Description Decca has a great interest in 1930s architecture. She's for sale in my Etsy shop: www.etsy.com/ca/listing/165832…

She measures just a shade over 11 inches standing up. Her arms and legs are button-jointed, though her head is not. She's made of polar fleece and is filled with a mixture of soft polyester stuffing and plastic pellets to give her limbs and her belly some pleasant weight. She's 100% handstitched and is pretty much the definition of rolly-polly.

Fleece, what a nice idea for material! She really is a cutie, like all your plushies.

Yeah! Β I wanted something that was a little more durable than felt, since these dolls have moving parts and tend to get pilly after their joints have been rubbing for a while. Β How are Pipito and Meora holding up?

I think them being made out of fleece is very nice for cuddling.

Pipito and Meora are doing super fine. They hang around my workdesk and get a hug from me ever so often. And I have the feeling that when I don't look they hide my needles, that's why I never find them when I need them. I simply love them.

Aw, I'm so glad to hear it! Β I'm also glad that the felt isn't wearing out on them yet. Β Of course, I doubt you're putting them through rough play, so they'll probably be fine for a long, long time to come.

I really have to take new pictures of them. No no, the felt is in excellent shape. No rough cuddling, even though they look very tempting.

We have a little stress here right now at home, a leak under my bedroom floor, broken heating system and my grandma is in hospital so it might take some time to take new pictures, but I'm sure to let you know when they're up.

Thank you very much.
It's just too much at once right now.

I really like that jacket/cape/whatever that is, it looks really nice.

Thank you! Β It's adapted from a pattern for an old coat.
