The babushka tea cozy is finished. I loved making it. I took the whole face off after I posted yesterday and made it all bolder. I made the eyes bigger and instead of pink nose and mouth I embroidered with red floss. I made the blush slightly bolder, too. I backed the whole back of the doll with linen. The finished babushka fits on a taller thinner teapot from my collection. I never use teapots but I think they are such a pretty shape so I have and display several.
The little doll in the middle I got from
Erleperle at her Etsy shop. I think its really cute.
Blogspot is really acting up today. I'll be surprised if this actually posts. - nanette

She's darling and looks wonderful on your shelf.

Love your babushka girl! So cute! You inspired me to make one of my own!
Love your blog too, it's taken me a few visits to figure out that more than one person is posting, I'm goofy like that! But what a neat idea! ;)
