Congratulations to you all!
We ended up drawing 12 names because my children, who were picking the names out of a hat, didn't want to stop! And, I didn't mind, because I feel ready to make another batch of these to stock my new Etsy shop with -- yes, I am setting one up at the moment and I shall hopefully open it shortly... So many of you have very kindly shown interest in buying these babushkas, that I decided to fast-forward my plans of setting up an Etsy shop! And, here lies another reason why giving away 12 babushkas seems like a very good idea to me: all of you who read my blog and leave comments on it are such an amazing source of motivation and inspiration to me, that thanking you with this giveaway is the least I can do...
I am so excited for you that you are going to open up an Etsy shop! You are incredibly talented and I predict you are going to have a hard time sewing fast enough to keep up with the demand! Wishing you huge success!

I absolutely love your work. The dolls are amazing.Can't wait to buy one!!! Like you, in all the pre Christmas madness I didn't even have a minute to look at blogs properly and leave comments, so felt I now must, finally. As a fellow textile designer, I find it so inspirational to read all these wonderful blogs. To think I shunned the computer a few yeas ago!!! It inspires me to hear of someone so busy with a large family who manages to juggle work and family. I only have one little one of my own at the moment {hopefully another soon!}, and I look after a couple of children, a few hours a week, and it can feel like a struggle to get into my studio. Keep creating so we can all enjoy your beautiful work.
Much love, Catherine.

Ok, I am so mad at myself for not entering this. The dolls are adorable. I want one! I have been wanting to make a tea cozy like them. And I haven't been able to figure out exact dimentions yet. I posted this on my blog last month as a must do item

I love your dolls and I want one and I want to make a tea cozy. Anyway would you put one up on etsy for me when you get them made and any suggestions about making a tea cozy would be helpful. Thank you and I hope to hear from you.
