Ladybug - a 50cm high natural cloth doll by Puppenka

Although everything is quite here, and even on my Isnta and Facebook page, there are a few things happening in the background. First of all I have attended a sewing course, to improve my doll clothes making techniques. I learned a lot, really. Small trick and tips, that helps to make my finished dollclothes cleaner. However, I have to say, the most important thing I learned, is that I have to be much more precise and patient, by eminence when cutting out the little pieces for the clothes. This is difficult for me, since when I finally have some time to sew, I want to do twice as much as I can or even more! But that won't work of course. So I have to slow down a bit, ease on the urge I feel, and admit to myself how much I can do during a given period of time.

Currently I'm working on a little boy. He already has a future papa. It is going to be a long and slow process I know, since I have only 5 weeks left before my baby is born. Working on him helps me to be relaxed, such a pleasure to see a little one forming in my hands, and knowing that a little one is growing inside me as well.

Lonka and Simon will get new clothes. A little collar dress with cherries and berries for Lonka, and a comfy fishing set for Simon. This time I bought the patterns, and I'm very exited to see how these will fit on the favorite rascals of mine.

I have 4-5 minidolls started, I plan some of them are going to be strawberry-babies, but not everyone for sure. Somehow I want the to reflect the seasons, so there are going to be summer dolls as well.

I do have baby sewing and knitting projects as well, I have to finish some bedsheets, baby-socks and baby-hats as well. I'm trying out patterns that I would use later on to create accessories for clothdolls as well.

The photos of Netti and Ladybug helps to make this post more pleasure to the eyes, they really deserve proper introduction, I hope you can read about them soon.

Have playful days!

My babies

I know everything was quiet here for a while. It is time for me to initiate you into a little secret of mine, our second little son is on his way! He will arrive among us by the end of June. So this little new baby I'm expecting, and his 1,5 year old brother kept me away from my wool-children, and I fear it's going to be like this for a while. I decided to take no deadlines at all, just make a stitch here and there, when I have a tiny bit of time. So hopefully I'll be able to make one or two dolls and also can find some time to show you them in appropriate blog-posts.

Before Christmas two little rascals were made. I hope by now they have proper names, for me they just go by the beautiful names of their mamas. I hope in some time, I can introduce them properly, here in the blog.

Ladybug (in Hungarian Kathlin can be fondled like that) is a 50 cm high blond little girl, with a great enthusiasm over color red.  

Netti is a small doll, she is only 25 cm high, has a beautiful light hazel-nut hair (my first ever Dolly-Mo mohair wig), and steel blue prying eyes, Netti is an always inquiring little girl.

Since I have a huge motivation, that roots deep inside me, to create dolls, you will always find some little natural cloth dolls here for sure. Making dolls is the most charging activity for me to satisfy my creative thirstiness, which means it's a must for me. I just can't promise a schedule now, I want to work on these little fellows without pressure on me, while my main focus is on my two little sons. 

I hope you will hear more about these to girls soon!

Have playful days!
