Russian All Over
Now this is a love/hate thing for me. Russian dolls. As with a lot of stuff, coming back,getting popular, I didn't appreciate these dolls when they returned. Like leggings. What's up with those? To 80's for me and still they've grown on me. They do look quite cute, cut off under a skirt or something. Though I wouldn't wear them. But back to the dolls. My daughter has a few. I've even purchased some fabric.
My sweet girlfriend Laila at ViOhlin gave me the wee ones - cute, eh?
So now I'm going to do a little Russian Doll thing myself! I found this pattern, at the local thrift store and thought I'd throw myself into a little stitchery! Maybe in some other colors - whaddaya say? And maybe not until Winter. It IS a Winter project, I'd say.
Oh and I just ordered one of these from Mette in her Erleperle shop. And do you remember these I got from Run Amok? I guess it's more love now, than hate?
Næhh... Hvor er hun fin! Kan du virkelig vente helt til vinter???

I know what you mean about the 80's revival thing it seems too close.I just bought some leggings but I haven't worn them yet even though back then I lived in them and had every colour!
I love the imagery of authentic russian dolls.In fact the other day I saw a mum at school with a pin that had 5 very small dolls attached I nearly asked her where she got it from!

oh my goodness, where did you get that fabric? I must find some. I sat on the fence for a long time with these too but have gone a bit bonkers for them lately. Leggings....well, I definitely wouldn't wear wear them but yes, sometimes they are cute...

Ooh, I have that old magazine with the crosstitch pattern too! Haven´t tried it yet though. And the fabric was very cute - where can I purchase it?
