My last custom dolls of 2013

Can you believe that the year is now almost over?

It has been a busy one for sure.

These have been the last dolls I made before and for Christmas.

All 3 stayed local.  :)

For this sweetie I made clothes in more natural earthy colors .

The bamboo wool is still one of my favorite wool to work with.

I need to find more of it.

And here my last pocket baby for 2013.

Love the orange/purple fabric combinations .

 Here now also my last custom 12" cuddle doll for 2013.

 He's a little cutie for sure!

The give away winner doll is ready to go home

 This is the doll I made for the give away winner.

 Her hair can be styled in many ways.

Hope her new mama likes her too.

An upgrade !!

I'm so excited !

Last week I got my new (to me) Bernina930 .

Many of you will not get my excitement, but that's okay.  :)

This is her!!!!

 I started out on a cheap Singer sewing machine 

 Sewing mostly baby slings at that time.

Then I got my husband's grandma's Kenmore 10 that she had used for many years .

I liked that old machine and still do. 

It's a solid no nonsense machine and was able to sew through 3 layers of terrycloth!!

Lately I felt like she is getting a bit tired of this type of sewing and I'm sure she was not made to sew 

pretty much every day for the last 10 years. The tension was acting up too and that makes things

very frustrating for me.

So I put the word out for some ideas on what to get for a new machine and my friend

Barrie highly recommended the Bernina 930.

Guess what? I bought it off Ebay!

That was somewhat scary. n

No it WAS scary!!!!!!

I sold and bought for years on Ebay, but NEVER spend that kind of money ever!!!

Well I won the auction and the machine arrived extremely well packaged and in great working order!

I'm so happy ! 

Funny , just now do I feel worthy to get a really good sewing machine.....

tztztztz...*shakes head* 

Silly me!  

Now let's see what this baby can do.....

Have a wonderful day!

Pirate time....

I had a custom request for a pirate a few weeks ago and was really looking forward to make him.

I'm happy to introduce to you this little pirate .

 His eye patch can be removed and he can show you his pretty grey eyes.

The cutlass and belt are made from wool felt .

Gosh, I had so much fun making him. 

I need to make more pirates.....

I also made a pirate out fit for his sister doll.

Dress , eye patch and hat.  

:0)

Facebook likes and give away

My facebook page is very close to 1000 likes .

That is a huge milestone for me and I want to thank everyone who is following me,

 by having a give away once I reach that 

magical number.

Since Christmas and the holiday season is getting close , I thought it would be nice to 

have the give away for a custom made 12" Velour Cuddle Doll.

You could pick the skin , hair , eye and body color and what color you would like for the clothes

Doesn't that sound like fun?

I need your help so that I can start the give away!

Thank you already !

I appreciate all of you!

Fall Play....

Fall is here and it's beautiful!

Kids love to play outside in the leaves and run through the woods.

Why not bring some of that magic inside in form of some soft  safe ,natural leaves, mushrooms, logs and tree stumps?

If you are using them as a play set , decoration or for a nature table.

 With little gnomes ......

 .....or for your dolls to play with.

The possibilities for your imagination are endless.

Did you know the mushrooms come in different sizes and also with a heavy bottom so that they can stand?

My play log has been featured on the Little Gatherer 

Sweet little Hanna

 This is sweet little Hanna.

Little Hanna is one of those dolls that makes me happy every time I look at her.

I don't really know why, but she does make my heart sing!!!!

I'm sure a big part of it is her cute face

but the colors must have something to do with it too.

Everything works so well together. 

Her reversible dress, the jacket and the pink hair band, well and of course the hair....

Little Hanna found a new home and is looking forward to meet her new family.

Custom girls

I got to make 3 custom cuddle dolls for a local lady recently.

2 sister dolls and one for a niece .

She fell in love with the purple matryoshka fabric and so each doll got some of it ,

either for body fabric or as dress.

 

I love how they turned out.

Faces, colors and all.

This is the other side of the reversible dress.

This little girl turned out to be very cute as well. 

The little pig tails give her just that little extra sweetness.

I sure hope this dolls make their new mamas happy.
