Nesting Dolls Gossiping Over Tea in gouache
I don't own any, but there is something I'm fascinated about nesting dolls. I remember as a little girl playing with a set at a relative's house. I loved the detail yet simple shape, I loved how they stacked inside one another and were all different. This is a painting of two of those dolls telling each other stories while sipping tea. Painted on 11x11 watercolor paper in gouache using the black and white outline method.

Newborn layette for a baby boy
One of my co-workers is having a baby boy very soon, and I wasted no time crocheting a newborn layette set. Crocheting baby stuff is an absolute treat. This features a jacket (because it's January), a hat, boots and mittens. I'm sure it won't be long until baby outgrows it, but it's fun to dress them up in this stuff at least once.
