My Grandfather was one of my favorite people in the whole world. When I think of him I don’t remember detailed accounts of his life because he died when I was young, but I remember sitting on his lap a lot while holding my favorite doll (named dolly) and that he had a giant vase filled with cattails at his door. Now I have dolls that combine th...

These dolls are inspired by the beautiful valley of my childhood in the South Island of New Zealand, also by Waldorf peg dolls. The designing of the fern frond hat was especially a labor of love and took MANY attempts to get right! But after many years I did it and they stand independently.

These Peace Dolls are inspired by the national clothing of the Ukraine, especially by the colorful wreaths of flowers that the unmarried girls wear in their hair.

The simple beauty of peg dolls is what inspired me to invent knitter-friendly versions, but later I learned that the simple beauty isn’t just for show. Peg dolls don’t typically have faces because it makes them easier to imagine with, which fosters open-ended play. For example, if a doll has a smile, it is harder for a child to imagine them sad...
