Market Day

 Today I took all my babies and SaMu goodies down to the waterfront to Manly Craft Markets.

We were so lucky to be right next to Ken, the cookie man, who was our personal Santa Claus today.

he gave us so many cookies and little pressies for Miss A., that she whispered to me “Mummy, I think he is the real Santa Claus”.

 Here are the babies all set up, watching the scenery.

Many many people marveled at them, took them in their arms and dropped them a bit frightened when they saw the prices, lol.

One day the right mumma who is ready to adopt one of them will come along. I am sure.

 Cozying up in the bassinette.

 Sitting on a chair with the SaMu deer-lings.

 Miss Ciara amongst some SaMu dolphins and elephants.

 All the dolls together.

Wishing you a happy Sunday, and maybe you want to tune into SaMu’s (my) big Facebook shopping night?

Here is the link.

Christmas Dolls united :)

 Today I finally finished all the hair and made dresses for everyone!!!

They are all so excited before Christmas and hope to find new homes before Theresa flies to Germany for a month (beginning of January).

This is Ciara, a 12″ doll.

 And Lily, a 15″ doll.

 Zora is the tallest of all with 18″, her red fiery hair is a real highlight.

 May I introduce: Rebecca, a 12″ beauty.

 Mirabell is 12″. She is the fairy amongst the Christmas dolls 🙂

 Ellie is also 12″. The only blonde this time 🙂

Sophie is 12″, she is just so pretty.

I am going to take better pictures in the daylight on Sunday or Monday, but these pictures show off at least a little bit of the prettiness and joy of these little ones, I think.

Wishing you a wonderful wonder- filled 4th advent weekend!

More hair!

Today this little princess got her hair.
Due to a lot of orders in my ebay shop, I was busy tracing and cutting iron on transfers and the hair for the other dolls and dress sewing for the babies might hopefully follow tomorrow…

I think I will be up early watching the Bamboletta Doll upload and might try for one myself…

Lotsa Love!

Red hair

This little one got her hair today 🙂

She is a 12″ dollie.

Tomorrow the other ones will get their hair and maybe the clothes too…

And another beauty with red/ dark brown hair.
She is a tall one with her 18″.

Looking forward to picking up my goodies from the Belle Bazaar Boutique tomorrow too.

Hope you are having a splendid day!

Work in progress

Many new little friends will be born soon.
15″, 18″ and 12″ dolls.
I finally got the super soft and lovely fabric from Germany for the skin and fluffy sheep wool from New South Wales.

I also went shopping for lots and lots of woolen yarn for the hair.
One more little dollies to stuff and then they all get their hair and eyes and will be ready to get dressed for their first photo session 🙂
Oh, how I love this process.

Hope you are having a fabulous time!

A new bed for the dollies

 When I woke up I found my lil one like this.
Her three little “sisters” as she calls them and her sound asleep 🙂

 I brought a doll bed home from Ikea and Miss A. was determined to assemble it herself.

 She did a really great job, I only helped with the screws.

And now her 3 little friends can cuddle up in the new bed.

Doll Heads, Books and Trips

Today we went to the library and Miss A. insisted that her dolls would come too.
2 trips carrying bags, beds and baby doll carriers to the car and we were good to go 🙂

Here is my new “doll bible”, the book by Maricristin Sealey explains beautifully how to make a Waldorf doll.
Includes patterns for 10″, 12″ and 15″ dolls, blanket babies, clothes etc.

I am still in the process of making new dolls, no finished friends to show yet.
This is how the inner head for the dolls look like 🙂

My crazy crafty corner in the lounge room. All good to go for the night with mini DVD player and headphones.

Hopefully more pics in the following days with some newborn doll friends…

Til then

My daughter’s sewing adventures – Doll blankets

Yesterday, my daughter wanted to have some cuddly pillows and doonas for her dolls Aniana and Annika.
So I told her to measure the dolls and draw a pattern for the fabric.
She did all this by herself. I helped her to cut out the fabrics and then she sewed it all up at the sewing machine. She stuffed it and finally she closed the opening with a blanket stitch.
Can’t tell you how proud I am of my lil bubba 🙂 (she is 7 now and as tall as a 9 year old ).
And she was so happy and proud herself.
She said: “Mum, maybe I can help you with your sewing, I am really good at sewing straight seams now”.
We’ll see… 🙂
