Bendy dolls and Rock Houses

 

After making my sister the bendy zombie little J couldn’t keep away from it, so I whipped him up a bendy Captain America and a Pink haired girl, he chose her colors, for Litte E.. however, it quickly became apparent that Little E was not going to get her doll back..

While up the canyon taking our family pictures Little J’s Grandpa made his dolls an AWESOME rock mansion at the base of a tree, Little J played there for hours!!

 

Heres the first home, which Little J claimed they were making lunch in, and then they would take a nap.. 🙂

 

It was truly magical seeing him have so much fun playing in nature, Im going to severely miss these mountains when we move, especially now that it is the most beautiful season of them all.. Fall… *sigh*

 

Zed Day!!

So my sister saw my Zombified family ornaments and requested her own Zombie for her upcoming birthday.

       I decided to try adding a body so I decided to try a bendy doll pattern that I need for Christmas.

I added some gory bits for a more life-like effect.

There is some nice intestine action…

Here she is in her ‘ ALIVE ‘ state and her ‘ ZOMBIFIED ‘ doll.

 

Halloween in September

Time seems to go by diffrently for a SAHM with kids to young for school. You start to measure time in an “ish” way.. a good example would be ..” Halloween is close…ish”. I didn’t think twice about starting on ornaments and even went so far as getting Mr. Wiggs to pull out the Ol’ Christmas tree. Then Little J and I have been getting our Halloween on since. That was two weeks ago. I decided to make some ornaments that are our family but ‘ZOMBIFIED’, as well as spiders, frankensteins, and other scary creatures.

 

I have really been wanting to make some Candy Corn Wigglets but we will see if it is in the cards for our month.

What are some of the Halloween activities you look forward to this spooky time of year?

 

Forgotten..

 

Found this poor lad abandoned on a picnic table up the canyon. My little J thought he was the bees knees and took him ‘Fwihing’ all over the playground. He doesn’t really care for stuff toys, but little plastic action figures and cars… he’s all over that! I really wanted to adopt him, as little J was having so much fun adventuring with him, but decided to leave it there in case his owner came looking for him. I got a message after putting this pic on Instagram that it was a Mcdaunalds toy.. go figure. He did have eyes that closed and opened. Ce La Vie…

Presenting Kiri

 

Ignore her dribbling, she climbed onto the counter for a mid- sewing snack. Kiri is a tester doll I made using the talented Julie Colby’s, from Inviting play, 18″ waldorf doll pattern, found for sale here~

This was such a fun girl to make! I learned new techniques and I really love her size! I did use a stretchier fabric so she is a little big boned.

 

She was able to stand until I added the mass that is her hair!!

 

But we do love her ❤ She is a family doll and I look forward to taking her on many  of our family adventures!

 

She hopes they aren’t as embarrassing as this incident.. adding fluff to her bum for more sitting support 🙂

And we just love her spunky personality and sweet demeanor ❤ She is getting on very well with the other dolly friends in the house. Rogue is particularly thrilled at having a friend her size to get into mischief with :/ mostly good mischief though ❤ Thank you Laura!!

 

Magnolia, An Ice cream Shoppe girl

Magnolia is a girl who finds the beauty in the little things… a red balloon on a sunny day, the way the wind feels rushing through her hair, the sound of rain sprinkling on her window pane. She also loves the way the light sparkles as it hits the water on the lake she passes on her way to her favorite place, Sandy’s Ice cream parlor. The colors of the different flavors remind her of a pastel rainbow and she breathes in the wonderful aroma of freshly waffled sugar. Her favorite flavor is strawberry. Andy the scooper knows her by name and always puts a beautiful, red, balloon-like cherry on top of her pretty pink scoop. If you would like to welcome Magnolia into your life you have to promise to enjoy with her those little things that make this big life beautiful… and buy her an ice cream cone or two..
Magnolia is made of a beautiful sunkissed colored cotton interlock and stuffed with clean carded wool. Her hair is the most beautiful shades of purple, pink, blue, and white thick and thin handspun yarn,http://www.etsy.com/transaction/83691446 . She comes wearing a pretty pillow dress of Michael Miller children at play fabric, ruffly leggings, and felt shoes, she will also bring a felt strawberry ice cream cone with a cherry on top.

Miss Magnolia is still looking for a home ❤

RTG

The last doll I’ve been working on is a RTG-Ready to go. She is a sister to Two, a custom for a friend.

 

She is also inspired, background wise, to one of my favorite places in the world…

 

 

 

I love how she came out

 

And now.. for a proper introduction..

A bear for Little Miss E <3

Miss E has a nickname that I find to be the cutest, Bear. I’m not sure why it came about, or stuck, but I wanted Little Miss E’s first bear to be special! I myself grew up with a Teddy Bear who was my best friend, and slept in my bed with me up until I married 5 years ago. I’ve been meaning to pull her out and give her a breather! Little Miss E’s bear was made with a pattern from Jenny Loves Benny- cutest patterns EVER!! BEWARE!!
