let´s get romantic

i have been working on this hat the last days.
However, i am not yet satisfied with the pattern yet.
i expected clear edges on the corners between the top and bottom part of the hat, however, it turned out to be a smooth transfer instead.

pimped it with flowers and lace and but for all that it turned out quite cute.
Berry at least seems to like it, she looks like she is expecting some romantic date now.

*Tiny little dresses

*octopus love

i try to get more crafty again, so this month first project is this little octopus

A cute and fast little project. I am unsatisfied with the eyes however. But i didn´t have any pearls or similar beads at my hands the time i finished him. He is now inhabitating my bathroom. :)

*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!

*Josefine

Josefine is a very shy little bear. Usually she is hiding in the woods. you can only spot her if you find her red ribbon on the head.
Today, she came by for a little visit.
Such a lucky day!

She has a little belly, don´t tease her with it, she will get very sad if you do.
She likes yummy mushrooms and berries so much!

*Needlefelted with the wool i got last weekend from the local farmers wool market :)

*the return of the puchi muse

thanks to Pomponette, who asked me for a comissioned dress for her ACB (until we found out, that the dress was still listed on my etsy.. lol) i feel my petit muse coming back.

I havent worked on Petit Blythe dresses for quite a while it seems.
I was often looking at my fabric stash, thinking what i could do with it.... but.... nada.
not a single idea came into my mind. i think i am kinda bored from always the same fabrics, but it´s really hard to find cute and tiny printed patterns here. i am jealeous of all those people around asia, who have easy access to those wonderful craft things. ordering through the internet on the other hand is kinda annoying for me, although there are sooo sooo many beautiful fabrics to purchase. I would even travel all around the world to Japan, only to hang around in Tokyu Hands again and go on a big shopping tour.

But anyway.... i already have some new ideas in my head again!
Kukki looks so great in this lovely polka dot patterned bright yellow. bringing some summer feeling back into my everyday life which was filled with too much rain this year.

Isn´t the little tea service just adorable? i purchased it together with the wire-chair.
It´s Reutter Porzelan dolls house miniature.

*long waited WIPs finished

today i finally finished these two small but very different projects.
first of all: when you look at the pictures, you are not colourblind.
If you see a lot of blues and whites in the pictures,
yes, i used the same backgrounds in them. ;).
I was too lazy to change >_<;

let´s move on to the projects:
The first was a little Matryoshka stiching i started month´ ago.
but the linen was very small and since the time the stiching was finished i was wondering
what to do with it.
I finally gave up and made a simple little needle pillow. i have to admit: i had no better idea.
It now hangs on my sewing machine and is actually quite usefull there.

The second projects is this little dress for Wonder Frog Wanda and/or Alice Cherry Blossom.
The second (the second!) sleeve was missing for already quite some time.
Adding the sleeves was quite annoying and boring.
After finished i attached a little bee sticker and secured it with fabric glue.It looks quite cute on it, don´t you think?
It will be added to the shop some time this week.

last but not least, what made me choose this background is the dress from tomorrow.
i wanted to shoot some pics for the shop. Yesterday evening was already too dark in the room to get some decent pictures and colours of the dress.
Will be adding this dress to the shop too, or just sent me a message if you are interested. :D


I still think Merry looks quite cute in stripes.
Will make some more dresses in this design.

*carnival

i altered the pattern from the cream white dresses a bit and out comes this.
Do you like it?
I am planning to do more.

*cream white dresses

i worked on new patterns and tadaa~
these little dresses/long tops came out.
working with the fabric was just great. it is a soft cotton and has such a a lovely cream white colour with small white flowers print.
i made three of these. And although all might look similar on the first sight, they are a little bit different to each other the way i attached the little batches of antique lace on it.
They are also great for Valentine for the girls with the little heart ribbons, don´t you think?
please check out my etsy and artfire for them

*a little bit of love and WIP

Hello everybody,

today was really cold outside. Although just about one week ago it was so warm outside that the flowers started to bloom again, the winter came over us all of a sudden last weekend. Now fields and streets are covered with snow and you can see your breeth while beeing outside.

I used the cold days to finally get back to my own sewing machine. what came out is this little pouch. It is made from a really beautiful antique dark linen fabric with blue stripes. i added some lace and button for the cuteness and even embroidered a little heart on it.
It remembers me of the Shabby Chic or Country style . the inside fabric is a cute polka-dots cotton print fabric from Japan.

It has been added to the shop as well as the below two projects which i already made a while ago but always missed to update them. Hope you like them!
It´s a set of 3 crochet doilies in beautiful snowflake colours and a set of four coasters for the table.

Last, but not least, two ongoing projects. i made one of these flower pincussions which are always beautiful and you might have recognized the little embroidery piece below. It´s already finished by now but i still have to decide what project i will use it for. Curious now? ^_^


Love,

This is a sweet little dress set for your Petit Blythe dolls in pretty autumn colour.

I have a lot of fabric from HobbyHobbyra which i store here for already 3 years. It is all so cute and i am kind of afraid to use it. ^_^;

Delicate places of the dress are handsewn as always. Using the machine for it is impossible for me.
