Cute Knitted Baby

This little sweetie is about 7 in long

She is the perfect size for a 2 to 3 years old

Picot Edging on the bonnet

I've been collecting knitting patterns for a while making various things for a box for my future grandchildren. 

This litter sweetheart will be added to the box or given as a gift for someone in the future 

Happy creating 

Been busy SORRY!

 Little Miss Lily

I have so busy making things for the showcases I am in on Facebook that I havnt had time to  get to the Tilda Ballerina Tutorial.  I will get to it ASAP as I have just finishe them all.

Little Miss Lilly is made using the Little Red Riding Hood fabric by Riley Blake.. just beautiful

 I handspun this wool and then knitted it up.

I say this is a Two in One - Poncho or a Skirt. 

I needle felted the flower and then did a crochet edging around the bottom

This is a handspun New Zealand woll Baby Beanie I made out of thick and thin yarn.

It is a cozy snuggly little beanie

Then I made some headbands out of NZ Merino that I handspun and dyed recently.

So I have been busy busy.. 

I will get to the Tilda Doll on Thursday morning and hopefully get the photos up for you.

so sorry about this

LIttle Miss Princess

I created this little cutie yesterday

She is approx 8 in tall.

I really loved making her. Her dress is removable. She has lace undies with a hand embroidered rosebud. The necklace is also removable, I made this as I was dressing her up and the ideas were flowing . Her hair is in a bun and wrapped in netting.

I will be making these dolls on an on going basis and they will be available for custom orders. I am looking at making the necklaces different... with crystal droplets and maybe letter charms. 

My little girl is 7 years old. This morning when she woke up I showed it to her. She held her and danced around the house like a ballerina.. so cute! She was doing pirouettes with Miss Princess's legs... it was such a delight to see my little girls face.

Have a great day

Meet Miss Molly and Miss Daisy

Meet Miss Daisy

I have used vintage lace, french braid to make her dress.

The flower is a Riley Blake Sew Together Flower...also on the dress..  (on my website)

 I have a few new ideas for this year. One of these is making and creating my own doll designs. 

After reading a book recently about creativity I realised that I am best to put my efforts into my strengths and passions.

What are my passions:

Embroidery

Embellishing

3D work

Yo yo's

Sewing

Ribbon Embroidery

Dolls

Fabric

Lace

Drawing

Painting

Fibre Art

Knitting

Crochet

Clay

Braids and Ribbons

Tilda

Fabric

and of course many other things

These things make me excited. They make me passionate. Put me in a room full of these things and see what I can come up with. I LOVE using all the things listed above

I am going to have these on my website ... not these little gals but others.. they will all be One Off dolls. Some will have the same face but their outfits will have quirky differences. 

Miss Daisy

This little lady is named after a little girl I know who has ginger hair.

The dress is made from Lecien (available on my website) The crochet shoes, hat, flower and the pansies I made. The thread used for the pansies is a hand dyed yarn from a New Zealand hand dyer.

I am loving the diversity I give myself permission to have, in making these things that delight me! 

Have a great day

A little OOAK baby

Precious sleeping baby

If you love OOAK dolls like me, these little darlings just make your heart swell.

Little Lydia, named after Lydias Treasures, is a little sweetie.

She is made from a special skin coloured clay. 

I will have these OOAK babies available in my webshop, Etsy and Facebook soon. As these are handmade no two are ever alike.

Little Lydia has a silk ribbon rose on her blanket.... her blanket it made using Minky. She is approx 3in in length.

I must say I am delighted with her.

Little Angel Doll

My latest little creation.

I created this little sweetie yesterday. I will offering these for sale (no two will be alike) over this year. There will be an option to hang them on the Christmas Tree, with a hanger provided.

She is a free standing angel doll all made by hand. 

She is holding a folded felt rose

and has a folded felt rose in her hair.

My creative mojo is back in full force and I must make hay while the sun shines, so the saying goes.

I hope you are having a great day.

Latest creations and....

Hi all, I have been a little quite lately

Ive had a bit on with organising my website.... we are on the final leg of this now so it shouldn't be long before we are up and running.

The above photo is a sneak peak and another design I have been working on.

More to come on these cute Babushka dolls

Lovely Michelle from It's Sew Me lovingly stitched these up for me for the front page of the pattern.

They were a trial to see how they looked.

When I opened the package and saw them I was so thrilled with how fantastic they looked.

Thank you Michelle for a job well done... I am just so excited with how they turned out!!

I am in the Santa Sack Swap this year. My partner is Michell from Michell's Place

I made this bag from a whole piece of fabric. It is a cylinder. Inside is the two gifts I sent off with the sack. I enjoyed making the sack and the gifts also. This is a very fun swap indeed!

Below are some photos of the doll kits I will have on my website.

All my favourite's with more to come.

One of my favourite Tilda Dolls

This kit has the two santa's in the box

I LOVE this santa!

I have other things I have been working on but just haven't taken the photos as yet.

I hope you have all been busy creating yourself..

Hugs

Babushka Doll

This is my latest creation Babushka Doll designed  by Lisa Tilse from The Red Thread.

I purchased her at the craft show I attended just over a week ago.

She is the cutest. 

She has blonde hair and blue eyes just like my little girl. I bought another face. The other face has black hair and blue eyes. I am going to make her into a doorstop. They are a good size and would make the perfect doorstop for a little girls bedroom....all you have to do is put a bag of sand..stones or rice, to weigh it down. 

I still have to sew her face on properly, I will do that tonight... and I will add a 3D felt flower to her hair...I just wanted to show you what Ive been up to.

I also purchased Lisa's pattern Roxy Long sox. She is kind of cute too. 

PS.. the Part 2 of the Tilda Bunny Sew Along is below.
