” Hi, my name is Ruby Cherry-Berry and I love growing veggies and baking cakes. My favourite things are flowers, strawberries, cherries and bees. Especially bees, because without them I wouldn’t have my other favourite things.
I love to play in the garden and do a little weeding, but the best part of gardening for me is the picking bit. Picking flowers and picking veggies. The pretty and the yummy.
I always wear an apron when I bake as I’m quite a messy baker. I usually leave the kitchen looking like I’m the one that’s been tossed in the beaten eggs and rolled in the flour.
I’ll often hum a song as I wander about twirling in my favourite bee skirt.
I love to collect little treasures from the garden like pebbles and feathers, so a woollen cardy with a heart shaped pocket is the perfect cardy for me.
And because I love flowers so much I like to wear them whenever I can, these wooden flower buttons are my favourites.
My friends are Rufus Rad Rabbit and Heartface Bunnykins and my dream is to make a little girl very happy and be her bestest friend. “
Ruby was made with love, during a crafternoon with friends where cute monsters and other softies may were started with caring and generous hearts. (Some speedsters even finished the same day – I’m looking at you Sandra!)
Ruby and some of the other crafternoon creations will be gifted with love to the ‘Softies for Mirabel‘ for this year’s softie toy drive. I just love the fact that I can contribute to the community in a crafty and meaningful way. I hope that a little Mirabel kiddie will feel all the love and friendship Ruby Cherry-Berry has to give when they hug her.
Wishing you all the sweet stuff… love and friendship and cherries and cake.

She is adorable! I love that you’ve given her a backstory as cute as she is!
Aw thanks lovely Lila! It’s funny how these little softies reveal themselves to me as I’m creating them, it’s such an enjoyable creative process. 🙂
So much care and detail. Absolutely charming. I want to give her a hug. 🙂
Thanks so much, I want to hug her too… though I may or may not have already done that! 🙂
oh my you are so clever! She is amazing! I love the pocket for collecting treasures, she sounds like a girl after my own heart.
Thanks Rachael, I love a pocket myself for collecting bits and pieces and she to have a heart somewhere on her, the pocket seemed like the perfect spot 🙂
Oh my goodness, Ruby Cherry-Berry is adorable and I think if I was to meet her, I should love her very much. I love that she loves bees!
Oh Sarah your kinds words are very much appreciated… bees are pretty ace aren’t they?! 🙂
What a beautiful little character you have created. How kind of you to donate her. She will fill a little boy or girl’s heart with so much love and fun.
THanks Robyna, I hope she’ll bring a little boy or girl a lot of love and friendship and lots of hugs! 🙂
Ruby Cherry-Berry is just gorgeous! I love that she has such a detailed history and personality. I’m sure whoever is lucky enough to share her company with adore her too x
Thank you Karen, you are so sweet! I had such a lovely time thinking about who she would be an what her history was before I made her, then adding bits as I discovered things like the cherry fabric and the strawberry fabric. 🙂
