Poppenliefde

Today we went to the Royal Stables. This year is the first time the Royal Stables are open for public for a few days in August. You have to purchase a ticket and all tickets are already sold. So we were lucky to get some. Especially because Silver loves horses. And how special is this.

Lately I'm knitting more and more for the girls. It's something you can do everywhere and especially in the evening while watching your favorite movie.
I don't write patterns....yet. I think I can do it, but it's a lot of work. So for now I used some lovely patterns you can find on the internet.

Schoolbreak is going on for 2 weeks now and the weather in the Netherlands is amazing. Lucky us.
We are still not sure if we will go on a holiday. We may go to England for pleasure and some business.
Our little girl is on a sleepover and we decided to have a bbq (we have them a lot lately). And roasting marshmallows brings some sister/brother love.

Little Bloom is a custom little girl. Her momma loved Bloom so much that she also wanted a girl like her. And yes she looks like Bloom and her momma calls her Bloom too, but she is totally different then her sister. Just like us we are all different, in looks and personality.

I must admit that all the girls I create are sweet and soft little girls in my mind and it's hard for me to imagine that they would do things they are not allowed.

I always add a little sachet with dried lavender with the dolls. It smells nice and it keeps away the moths from your woolens. Although I love lavender, especially fresh in my garden. I'm not very fond of dried lavender alone.
So I did some searching on the internet for natural mothballs. And I came across these ingredients:

Have you heard about the first European Waldorf Doll Seminar. It's on the 30th of April and the 1st of May.
I will give there two kinds of workshops. Weft making and sewing doll clothes.
I received the wonderful locks where we are going to work with. The colors are lovely, they are wonderful to work with, are soft and they even smell good.

There she is Liv. Did you know my youngest daughter's name is Liv? And if they are both the same, then this little Liv will be a handful. Liv is sweet, she gives you hugs and kisses. Brings you little surprises like drawings.....a lot of drawings. And some little snacks. She loves to take care of you.

When I first showed a glimpse of this kind little spirit her mom immediately knew her name.
Nora. But what she didn't know is that my daughter Silver also has Nora in her name. How special is that?

I know it's a little late but Happy Valentine's day. I hope love has reached you and you gave some love back. I got some lovely handmade cards from my kids. And my love gave me some beautiful tulips. What more can a wife and mother wish for.

Three weeks ago I decided to do the Make Film Course of Xanthe Berkeley's. I made a stopmotion movie of Meadow's clothes. Ok, with an Iphone and that laying on a doll bed with another dollbed on it (yes really). The quality was bad, but I loved it so much. When doing the course I decided to buy a new videocamera. Hopefully to make little movies of me as a doll maker and to capture family moments. I would love to have the Canon 5D MIII. But he who doesn't. But I have a good camera and decided to go for the more affordable Canon G7X and a tripod.

My first try was at a birthday party at my nieces. She has such a cozy home and this was the perfect moment to figure out my new camera and the different angles.

I have to admit I changed the movie a little today. More shots in it and different music.
