Peg doll project

My nieces came to stay last night and I always like to think of something fun to do when they come round. This time we tried making peg dolls and I'm so impressed with their results. I love the choice of colours and fabrics each of them made. Flo's takes inspiration from the Japanese kokeshi dolls with their stylish black bobs, whilst Lila's takes inspiration from the neon trend that is so hot right now.

 

Flo's nod to the kokeshi doll aesthetic

Lila's use of trendy neons

These were the original instructions, but we altered them slightly to work with what we had.

Lauren Alison

Lauren and Sammy are the owners of the beautiful Etsy shop called Lauren Alison. Each item is designed and screen printed by Lauren, while Sammy works on the business side of things, so a wonderfully rounded duo! The tea towels and cushion covers they produce come in stunningly bright  colours on fresh cream grounds and would be a wonderful addition to any room.

You can see more of their beautiful pieces here.

Dipped

Dipped is a collection of hand dip dyed baskets, spoons and bowls by Wind and Willow Home. The creator behind this line is Minneapolis-based Araya who draws her inspiration from the change in seasons, stunning sunsets and classic lines of nature. She only makes small batches of each colourway, ensuring that each item is a truly special product. I love this neon bright colourway, and its juxtaposition against the natural wood.
