We spent the weekend at my husband’s parent’s farm. The weather couldn’t have been more glorious, we spent most of our time outdoors working in the garden, plucking ducks and pottering around.
New doll
In the shop now! 15 inches tall, beautiful alpaca and merino hair. She has knitted leg warmers and a pet butterfly. She was a real joy to make.
HAPPY EASTER!
Waldorf boy
New doll in the shop today!
I’ve used that gorgeous mohair for his curly mop and knitted him some woolies (its almost winter here after all!)
Natural Kids Treasury
How exciting, one of my dolls has been featured in the Natural Kids Treasury, you can check it out here.
“So little to do, so much time..
wait – reverse that!” The famous words of Willy Wonka. A coin purse kit from Nicole Mallalieu Design .
Their customer service is excellent, by the way.
Lovely wool parcel from Stokesay.
I couldn’t believe how quickly these came in the mail.
I’m also working on 2 dolls and clothes, a quilt for one of the girls, still tweaking that embroidery and knitting some bears. Wish me luck!

A nice surprise
So here I’ve been whinging about my lack of doll sales, now I’ve sold 2 in 2 days! So today will hopefully consist of starting some new dolls and maybe finishing my embroidery (which incidentally has somehow become a wallhanging).
A big thankyou to all my customers and others who support my crafting efforts, its so lovely to be rewarded for what you do!
And the winner is………
Making waldorf dolls
I found this interesting post on low long it takes to make a waldorf doll and what work you put into it. It can be disappointing when people won’t buy your dolls unless they are cheap, they just don’t seem to realise the time it takes and the money you outlay to get the materials in the first place.
I’ll be back later today to draw the GIVEAWAY winner.
