A little more time, a little more money...

These girls showed up in my blog feed tonight. I am in love.

I wish I could make some of them or one of their babushka dolls! I had stuffed strawberry shortcake pillows as a girl. I would love to make these friends for my girls.

Alas, the artist is located in Australia. I have a feeling that Australian shipping and money conversions would not fit into the remains of my Christmas budget. But I can drool...

Tell me what girl wouldn't want to snuggle these?
