the rest forward then lick your fingers and twist the centre back to form a stem.<br /><br />I’ve noticed that sometimes a disk doesn’t look all that inspiring but twisted into the flower shape can be very charming.<br /><br />What to do with them now?<br /><br />I thought they’d be lovely hung up on lines of cotton as a mobile, anyone got any other ideas?<br /><a href="http://www.sarahstrachan.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/blog-on-sweetpeas-10.jpg"><img height="240" src="http://www.sarahstrachan.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/blog-on-sweetpeas-10-300x225.jpg" width="320" /></a><a href="http://www.sarahstrachan.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/blog-on-sweetpeas-11.jpg"><img height="240" src="http://www.sarahstrachan.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/blog-on-sweetpeas-11-300x225.jpg" width="320" /></a><a href="http://www.sarahstrachan.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/blog-on-sweetpeas-12.jpg"><img height="240" src="http://www.sarahstrachan.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/blog-on-sweetpeas-12-300x225.jpg" width="320" /></a><a href="http://www.sarahstrachan.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/blog-on-sweetpeas-13.jpg"><img height="240" src="http://www.sarahstrachan.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/blog-on-sweetpeas-13-300x225.jpg" width="320" /></a><a href="http://www.sarahstrachan.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/blog-on-sweetpeas-14.jpg"><img height="240" src="http://www.sarahstrachan.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/blog-on-sweetpeas-14-300x225.jpg" width="320" /></a><a href="http://www.sarahstrachan.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/blog-on-sweetpeas-15.jpg"><img height="240" src="http://www.sarahstrachan.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/blog-on-sweetpeas-15-300x225.jpg" width="320" /></a><a href="http://www.sarahstrachan.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/blog-on-sweetpeas-16.jpg"><img height="240" src="http://www.sarahstrachan.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/blog-on-sweetpeas-16-300x225.jpg" width="320" /></a><a href="http://www.sarahstrachan.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/blog-on-sweetpeas-17.jpg"><img height="240" src="http://www.sarahstrachan.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/blog-on-sweetpeas-17-300x225.jpg" width="320" /></a><a href="http://www.sarahstrachan.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/blog-on-sweetpeas-18.jpg"><img height="480" src="http://www.sarahstrachan.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/blog-on-sweetpeas-18-300x225.jpg" width="640" /></a><br /><br /><img src="http://0.gravatar.com/avatar/8804e3fb9c1222b02a538c845512396f?s=80&d=http%3A%2F%2F0.gravatar.com%2Favatar%2Fad516503a11cd5ca435acc9bb6523536%3Fs%3D80&r=G" /><br /></div>

Gardening ladies; Vita Sackville-West, Alys Fowler,<br />
Nancy Lancaster and two land girls.<br />
I really enjoyed making them and will be sorry to post them off to London later in the week.<br />
I'm hoping the sun might peek out for just a moment tomorrow because I'd love to take some photos of them outside amongst the Spring flowers.<br />

I sit happily painting each one and then stitch them to a couple of layers of felt and blanket.<br />
I like making them so much because every one is different and for once, they are actually good for kids, I've always found it a little difficult that my dolls are not quite suitable for children.<br />

I sold lots including ALL my pixies!<br />
I'm hoping that Jen West might read this post..... if you're out there Jen, you ordered 3 pixies and paid me but in all the chaos of the fair I didn't take your address!<br />

I've been working really hard getting everything ready for this Saturday's craft fair in Chelsea.<br />
I've got 21 dolls to take, 50 pixies and a handful of leather brooches and painted stones.<br />
I've made three beds too.<br />
Check out the school girls' pencils and sandwiches!<br />
I'm excited, a bit nervous - mainly excited.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: small;"><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I thought I might write about how I began making dolls and can think of three things that influenced the creative flow that led me to starting my business:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">- My children</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">- A box of lace trimmings</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">- Two little peg-legged dolls I bought at Totnes market.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">So, starting with my gorgeous kids, Louie and Darcy.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">While I was pregnant with Louie I made him a guardian angel doll, wearing old lace, a dress made from some of my wedding veil and feathery wings. I did the same for Darcy while I was waiting for her to be born and both kids still have those dolls by their beds watching over them while they sleep and they’re reassuring – for the children when we go out, for me if they’re ill.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">My children really value all the things I’ve made for them over the years, they’re treasured above shop bought toys, and now they make things themselves, I’ll do a blog post on their creations one of these days, they’re great.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">The box of lace trimmings was a present from my mum. She started collecting antique clothes and textiles when she was 16. She used to help her mum at Bermondsey Antique Market in London every Friday, missing school – it’s where she met my dad. He started dealing in antiques when he was 14, catching the train to London and doing Bermondsey on a Friday, Portobello on the Saturday. So you could say that a love of old stuff is in my blood, and the thrill of a bargain.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">So, when I mentioned to mum that I was thinking of trying to sell dolls, maybe with a vintage feel, she produced this delightful box of carefully wrapped lace, trimmings and a pile of Victorian night dresses – thanks mum!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">The two little dolls just touched me, they were lying in a basket at Totnes market, the market town where I live in Devon, and they were a bargain of course!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">What I love about them is that they are wearing grown up clothes, I could imagine wearing these outfits, and the first doll I made in the style I now sell had a beret, inspired by the little velvet one here. I must get round to making a new leg for the other little girl!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">So there, you have it, the little things that prompted me to start my doll business.</span><br />

Can you see the tiny red silk shoe, belonged to a doll my Aunt bought in China when I was 10, only the shoe is left.<br />
And what about the beautiful hand stitched wish bones made by my friend Charlotte Chance.<br />
The last photo is my collection of beach plastic and other sea-worn treasures - I particularly covet fabric that's been washed up. Beach combing is one of my absolute favourite activities.<br />
