pirate boy

i am so lucky to be surrounded by very talented friends, and i am very proud of every single one of them.   one of these friends, is rice babies!

i first fell in love with this pirate girl she had at her etsy shop.  isn't she a cutie? 

after she sold the pirate girl, i was sooo sad i didn't snatch it up in the first place...

i also discovered how much care and detail is involved in making them.   i certainly have a new-found appreciation for this art form.

i really wanted one of rice babies' dolls in my collection.  so, she created this wonderful "boy" doll just for my lil' guy, dominic.  secretly, of course, it is really for me - i guess the secret's out!

i love this embroidery...

rice babies also makes the cutest felt crowns:

don't forget to stop by rice babies etsy shop, because you don't want to miss out on all of her wonderful creations!
