WHO IS WOLLY?
Well, I'm Wolly. This is what my husband has called me since college. We have no idea where the name came from but for the last 20 odd years I have been Wolly.
In 2002 I started Wollyonline, an online shop where I sell my digital doll patterns. In 2020 I had been fostering kittens for a while and I wanted to do more for the foster kittens and I realized that the Wollyonline proceeds would make a great donation for a good cause.
So I teamed up with Shannon Blake to establish the non-profit Wolly Kitten Club to support foster kittens in Houston. Now 100% of pattern sales are donated to Wolly Kitten Club.
Cheers,
Christel Dekker
