Adventures at Weathertop

Of Bugs and Other Littles...

I just finished more little peg dolls that had been sitting on my workbench unfinished and I popped them into My Etsy Shop. (Also, I put most of my older peg dolls on sale, if you are interested.)

We've got:

Bumblebees with antennae...

Ladybugs with red glossy wings...

a Firefly with a "glowing" green bottom...

a Mermaid...

I hope she didn't steal her golden trident from her father King Neptune...he might get angry.

And, last but not least, a tiny baby (actually all of the dolls with the rounded shaped bottoms are tiny, about one inch, not including the antennae).

There...you can see her size in my thumb! Tiny!

All of these are available now in My Etsy Shop, along with the older pegs that are now on sale. Be sure to stop in for a visit!

Stay tuned! There are a couple of new peg dolls for the Continuing Adventures of Peggy Sue, including...Baby Erin.

(I don't know how I feel about that moniker...it makes me feel like I am three and my sisters are babysitting me. Hmphh...)

Now I have to finish that Hitty sitting on my bench...I recarved her face last night. You'll see her soon!

Look What's New in the Shop...

Yesterday, I finished up a few outstanding projects.

Two little houses (which can double as CD cases), perfect for little peg dolls.

There are also two hand-carved peg dolls with moving arms and bunny ears.

One dressed in a blue mermaid dress..

In case you aren't interested in Bunny Mermaids, however, there are five new hand-carved peg dolls...these also have moving arms, but sadly, no ears.

But when you have this many pegs in one little house, there are bound to be secrets...

You better come over and break them up!

All of these and more available now in My Etsy Shop!

Flooring...

I have been working on a house for the Pegs.

Recently, I installed "hard wood flooring."

I am not sure how I will furnish it.

The Continuing Adventures of Peggy Sue : A New Playhouse

Today Granny took the Peggy Sue and her sister Laurie Kathleen to see a new hideout she'd found.

"It is just the right size for us to play in! May we Granny? Please?" Asked Peggy Sue with longing in her voice.

"I see no reason why you should not." Said Granny with a smile.

It really is the right size for small peg wooden girls, not really for Grannies.

Note: This fabulous little house was made by Lucinda Claire Macy of Willodel on Etsy. I was hoping it would be more home sized, but it does make a wonderful playhouse.

 

Peggy Sue was named after my big sister, who suffered with a brain tumor and left this Earth before I was born. I have always wondered who she would have been and if we would have been great friends. Having been younger by 12 and 14 years than my older sisters, I always wished I had a sister closer to my age. Peggy Sue would have been quite a bit older than I am, but it doesn't mean I haven't spent many hours wondering what could have been. Borrowing her name seemed appropriate for my little peg wooden doll seeing as her name has the word "Peg" built right into it and it felt right to honor my sweet sister somehow. Laurie Kathleen, the peg wooden with braids, has been named for my other two sisters (neither of whom have dark hair). Perhaps someday there will be a red haired Baby Erin to join the group.
