Kingdom of Whales

One of my favorite toy in the studio -  is a whale, they are really beautiful animals and have great shape and body design! Usually I sew these fellows in maritime color scheme, but today I was thinking - may be I will try to make them of natural linen cloth...

My small succulent collection

We do not have a big garden now (but I would like to have - oh-ho! ), and I like mediterranean style very much - paved (bricks, mosaic) courtyard and ceramic pots, so I have got some vintage ceramic jars from thrift shops and invented them to be as a plant pots ) 
My blue collection, (oh - I am crazy about   AZUL CERAMIC)

Choila - PR manager

Time to tell about Cherry Garden Dolls PR manager - Choila. She is 11 yo cute cranky elegant independent white spotless pussy cat. 11 years ago she was very skinny tiny lost kitten almost between life and death surviving on eating bugs and spiders. Finally she was lucky to find one kind man to live with. First time after 3 weeks of surviving life she has got small piece of sausage and sleep on warm lap.  Soon she had skinny legs but a big fat belly and purred with happiness.  She was so small you could  her in the palm of your hand.  She liked to sleep on a bean bag curled in a tiny ball. Choila didn't like her new cat friend though and he was jealous of her!

Now she looks like that

Perhaps - I can not hold her on my palm anymore...

Yes, she works very hard as a PR manager in our studio, I always get her smart advices )

"Hey miss Cherry - we should make some plush birds also!"

After a few hours of hard work she has time off-
