Almost a month ago I received the most wonderful surprise in my mailbox from my friend Mimi. My very own woolly moon baby.
Initially, I thought it was a gift for baby, but she later said it was for me. The mama. My very own baby that will never get bigger. I love it so much. Her handwork and attention to detail make her dolls so special. There is no question I am a huge fan of Mimi's work. We share a love of embroidery and wool and she stitches up such beautiful creations like none I've ever seen before. I love all her dolls, and this is one of my all time favorite applique pieces. She also makes the sweetest fabric postcards and ACEO's. Check out her shop, you won't be disappointed.
In her package she also included one of her ornaments.
Love this... and looks like a lot of fun to make. Here's her tutorial if you'd like to give them a try.
Oh...and she also sent some wool. (One thing I'm especially loving about the macro setting is I can FINALLY take decent photos of wool...).
And not just ANY wool, but wool that Salley Mavor gave to her. Now, Mimi knows I'm a huge fan of Salley's work (just see here and here) and she knew this would be a big deal for me...and it is. I can't wait to make something special from it.

Thank you for all the surprises Mimi! You have outright spoiled me.
