Santes Dwynwen and Valentine

Santes Dwynwen is the Welsh patron saint of lovers and her day is January 25th and then Valentine's Day will be here before you know it.


This little Corn Dolly is about 17cm/7ins deep (without the loop) and will be going onsite shortly.

I wanted a the heart shape which a double loop provides but didn't want to make the more usual Mordiford Dolly.

A Surprise Order

I had a number of orders for Corn Dollies during August to October but an order for this one plopped into my mailbox on Friday night - I suppose it's going to someone for a Yule/Christmas present.



It's about 26 inches from top to bottom and the problem with posting the larger dollies is finding a box to fit. Fortunately my last order from Gracefruit had been sent in a box which was just the right size - so I've just posted it off with reused space-filler stuff and fingers crossed it arrives safely amongst all the Christmas post.

I used 200 or so straws - so I'll post the cut off ears to Elizabeth at Gracefruit for her hens!
