this week was very busy with my brother visiting us here for the first time. I have finished working on a new pair of dolls, they are just missing a little piece of accessory like a scarf of some sort as the temperatures are still rather low over here. I myself can't live without one.
and our little fellow is 3 months tomorrow, time definitely flies too fast.
have a lovely weekend x
We got a new camera a couple of weeks ago and it took me that long to take it out of the box, browse the notice, take pictures, download them, etc.. I am not very good with new equipment, it always takes me a while to take it all in.
I found this book a while ago and was smitten by the birds illustrations, so much so that it inspired me to make my first postcard featuring one of my softbirds
well actually Julian did all the work ..
the postcard will be available in the shop early next month
I am also working on new dolls that will be taller than the usual ones. I am hoping to finish some by the end of the weekend.
have a good one x

Lucien is two months old today, he is doing fine and we are doing fine. I have finally finished to work on a few dolls for a couple of shops which has proven to be more difficult than I thought. the little spare time i have has been spent trying to finalize these orders and it has got me a bit frustrated at times.
There is so much (home) crafting i would like to tackle, clothes i would like to make, new creations i would like to work on - I do hope i can find a balance and a new routine soon.
Last week I popped in a charity shop and found this old clothkits kit. Clothkits was well known in the seventies and eighties in England for selling pre printed garment kits. It is relaunching at the end of this month and it will be interesting to see what type of garment they will be offering. I love that skirt kit, the fabric is a cool teal corduroy and the skirt has a nice inverted pleat at the back. this will have to be added onto my to do list.
Talking about clothing, Lynne and Melissa at sugar city journal make beautiful to die for garments for their children and made my day yesterday in giving me a 'you make my day' award. thank you both.
and I have finally added a few Babette into my shop . go and check them out!
have a lovely weekend x
