Oh oh oh. As you may know I made a little family of mini wool babies, but now with little legs and feet. They already went into my shop and all have found a wonderful warm home. Just in time for Christmas. Who could imagine that they would be so loved. I'm honored and grateful for all the love and support!

 

And a new wool baby is born. Ugh my heart. This little baby was waiting for her hair to grow and I hoped it would take some time. But she got so so much hair and curls. Aah she looks so much older now, but don't get fooled, she is still a baby.

This little girl is custom made and she already traveled to her new home.

Mini wool babies. I make them for a long time now and they stay as cute and adorable as can be. So I decided to make a whole family of them. So this is the whole bunch together. For now. Because of the high demand (I'm so so grateful) I'm working hard to make more of these sweeties.

Ofcourse we all need a close up, so here they come:

Meet Ginny, Rose and Sandy

This is little Fall

Little Snow

 

Nederlands: Ojee ojee. Ik zie gewoon dat ik het hele jaar nog niks geplaatst heb. Terwijl ik toch wel al wat popjes heb gemaakt. Maar eerlijk is eerlijk niet zo'n eentje als deze beauty.

Ik wil je voorstellen aan Juni. Zij is een pop gemaakt in opdracht. Wij zijn samen op zoek gegaan naar haar haar (en echt dit is het zachtste haar ooit). Stof voor haar jurkje uitgezocht en ze moest ook een gebreid vestje hebben. Ik ben heel blij met hoe ze geworden is. Alles aan haar is gevilt (behalve haar handen). Haar vasthouden is dan ook echt een genot.

English: O dear, o dear. I just saw that this is the first post of this year. I have made some dolls this year but to be honest not a doll like this beauty.

I want you to meet Juni. She is a custom made doll. Together with her mama we searched for hair and fabric for the dress. And this hair is amazing (it's the softest ever). Her mama also wanted her to have a knitted cardigan. I'm so happy with how she turned out. I needle felted everything (except for the hands). She is really a joy to hold.

 

Hello dear people. It has been a long time, but I did find some time to make all these little creatures.  All the dolls will be available in my Bigcartel shop this Wednesday the 4th of November at 8 pm EST (3 pm New York time).
https://poppenliefde.bigcartel.com/

You can already take a look there and see all the information about the dolls. I hope you can find something you love and will consider giving one of them a loving home. Have a wonderful week!!

Allereerst wil ik iedereen heel veel gezondheid en sterkte wensen in deze rare en spannende tijd!

Dit kleine popje is op aanvraag gemaakt, maar er zijn er ook al een paar bijna klaar om op zoek te gaan naar een liefdevol huis. De popjes zijn een beetje verzwaard met fijn glas granulaat. Het zit veilig in een extra lijfje in het lijf.
Ze hebben allemaal een gehaakt pruikje van mohair en een nicky velours lijfje gevuld met wol. En ze hebben beentjes!

Stay safe!

All these lovely dolls will be available in my Etsy shop tonight at 20:00 CET

The bigger ones are approximately 28 cm tall and the pocket dolls 13 cm.





You can also find the PDF knitting pattern (English) for the Moon cardigan in my shop tonight.

I made these two little ones for a lovely lady. I love how she selected the colors. They are almost home and I can't wait for their momma to meet them. Happy snuggles!!

Hello there, are you still here?
This is my first post this year. But after a little break I'm getting back slowly.

A little break sounds like I had a lot of fun, doing a lot of other things. But no. I don't want to call it a burn out, but maybe it was.

As you may know I had problems with my shoulder. It's probably the cause of a fall on my shoulder during skiing two years ago. I had a lot of pain for months, lack of sleep, migraines, pain killers, injections and no rest. And then I got some other physical problems too. Eventually I lost my spirit to do anything. I had no feeling with dolls anymore what so ever, no creativity at all. And then the stress came. Now what.

I had to learn a lot about myself these months. And now things are going much better. My creativity, my urge to create is coming back. I still have some off days, but now I accept them and that gives a lot of peace. My shoulder still isn't fine and it will probably never be without injections or an operation, but for now it's oké.

I always doubt to tell something personal here, the not so good things. But life is like that.
I want to focus more now, getting to find my inner child again, because I lost her a long time ago.

So there will be dolls again and once in a while I will share a recipe with you. These recipes will be healthy with a minimum of added coconut sugar. I would love to hear if you would like that!
And maybe, finally I will send out a newsletter, because a lot of you subscribed. Thank you so much for that!!

So what's up?
Well at the moment I'm trying to finish some private commissions, because these sweet people are waiting for a very long time. One girl is here with me all naked, with curls like a wild forest. Waiting for the fabrics to arrive to make her a smocked dress.



But in between I'm also working on some dolls for a shop update.
I already made a few pocket dolls, but I want to add a few more to the family before they will be for sale. Some will have bodies that are natural dyed, others with organic nicky velours. There will be a few with non organic nicky velours. I don't want to waste any fabric (better for the environment) so I will use it until there is no more.
