*new OF for Wanda Wonderfrog

i used the last free week in april to crochet some dresses and salopettes for wanda wonderfrogs

the dress fits as well Wanda and Middie Blythe and is a simple fit to slip in dress.

The salopettes / trousers were really fun to made. 

 The frogs eyes are little felt circles with black beads and the mouth is glued on felt applique

 marine style is always in-style in spring and summer - also little frogs want to wear in-style swimming suits!
i love the early 20´s swimmsuit style -  looks so cute on frogs :)

 

hope you like the new items, they are available at my etsy shop It´s a Tafetta Day* from now! :)

*felted sheep

as promised, i have made a few more dresses for the frogs the last week. but first, i had a long promised comission to complete:
this is the easter present for Mr. P

this sheep has been wet and needle felted. the body encloses a stone which has been wet felted, the head and everything else is needle felted and secured with a few stiches to the body. because of the weight of the stone, she is really stable to stand and can also be used as a paper weight or even as a door stopper. you can´t tell it by the picture, but she is actually quite big and heave.
the wool comes from Alpinen Steinschafen, which is an endangered and old breed of farm animals in the Alps, especially in Bavaria and Austria. i purchased them from our local farmers market.

isn´t she cute? haha! i have the feeling a whole herd of smaller sheeps will follow soon!

*a day out

Mr.P and me planned a day hiking in the mountains, but weather forecast was telling rain and thunderstorms, so we decided to stay in the sun instead and went to a little excursion to the Isar.

*Toysfield KUMA

Kuma lives already for quite a while in our little family.
She is a Toysfield Kuma. I was really surprised, how flexible these dolls are. It´s so much fun looking at her sweet face and pose her! There are endless possibilities it seems! And because of her big feet, she is able to even stand on her own on only one leg.
She reminds me of little *Pluie > always happy face, always smiling :)
Resumee: These dolls are really adorable. ^_^; I am smitten.

 

a few weeks ago, we took her on a trip to the Staffelsee where Mr. P and I took a nice walk around the lake (well, nearly).

*Wanda and Middie dresses

after a long break it seems for me, i finally crotcheted two new dresses for the shop.
 They are fully crotched, fit to slip in with no closure in the back.

 

 made for Wonderfrog, i figured out they fit Middie Blythe quite well too!
The blue ribbon is recyled rement ribbon attached with fabric glue. i thought something was missing on the dress until i found them. i only had two of them, so this will be only two dresses with them.
Hope you like them, they will be listed in the shop this evening.

 one week left before university starts again. planning to make a few more etsy listings.
will keep you updated.

*Strawberry & Cream Cute

 Last week, a new blythe arrived. She is a cooperation between Junie Moon & Emily Temple Cute.

 This is her still in box. i love the packing.

Her outfit is really cute. i like the blue navy stripes with cute strawberry skirt. What you can´t see in the pictures, she has a really bright light blue eyeshadow. Beautiful!
She also has special eyechips and long eyelashes like Dear Lele Girl.

I decided for me, this will be my last Neo Blythe from Takara. I have to stop lurcking the news section. I don´t want any more Blythe dolls. i feel i have enough. I have a big dolls family now and i am happy with them, but i feel like i am bonding less with every new girl coming into. i want to spent more time with them. It is not possible if they are too many. So, this girl will be my last one.
I still want a Kenner in my family and a Kozy, but this are only plans for the future. I will go slowly with buying Blythe dolls now.
I don´t want to only look at them and see them standing in the bookshelfs, i want them to be characters who come out and play with me. By not buying any more new Blythe dolls , I can treasure my dolls family more from now on :)

Her name is Haruko. Because she is the girl who came in spring :)
