fun stuff and crafts

pretty lazy day

Very cute! You are so fast and creative! Box off in the mail to you yesterday. Fabric and Doll clothes! Ruth

I have not got any waldorf dolls without clothes..... I guess I better quit playing around and get down to the joy of creating for kids.
I got side tracked learning the new styles in face sculpting and armature building on the lady dolls.
I will get some heads sculpted tomarrow after church. Love you

They are all so cute. Peg, you are just leaving me in the dust! I really love the mushroom pincushion too. Ruth, I'm sending shoes, clothes and sweater to you tomorrow. Talk to you both in the morning. Happy Sunday, Love ya. Linda

Ready to go out

She can't decide if she should have chocolate or

rocky road.   Hmmmmmmm

better look out and see if we need an umbrella

She has to watch the rain for a few minutes.

Wow,  she is giving me a look!!!!

Ok Peggy,   She is so FUNNY!   I love her.   Her sweater, dress, anklets, shoes, hair,  every thing is perfect.   I think you should do more of these.  She is so one of a kind I love everthing about her.  

She cracks me up.   How did you make her sweater?   and hair?   and was she fun to make?  Love, Alyce

Hi sis,  Have not heard from you for awhile.  So glad to know you are still with me.....LOL

These dolls are very labor intensive and take several days to make.  The good news is:  every time I

look at their faces I crack up!   LOL

they are a joy for me to be with.   The sweaters are recycled fabrics from old sweaters as are most all of the fabrics I have used on them.....  Almost all of the supplies have come from my stash.  the stuffing I have changed to a different maker.  It is fairfield and very silky.  much better quality and does not separate like other stuffings.  Including wool.   The hair is actually handmade wigs of human hair.  I did purchase these. but the results speak for their self. 

I am so very happy you like her.

I have another with dark brown hair that will be completed in a few days and I will post her.

Love you forever

peggylee

Hey guys, I found the perfect shoes. They are exactly the right size and come in six different styles. What do you think? Linda

They are perfect!!! I think we should get more of these. Black and brown seem to be the most used colors. I'll look at the outfits I have and let you know what I could use. Ruth

I really like them..... did you find the tennis shoes? and what did you have to pay for them? I think these are gonna be perfect for the summer line of clothing. What are we gonna do for Christmas?
peggylee

They are 0-3 mos size and I found them at WalMart. There are two different colors of tennis shoes and 4 or 5 different girls shoes, including some pink sparkly ones that Katie found for me. The tennis shoes are in blues or browns. The girls are flowered, pink, blue and white sandals with a flower on them. They stay on really good, but all have velcro and Katie was able to get them on and off by herself. Let me know what you want and I'll make another trip. Linda Oh yeah, they are $5 a pair.

Kind of a raggedy ann doll face.

New Companion doll from Ruth's Book

She was very fun to make.

I kind had a hard time with her dress and adding the lace,,,,

but finally figured it out.

thanks Ruth.

They are kind of fun to make, especially the faces. Now that I know about wig caps I would probably do that on one of these dolls. Ruth

Tall Tom and a few pin cushions

We woke up to blizzard conditions this morning, so that meant a project day. Now the sun is shining on 5 " of new snow and the sky is blue and it is so BRIGHT OUTSIDE! So, had to make a few pincushions and dress Tall Tom!!! Here he is dreaming of sunny summer days!
now I know you can not use all these pinkeeps---- what's going on...... me thinks gifts are involved!  LOL  (pretty sneaky Ruth).........

Funny boy!

OH MY HECK!  Who says you can't make dolls?!  He is just as cute as can be!
Will you make me one just like him!  And his fishing pole and fish are just to die for!
The redchecked shirt and denim pants are perfect.... what a hoot - the patch on his knee is just the right touch!
And his straw hat is great!  I think prolly I would rough up the hat a little.  you know make it look like he has takin it fishing lots o times.  maybe even hang some tackle on it.  But he is very cute.  I am so jealous! He turned out awesome Ruth!
 love you peggylee

She's ready

To Go To Church

I think she could use a brooch and I am making her a handbag.

Other than that she is done. Oh yah, and snaps on the back of her dress.

Here they are together.

Aren't they just the best fun!

What a HOOT! They are so fun!!! Ruth

she needs her sweater

To Go Outside

This Gramdoll has been so much fun to put

together.

I think I'll make another!


Absolutely Adorable!!!! I love her! You should be designing original clothes and Dolls! Ruth

Next step in the new gramdoll

OK, undies and slip are almost to be done!  



I am NOT the Doll Maker

I either need another lesson in dollmaking or give it up altogether and let Peggy the Master Creator make the Dolls. This is what happens when you cut the fabric the wrong way on the grain..... you get a 20" doll instead of a 16" doll. Jolly Green Giant! Ha!!!! Sewing clothes is looking better and better! Ruth

Well, I think he is as cute as can be  I love his long arms and legs!  I can't wait to see what he looks like with his clothes on!
Don't give up..... I will write all the instructions down and then I'll come over and we will have another class!
Love you sis.
Our girl Mary Ann says "He's the older brother!"   LOL



Linda's cute pinafore!

I shortened the pinafore just a bit to see the bottom of the dress and added trim. Cute outfit Linda!!!

Finished clothes

Here's a few finished clothes.

AAAACCCCCCKKKKKKKK

I know she's got no clothes,,, I know she's got no eyes

(so she can't see she's naked!)  LOL

                 But I just couldn't stand it.... I had to share what Frump looks like during her creation!

I am loving this doll!  I am thinking Jill Maas is so my hero!

She is the creator of this doll pattern and I want to be like her when I grow up!

Two more

We need two more names

please.....

well we have mataya and alexis but you better mark them so i can remember. i'm feeling like frumpy grump tonight. linda

Thank you Mary Ann for leaving your comment!
I like the name Megan too, that is how come we alread have a doll with that name.  LOL
You are awesome.....  
do you want to name the next one?
Just leave us another comment and you sure can....LOL
Happy to have you aboard!

 

next shot

I haven't made any sox for her and I can't finish the detail on her eyes

until after all the purple is gone.  So a couple more days before she will

be done. Then I will have the good camera back and

I can take some better shots of her.

she reminds my of Grandma Nyberg!  LOL

She was really fun to needle sculpt.
