I’ve been busy for the past few weeks working on more dolls in hand painted fabrics by Sarah Campbell<\/a>, with whom I collaborated on last summer’s Painted Treasures dolls<\/a> which were exhibited and sold at Anthropologie<\/a> in London’s Kings Road. I’ve just finished the above batch and sent them off to Sarah for her to sell on her website.<\/p>\n

They seem to be proving quite popular over on Instagram<\/a> – even more so than last year’s dolls for Sarah. I hope they sell well.<\/p>\n

I so enjoy collaborating with other artists and makers – so I’ve just invited someone else to join me in another collaboration… Fingers crossed that it works out!<\/p>\n

In addition, my lovely lad has just turned 18 and will be off to university in a few short weeks.<\/p>\n

I am so glad of my creative urges at the moment. Otherwise, my nest would truly be empty.<\/p>\n

It’s actually feeling pretty empty anyway – and he hasn’t even gone yet.<\/p>\n

I have a feeling that I will be throwing myself into making lots of things over the next few weeks.<\/p>\n

I need the distraction from worrying whether he is eating properly, hoping that he is making lots of new friends – and feeling like a part of my soul is missing. \u2665<\/p>\n
