Sara Lechner is making these wonderful dolls - click on the picture to go to her flickr page and you can see their cute faces :)

Sara has a blog called The Fabric of Meditation, I love what she has to say about these sweet dolls "I'm getting the hang of these little creatures... They pop in my head and I must run to the sewing machine..." And you can buy Sara's work from her etsy shop.
