Happy Feast Day, Saint Therese!

 

 

First off, a very happy day to everyone

and happy feast day to Saint Therese of Lisieux, the Little Flower!

 

 

 

Here's a 'real' picture of lady of the day

(obviously not a real photograph, although those do exist)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and here's my felt doll of Saint Therese.

She was one of the first dolls that I made.

 

I made her with a slight sense of urgency for a couple reasons:

I love her (and that would've been enough),

a lot of other people love her (I got a lot of requests),

and there are a TON of resources for children and adults on Saint Therese, so she is fairly familiar to people who may not have a strong devotion to one (or any) saint in particular.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I feel very blessed that the response to the saint dolls has been so positive,

and I have been getting more and more requests for new saints everyday.

For that reason, I haven't had a heck of a lot of other things to share with you (but I'm NOT complaining!)

:)

 

So here are some of the saints that I've been able to complete since I first shared the Catholic Saint Dolls with you...

 

 

 

Saint Bernadette

praying her rosary.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Saint Joan of Arc

ready for battle.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Saint Cecilia

patron saint of musicians

tuned up for her jam sesh.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I love her flower head band.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and the latest addition,

after a flood of requests from you people

 

Saint Maximilian Kolbe

another one of my faves.

 

I was unsure for awhile how to do his hair,

but ended up just using felt, and I'm pretty happy with the result.

 

However, I have to mention that the most difficult part of this one was getting just the right degree of receding hairline... is that inappropriate? probably. but it's true.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anywayzz,

I love hearing from all of you

and I especially love that so many people are psyched about the saints.

 

I have gotten a SLEW of requests for Saint Gianna (no surprise there).

 

What other saints would y'all like to see?

I have a list going and would love to hear your thoughts.

 

Also, for all of you thinking about ordering for Christmas, I will have a cut off date which I'll be posting to my Etsy shop soon. Keep in mind that these are made to order after purchase, and are completed in order of purchase. :)
