Growing up, my Grandad always referred to me as a "monkey" - and oh, how I loved my Gramps! He could get the whole lot of us grandkids giggling till we cried with his sweet antics and wonderful disposition.
So when the idea came to me about this doll , I found my mind wandering back to those awesome days on "Mitchell hill" where my loving Grandparents lived - reminincing about my time with Nan and Gramps and the sweet nicname my Gramps always used when he talked to me.
I was blessed to have them in my life - both of my Grandparents left a mark on my heart that will never fade ♥
Pippa will be featured on The Humble Arts come Feb 1st. Be sure to stay tuned!

Looks like Gramps' little monkey grew up to be quite the talented artist! Pippa is precious! Especially how you have her hair in the dogtails!!
What a beautifully and inspired doll! I love it!

Hi friends, thanks for the kindness re: Pippa.
Yes, Robin - I love this shot of my grandparents and had hubs scan it for me this morning. They were the most tender, loving folk and I'm so thankful that my foundations were built around their example.
OH Cookie..she looks like you!!! What a little sweetheart!
My gramps called me chicken..isn't it funny the names they give us :)
Hugs,
