WIPW - Preparing for Hina

Work In Progress Wednesday, here we are again. A week passes so quickly, have I managed to make any progress?

Freeform Embroidery
I added two stitches, both or them were learned years ago in the TAST online course run by Sharon of Pintangle.
The stitches are Detached Buttonhole Stitch, and Barb Stitch.

Tvistsöm Cushion
I have just completed row 32 and will start 33.

Hina Dolls
It is time to add three more Hina Hanging Dolls to the mobile.

If you don't know what I am talking about read about Hina dolls here.

I have picked out the fabric and started making the paper patterns.

Now what will I be making, do you think? The hints are: an autumn plant, the animal of the year and something from the sea.
