Newborn#7

Made this doll some time ago. I was going to use her for to show off clothes I`ve knitted. Then I got fed up when I was going to put her together. She`s just been laying there over 2 years. Decided to get her finish this summer. And I really made it ... WOW....

Finished painting, and over to the oven.

The fun part, and the last touch:Putting the limbs together, hair, eyes and eyelashes.

And finally some new clothes on. And of course a little bear for to play with. I am very satisfied of how she came out, and she is definately a doll I can use for to show off my knitting.

My old doll pram.

Found my old doll pram in my mothers attic today. I thought it was long gone. But here it is. The rope is there for to hold it up, so it would not fold it self together.  It is in need of some caring hands. So perhaps one day it is all shiny again.

Pusle Ratti doll

Ugly dry and frizzled hair. No comb could go through. Slack in feet and arms. Bu her skincolour is lovely. So I just had to to something about it. Forgot to take some good photoes of her before I started to reerot her.

Cutted off all of her hair :) 

New and shiny soft hair. I had to go for the same colur: black. All because her skin colour is so vibrant, And I think she looks like a Latino babe :) 

I struggeled some to sew new hair on this doll. The reason? Half of her head was wery hard, and the other half was soft. But I managed it at last.

First cutting, still to long.

Second cutting, and I will stay with this lenght. This time I had to cut it more carefully, and also cut it in some shape..

 Her arms and feet are also strung up, so now they are tight again.

 The only thing she is in need of now is a new outfit.... wonder what I kind of clothes I`m gonna make her :)

New dresses for Anne Lise

Made a dress out of my old shirt.Think it came out very well.

Earlier I`ve also crocheted a a dress for the same doll.

Nora #2 from Sandvika dollfactory

This little sweetie travelled all the way from Finland to Norway. A Norwegian made doll.
She is a little bit dirty, but she is going to have a real doll bath, and be dressed up. She is in a very good condition.

Anne Lise #1

I could not just walk by this little darling. She was in desperate need of  help, in any way. I suppose some little girl almost had once loved her to death.

Startet to get rid of all her hair, and take out her eyes.

Eyes gone, and the bulk in her forehead is gone.

Sewed on new hair, and putted in some new eyes.

The hair was still too long, so I had to cut it some.

Here she is. So pretty. With a new look and a new dress.

I suppose she`s feeling a little bit more comfortable now?

I have also crocheted the dress for her.

Old toys from my childhood.

I was on holiday at my old homeplace. Found some old stuff I used to play with. A lot was missing, but there was still some of my old toys left. Well used and well played with.

Had to wash and clean all of it.

 A little bit of this and a little bit of that..

 Some well used wineglasses. I remember that it was 8 of theese glasses.

Coffee or teacups, missing most of the plates.

One cup and 3 plates left. Theese were bought as a set of four.

Some pots and kettles...

An old baby rattle, missing the handle

 Another plaything with 3 pearls in... none were thinking of the small parts when I grew up... you can open up this rattlething, and the pearls can be swallowed by a little child.

Theese figurines were made so we childeren could make our own drawings. 

 

Sweater

The Autumn is closing in, and the days will be colder. 

So what else could I do? I had to knit some sweaters for the dolls just so they will stay warm. Newly knitted and made in babywool. Some of the sweaters got one strand of glitter in the pattern. Like on this pink one, the glitter tread is on the black background colour.

Some of these are for sale, send me a message if you are interested.

Tomme Lise from Rayco

This little adorabe doll came home to me today. She`s a lovely little baby doll.

Since the sun is shining and it is 22 degrees outside she wanted to use an umbrella just so she would not be sunburnt.
She`s almost perfect. Only some of her eyelashes are gone.
