Yesterday I went over to my friend Rachel's house for a little sewing circle. Due to various commitments and calendar mishaps we haven't gotten together for a very long time. I missed going over to her house. It's very relaxing to be able to sew together, sip a nice cup of tea, and share a little bit of gossip. We're always so ambitious in what we want to accomplish but it ends up being more of a friendly visit than power sewing. We'll ask each other what one thinks about this-or-that color or fabric. Basically it's an exchange of ideas and our own private sewing cheer session. I was able to finish this little cutie. She obviously likes to get around via taxi cab. Otherwise she'd have a hard time walking in her pink bunny Mary Janes all across town.
She's from Hillary's Put-Together Book and has been cut out and just waiting to be finished for such a long time now. In fact, she's now a completed UFO from this list. One down, ten more items to go.
The taxi cab is a cookie jar that I found in TJ Maxx a couple of months ago. I like it because it reminds me of all the crazy cabs that I've taken in Manhattan. The drivers were all so different. Some were incredibly kind, others extremely talkative, and then one was especially weaselly. (He insisted that he didn't have change for a $10 bill and I didn't think that he deserved an $8 tip.)
I love your fabric choices. The woven as her body is a wonderful base fo the pink and navy, two of my favorite go-together colors.

I am going to try to make one or two of these for holiday gifts. How long did she take? She is absolutely beautiful!

The taxi cab cookie jar is awesome. Now you've launched me on a full time search to find one myself. Aiye....
