Maureen Cracknell Handmade Heart Felt Santa Doll
This is my newest little Santa Doll from my new line MCH Holiday. I had so much fun making that super huge one, I had to quickly make another. In the bottom photo he is holding a couple dollhouse ornaments I made from scraps of my handmade felt. You can also see this little guy on my shop and my blog.

When Music and Plush Collide

Since I began making my dolls and dollhouses I have gotten the chance to create some pretty neat things - from bringing life to an old wool sweater that hadn't been worn in years to turning a child's drawing into something they can hold and cherish. Recently I finished up a toy line for the music duo Renee & Jeremy and I think this unique collaboration is up there with the coolest things I've gotten to make. All the items I created were inspired by the awesome animation for their music video for "It's a big world" and the illustrations on their website, both done by artist Hsinping Pan. Check it out!
