paula's hobbyhouse

hi, i'm paula

i've been making things for as long as i can remember. dolls, paintings, embroidery, sculpted little houses out of clay and moss. anything i can shape with my hands.

everything in the shop is something i made myself, usually over a few weeks. nothing's mass produced, nothing's printed. if you want something custom, the commissions page has pricing.

thanks for stopping by the hobbyhouse.

love, paula

got something in mind?

tell me what you want and i'll quote you. custom dolls, portraits in thread, painted pieces, whatever.
