Raggedy Ann and Andy Dolls

This is an example of one of my Raggedy Andy dolls (Ann was unavailable the day of the photo shoot, but I do make both). The faces are hand-embroidered and the yarn hair is double stitched so the loops can't be pulled out of place. Clothing is all removable except for Andy's hat, which is stitched in place. Andy wears a one-piece overall that snaps up the back. Ann's calico dress also snaps up the back and is worn with a white apron and bloomers. I make the dolls in 10 inch, 15 inch, 20 inch, and 25 inch sizes.

Quiet Books

The cover of the Quiet Book. This one says "My Quiet Book" but I also customize special orders with the child's or family's name: "Sue's Quiet Book" or "The Smith Family's Quiet Book".








Pages one and two - fold the hankie and put it in the smiling pocket; Velcro the train cars onto their outlines.








Pages three and four - move the clock hands to learn to tell time; form the chick's bill with your finger and thumb.









Pages five and six - unsnap the purse flap to find a pad and pencil; lace and tie the shoestring.








Pages seven and eight - change the bears overalls and hang the other pair on the hanger (snaps); unzip the ladybug (or football if requested) to find a pocket mirror or small toy.








Pages nine and ten - count the buttons on each felt number; use your finger to make the elephant's trunk.








Pages eleven and twelve - smell the perfumed flower; snap the balloons on to match the colored outlines.








Pages thirteen and fourteen - dial the phone or answer with the Velcro-attached receiver; slip your hand into the cozy mitten.

My New Blankets

I make double sided fleece blankets with ribbon tabs for baby to play with. I've recently gotten a lot of new prints and made up various sizes of blankets, some large enough to actually be used as a blanket and some small enough to carry in a stroller or car seat when a warm blanket is not needed.
