Custom Pirates and Ninja's

My latest custom order has been for little pirate sister and brothers and little ninja's. For this order the customer wanted bags with drawstrings so I came up with bags with the same pirate fabric, but different top edges so that the boys know which one belongs to them.  

 Little pocket pirates are just so much fun to make.

I can just imagine the adventures they will have together.

With the pirates I also made them these two ninja's

Gosh it has been a long time since I made ninja's.

Maybe I should make some more....... 

Little custom grandma pocket doll

This little pocket doll was a very special custom order. She is a grandma and hopefully she can help a little girl get over her big loss.

Dolls like that can be tricky. 

You want to get it right and so you put a lot of thought into it. I'm so honoured that I was able to create what the customer had in mind even without a visual. 

 

None of the hair types I used on pocket dolls before made sense for this oneuntil I thought of this curly mohair. It turned out just perfect.

The little jacket is made from a recycled wool sweater and has embroidered edges and a few French knots .

I have to say I'm just in love with this little doll !

A custom pocket doll set....

Look at these 2 cuties!

They were a custom order for a very patient lady.

Oh those sweet little faces.

I have not done this kind of hair due in a long time and still like it .

He's so cute! I want to make a big version of him.

The open hair is very cute, but it's very time consuming because it's such a small wig.

Oh, but I love that little bed head!  

Well this was a fun set to make and I hope the little ones that will play with them have a ton of 

fun with them too.

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!

A new pocket baby....

Here is my newest pocket doll. 

For some reason I really like blue eyes on them.

She is listed in my Etsy shop.

Have a wonderful day!

Another Saturday.....

Market stands are a thing that is in constant progress.

After seeing my pictures from last week I really felt it needed some improvement.

I'm already much happier with the layout.

Some new items were added, a pocket pirate and gnome with mushroom hat , 2 owls and a couple of bunny blankets. 

I will post some pictures tomorrow.

At the market....

Saturday was my first day on the local farmers market.

It's a bustling market with your local farmers and businesses selling produce, honey, maple syrup, baked goods, gluten free products,wool and wool products and a good variety of crafts.

There's also always some entertainment in form of music, face painting and balloon animals for the little ones.

I'm very excited to sell my creations now locally as well.

This is my stand with brand new banner from Wilson Graphic's on Etsy

 It still needs some work and I have already some ideas for improvements, 

but I'm glad that I made it this far. 

 :)

I'm looking forward to next week.

If you are in the area, stop by and say hello. 

Pink Pocket Babies

 These two are a custom order I just finished.

A lot of pink cuteness!

Very cute if you ask me, but then again, I'm very partial to these little dolls!

Just love making them!!!

♥♥♥♥♥

Have a wonderful day!

A little pocket gnome....

Pocket gnomes are really my favorite thing to make .

Not sure what it is about these little guys.

They are only around 3.5 inches (8.9 cm) tall and fit perfectly in your hand.

These little gnomes can accompany you everywhere because they fit in your pocket or bag.

They really like to see the world and go on adventures.

I wonder where this little guy will go and what adventure he will have.

He is still waiting in my Etsy shop for someone to take him out and about.

News from my sewing room...

These days I don't get to spend much time in my sewing room, but I was

 able to make a few things after all.

 I love how this pocket baby girls turned out.

She's so cute with her little flower hat.

SOLD

I also made this pocket baby boy with the multi color bag.

The multi color fabric has been in my stash for years and I love how bright it is.

Great for unisex and boys items.

SOLD

This pink Mini Baby also made it into the shop. 

SOLD

 This red pocket baby has been my last custom order for the time being.

I decided to stop taking custom orders at this time.

Do to my new day job, that I love, I only have limited time available these days

 to be creative . Taking custom orders would not be fair to the customer since I never know how much time I have to work on an item.

At some point in the future I will offer customs again, I'm sure, so stay tuned. :0)
