Marvelous Miniatures
Artwork by Margaret Crossland
Story by Michelle Flores

Margaret Crossland’s marvelous miniatures never fail to bring a smile to the face and a spark to the heart. At two inches tall or less, the crocheted dolls also inspire looks of amazement and wonder.

Neva Waldt celebrates and pokes gentle fun at the frenzied holiday season with Gertrude, who finds the perfect holiday wrap in an outrageously charming Christmas tree costume.
