27 March 2025:: Look who’s quietly taking shape on my sewing table…

This little long-eared bunny is still a work in progress, but already I can feel the life and character forming with every stitch. Made from soft, unbleached cotton and sewn together in the early light of morning, this one feels like a gentle breath of calm amidst the busy world.

There’s something incredibly grounding about dollmaking — the slowness, the silence, the rhythm of it. Cutting, sewing, stuffing, shaping… it’s like sculpting a story in fabric.

I haven’t added a face yet. Not quite ready. That part always feels sacred — like naming something. For now, she simply sits beside the threads, keeping me company, legs dangling over the edge of my sewing box.

I think she knows she’s loved already.
