Cabbage babies - Kohlbabies
















I did this pillow for a lady who asked for it. She is a midwife and this idea came to my mind.

In France they tell chidren that babies grow in cabbages and I always loved imagining that!

Ich habe diesen Polster auf Bestellung gemacht. Die Dame, die ihn bestellt hat, ist eine Hebamme und ich hatte bald diese Idee.

In Frankreich erzählen sie den Kindern, dass Babies in einem Kohlkopf wachsen. Ich habe immer diese Vorstellung geliebt!

    I love this! I love the cabbages, I love the pockets, I love the borders with appliqued flowers! It's so perfect for a midwife!

    Another absolutely lovely piece of art. I am so charmed with your little petite chous (spelling?), precious little finger puppets too! I really love your song selection, very entertaining! A fan from Virginia, USA

    I love this! It is so magical. Like Poppy said, it makes you wish it were possible to touch it. What size is this?

    Hallo Sara!
    Diese Kohlbabys sind ja einfach zu niedlich. Sie erinnern mich an die Kohlpuppen, die es einmal kurzfristig gab (korrekt hießen sie glaube ich cabbage patch dolls und kamen - wie auch anders - aus Amerika) Allerdings sind Deine Babys viel hübscher!

    I keep coming back and looking at this wonderful pillow. I love the ants. One of my favorite things are surprise details, and I love the little cabbages. So very very cute.
