It is Tone Finnanger's latest book, full of gorgeous projects. I first mentioned the book in this post (where you can find some photos from the book).
I knew from the moment I saw the book cover that I wanted to make the Princess and the Pea project for my daughter. What better way to spend a snowy cold weekend here?
Needle and thread in hand, I truly enjoyed every minute of making this lovely lady:
The pretty blue and white fabric came from the Tilda's Winter Memories fabric collection, appealing in soft, muted colors:
For now she rests atop a basket full of pillows I have for sale on Etsy. My next project is to provide a multi-mattress topped bed for her...
The book cover...
These miniature animals from the book really appealed to my daughter, so they will be made next...
This little hare looks adorable under a cloche:
Another page of the book reveals handsome nutcrackers:
I started a Tilda's World board on Pinterest which includes more gorgeous ideas from the book. Feel free to view it here.
Still having fun with dolls, I decided my Santos doll needed this new crown:
Never too old to play with dolls!

Thank you for introducing me to this company. I have seen bits and pieces, but did not realize it was here in the US. Love the princess and yes, she does need a stack of mattresses!
Love it all Susan
And love the colors
I wish I had more nimble fingers to do doll work.
Cause they are so cute!!!!

What a beautiful doll, Susan! Love your new book, so many pretty creations. Those stuffed animals are just darling! And I love your doll in the wire basket with all of your pretty pillows, how fun!
That book cover is amazing, I love the crown, too. Your daughter will be so happy when you make these cute characters for her. So sweet.
Looks like a darling book! Your new doll is adorable. That bed will be a fun project to do. I have to go check out your pins!
She is wonderful! You did a fantastic job! What a great book. You are so talented. I think I like yours even better than the Princess on the cover :)

Your Princess doll is beautiful Susan. I think every project in the book is adorable and can't wait for my new range of Tilda fabrics to arrive so I can start making some of these treasures too.
Pretty pretty! How pretty your dolls are, Susan! Love Tilda, and those nutcrackers... aah. Your Santos doll is fabulous too! I always admire her when I visit here.

Her face and stockings grabbed me right away. Clearly you were meant to play with dolls. So sweet. Just love them.

Hi Susan ~ I just adore your new doll (and yes, we are never too old to play with dolls)! Love how she is sitting on all your pretty pillows!
More snow on the way...hopefully we will get to see more of your creations!
Just beautiful! If only I could sew.
You have such a gift, my friend.
The little doll is so lovely and adorable!! What fun projects to do with your daughter.

Lovely doll! I'm looking forward to seeing the animals next :-)
Nope, never to old to play with dolls. I am sure your daughter is going to love her.
I can see why you were drawn to the book, cover is amazing.

Oh, I love handmade dolls! This princess doll is so sweet, Susan.
She looks perfect sitting atop all of your pillows.
It looks like you will be busy making more cute projects with all of this cold weather we are having.
