Sarah & Lynsie

Sarah is all ready, clothes been decided and she was just waiting for her friend Lynsie to arrive from Australia. They been chatting all the time and I think they will be missing each other very much when Sarah leaves tomorrow morning.



Sarah decided she wanted to take her red dress and asked me to do her a apron so she can help her new mummy preparing the meals on the holidays.

She have a very sweet nightgown that matches her purple hair and a cardigan for more chilling nights.

Of course she wanted matching shoes for both outfits!













 Ohh Sarah, I'm already missing you!

Sarah

This is Sarah, she is made from waldorf traditional pattern and she is 30cm tall.

Her hair is handspun merino wool super soft.














  Today I made 2 dresses to Sarah





Dont you just love the kittens printed in this fabric?


Its from Chloes Closet Lil' Rascals Collection for Moda.

I haven't decide what set she will dress for her trip to USA.

She might use the kitten's dress with the pink crochet cardigan.










Or she might go with the red dot dress maybe with a cute apron (still to come).








Have a great weekend everyone!

And here is Sarah on her final look!!

DIP - Dolls In Progress

This week I been working in my 2 dolls, one 30cm (12") that its part of a swap and a new 40cm (16") doll.


Every doll I start I learn something new and I love to evolve during the process. Yesterday I done the best eyes I ever done before and I was very happy with them, they are a major improvement to prior trys.
Of course sometimes its hard and frustrating when I can´t achieve the look I want, and then I can rely on friends like Daniela that was ready to lead me and help me, showing me and helping me when today I got a litle bit lost. Thank you Daniela!

Today I also got a temporary craft area in our bedroom. My husband have already planned on how he will build a craft area for me, but that will take some time so today he set a long desk were i can sew in one side and have my cutting mat in the other, another major improvement for me! Thank you husband!
