Waldorf Baby Doll

Months ago I was lucky enough to win a baby Waldorf doll pattern from Adirondack Patterns.

(thank you Laura and Julia!!)

And since Little Miss Q’s 1st birthday is just around the corner I got sewing *smile*

My favourite green jumper was transformed into baby’s body, after I snagged it causing a ladder.

And apple fabric seemed just right for baby’s hat and heart ❤

I was a little nervous creating baby’s face… although I’m pleased with how he turned out

{don’t you think he looks like a ‘he’… a very sweet little baby boy}

Making Little Miss Q’s doll was such fun *smile*

And we think he is something she needs

❤

Candle making

We use a lot of candles in our home *smile*

…one each dinner time…

&

…one during Dino Boy’s bedtime rhythm

So it didn’t take long to use our poured beeswax candles!

For something different we decided to try rolling some…

And it was super easy to do!

We laid the wick along one side… with close to an inch poking out…

then rolled the beeswax sheet over it… and kept on rolling

Then I remembered that we had some modelling beeswax hiding away *smile*

…what better to decorate our candles with?

We warmed the wax in our hands and enjoyed the sensation as we molded it into shapes

And the sweet scent filled the air

We loved how they turned out so much that the Nana’s were gifted one each….

So guess what?! We’ll have to make some more 😉

Happy crafting, Kelly
