If you’ve been visiting Planet Penny for a while you may remember that last year I had some fun with Dolly Peg Dolls and Dolly Peg Angels, and there is a ‘how-to’ in pictures in the Tutorial section of Planet Penny. Well now it’s all in print, as I made this little lady…
for a tutorial in the October issue of The Dolls’ House Magazine! And it’s out now!
Please excuse the fact that I’m very excited…
I think I’m going to have to make some more. In fact we are having and Angels and Light Festival in our local church in the run up to Christmas, so I anticipate making several little Dolly Peg Doll Angels for that occasion. There also some little ladies for sale over on Etsy!
The robins have been breeding well over the last week, it must be the weather…
…and some more little robin wreaths are available on Etsy now…
I’m gradually getting into the swing of things after all my sorting out. I’m so tidy and organised now it makes all the difference being able to find the bits and pieces I want, long may it last! Anyway, for now I’m going to leave you with a link to Handmade Monday over on Handmade Harbour, and take my poor neglected little dog out for a walk now the sun has come out at last. I’m getting that ‘look’!
See you soon….x

I like the look of the angel. Are her wings made from leaves? Very cute, and the robins too.
Congratulations on getting into the magazine. Does this mean you can expect people walking up to you with a pen and magazine in hand and asking for your autograph? 🙂
How great to be in print – no wonder you are excited! I’m sure lots of people are going to have fun making your peg dolls 🙂
Brilliant news about the magazine – well done! And the robins are just adorable.
The peg dolls are lovely, I bought some pegs a while back with the intention of making dolls with them- maybe I’ll get around to it inspired by your article!
Love your Dolly Pegs, they are popular at the moment, I’ve just finished a batch for my next fair. I like the way you have dressed your little ladies.

You are so clever Penny, is there ever an end to your beautiful talents? Big Congrats to you for this well deserved recognition and I must say that I was just thinking about Peg dolly’s that I made, inspired by you last Christmas as I scrolled back through my blog. I think some new ones will definitely be on the cards this year.
Love Higgins’s non verbal language, it speaks in volumes and so well captured in your photo. Keep warm…there seems to be a wee chill in our Sussex air ad blessings for this coming week xox Penelope
ooooh congratulations! i bet you’ll be getting lots of requests for your pretty peg dolls now 🙂 I particularly love the angel, she would look so cute on top of a Christmas tree!
your robins have been breeding! i’m sure they’ll all be flying the nest soon though 🙂 x
Wow! How exciting being published!
The robins are adorable, I bet they are a great seller for Christmas. SO cute!
Fantastic news about the magazine. Must be great to see yourself in print!!
your robins are just so sweet Penny and Higgins is just the cutest! x
My Grandma used to make the most amazing dolls from dolly pegs, I must get them out and do a blog post on them. Yours is adorable and how fabulous to be published too.
The robins are gorgeous and I love them on the wreaths. So festive, but very simple too.
I have always adnired your robins. Such cuteness.
Congrats at the publication.
How exciting we have another published crafter in our midst. Those little robins are cute.
Well done on being published. Your robins are so cute….

Fantastic Peg dolls Penny, well done. I think the robins will be a great seller.
Thanks for sharing!
I especially like the Gibson-Girl type hairdo on that gorgeous little dolly.
Wow! You’re justly famous! Congratulations and may we see your name splashed over the pages of many more magazines. 🙂
Those robins are so darn cute. And Higgins has got “the look” down pat – pleading with a hint of pathos.
Congrats!!!

Love the dolly peg. Reminds me of being a little girl, we used to make them at school. Not to that quality tho! Well done getting into the mag, i’m not surprised you’re excited!
They are lovely Penny, and very well done on your published work. Always love your robins, very cute. Hope you have a good week.
Wow, congrats on the magazine. It must have taken ages to do a tutorial?
Brilliant! What a great achievement, well done you! 🙂
Very cool to be featured in the magazine. I do hope you bought a copy to keep and treasure. Joanna x

Those dolly pegs take me right back to when I was little and used to make them. And your robins!! Too cute for words!
We made a crib scene when Lucy was tiny with peg dolls and it survived quite a while before it finally gave up the ghost, thanks for the trip down Memory Lane x
I’ve kept moving down your page and each time saying ahh. Like many commentors you peg dolls remind me of my childhood. Although yours are much posher than the ones I made. I love the robins, so cute. And your dog looks so sweet. Thanks for sharing.

Haha! I know ‘that look’ … except in this house there are 14 eyes turned upon me!
LOVE the little Peggy 😀
Love those dollies and the cheery robins. Poor Higgins – those eyes say it all – Walkies Please!
Ah wow, well done for getting in print, that’s ace. The robins are fab.
Ah peg dolls takes me back to rainy day playtimes during school holidays. That is such a cool project and great to see a fellow crafter in print.
As for the robins… I feel a pinning moment coming 😉
Penny, they are lovely. Congratulations on getting into print. And thank you for the picture of Higgins, bless him.
