Tassel Dolly Stories

Stories to accompany the Tassel Dolly Cross Stitch Kits and Charts from SpangleJangle.

An introduction

This is me, Delyth with the Daffodils, conscientious and kind, I would like to think that I take my 'eldest sister' duties seriously but between the daily chores I do enjoy hours of light hearted mischief and laughter. I am writing this blog to tell the stories behind the growing number of Cross Stitch characters that make up the Tassel Dolly family. Created by Pam Wilson at the SpangleJangle studio in Cardiff, Tassel Dollies Cross Stitch designs are lovingly created and stitched for someone special, taking on a life of their own. These stories are designed for the children who either stitch or receive the Dollies as presents, however, anyone is invited to share in their adventures. To see all the Tassel Dolly Characters visit our website

Before I tell you more about myself I would like to introduce you to my Cross Stitch sisters above, on the harp we have Myf or to use her proper name Myfanwy. When you introduce Myf to anybody it is always followed by 'Pardon' or 'Sorry' .....you try saying 'Myf' to someone without getting a totally blank look, the person usually just walks away insulted or confused after thinking you were rudely speaking with a mouthful. Last but not least of the 3 sisters is Rhiannon (Rhi) with her pet sheep Burt (he is English, believe it or not), russelled from the borders between Wales and England by out of work Salmon poachers from Shrewsbury. Rhi saved the poor frightened sheep after a little incident in the rose garden of Dyffryn House in the Vale of Glamorgan, but that's another story!

Watch out for the next installment - How Cardiff Castle got its new roof !

Happy Days!
