"In The Garden"


Are you ready for spring?  I am!!!


Here's my latest doll, already working in her garden.  What will she see as the season comes on?



She'll start with seeds and find a few small stones as she turns the earth over.  She'll see a bright green stem reaching for the sun and later on tiny buds.  Finally, at her feet she'll see flowers. 

She'll literally be surrounded, front and back with all things growing.

"The glory of gardening: hands in the dirt, head in the sun, heart with nature. To nurture a garden is to feed not just on the body, but the soul". -- Alfred Austin

  4. Oh, what a beauty! I think she has the shape and movement of perhaps carrying something in her arms as she makes her way to the garden. I love the peaceful earth tones, and as always, am in awe of your plentiful(!) stitching. She's wonderful!

    I have never seen the Austin quote but its exactly how I feel. I just can't wait to get outside. I am re-landscaping the frog pond area this year. I hope the weather cooperates.
