If you've been around here for long you know we're a bit peg dog obsessed over here.
As in: I dare you to type "peg people" in the search bar to the right and see just how many posts come up. On second thought, don't. It a little embarrassing how many posts on the subjects I've written through the years. Goodness.
When it comes to homemade treasures, our house is brimming with peg dolls.
From zipper pulls to favorite necklaces, key chains to doll house dolls, mobiles to ornaments. There are even peg doll fairies peeking out from under the leaves of the house plant in our kitchen.
Really.
It's a shameless love affair, with just the tiniest dose of shame for overdoing it.
So when long-time Clean reader Margaret Bloom invited us to review her new book (and share a copy with you!) it was a a no-brainer. Our paint brushes were ready. We couldn't wait to see what Margaret had dreamed up for us this time around.
Making Peg Dolls and More is the second whimsical book of of Margaret's that we've had the pleasure to read.
Her first book, Making Peg Dolls, (which I shared with you back in 2013) holds a duly-earned place of honor in our craft cabinet and has been well loved by all the crafty folk around here.
Her new book picks up where her first left off, with inspired new projects that move beyond what the expected for peg doll crafts.
Working with peg people, other wooden bits, ribbon, paint, fabric, and other embellishment Margaret guides you through crafting wall hangings, mobiles, puppets, and other charming projects. Her ideas are sure to inspire the crafty people in your home for years to come. There's even a zipper pull project inspired by one I made for Lupine several years ago. (I'm so happy to see that project included, Margaret!)
Margaret was kind enough to offer up a copy of Making Peg Dolls and More to one lucky reader. If you'd like a chance at winning just leave a comment below. I'll close comments and choose a winner by the end of the week!
Comments are now closed. Congratulations to our winner Keri who said…
"What a lovely book! Would love to read it."
And if you win a copy or not, do save a place on your bookshelf. You'll be so glad you did.
Lovely! The first one is great! Thank you for the chance
This is something I know my 8 year old and I would love to explore together. Thanks for the chance to win.
This book sounds like it would be a perfect guide to use with my little grandsons. They are so naturally nurturing. Last night we gave our Gabriel a wool felt mouse for him to play with. He immediately protected it from the cats and when he went home, used a wee tin box to fashion a safe bed for it (against his cats..) Peg dolls sound like a great way to further the nurture.
I love peg dolls! Thanks for the chance to win!
I have A heart for all things handmade. I’d love to add this to my repertoire! Thanks for the opportunity!
This looks like a fantastic book to add to our collection at home. And to create with my 3 littles! Thanks for the chance to win!!

You don´t have that many posts about pegdolls in my opinion! They are great and I would love to use the book to make dolls since I have been given clues I am a soon-to-be-aunt! Nothing set in stone yet but I am so excited and want to start straight away in making babythings and blankets!
I’ve always wanted these books! I’m a peg doll lover myself!!
I Have four little girls who would love this! How fun!
A friend of us just got into turnery and guess what I ordered… my girl loves my (!) knitting doll collection just to play with so no doubt she’d love all peg doll creatures. Thank you!
Oh I have been drooling over this book!! I know my kiddos would love to make these with me. 🙂

Oh this book looks amazing! My 7 year old is learning how to knit and hand sew and loves making little dolls to go along with stories we read!
This could be the beginning of a new obsession
We loved the first book and can’t wait to see the new one!!
I have a collection of materials set aside that I add to regularly, but am apparently afraid to put to use! Some inspiration and instruction is just what I need to overcome my perfectionism and help my 3 and 6 year old make some dolls already!
Thank you Rachel for sharing your obsession and bringing it into my own home. I seriously melt whenever I see peg dolls and Margaret’s books are amazing. I have only viewed the book online and would love to have it in my craft room. Thanks for the opportunity and continued encouragement to bring peg dolls into ones life – they really do make it better 🙂
