Baby Waldorf Dolls

Last Christmas I would not have imagined that I could give my children toys that I had made myself. I’m just thrilled to have found the inspiration to do so – much of that inspiration was found here in blogland 🙂 So a big warm thank you to everyone for sharing!

So here is a sneak peak at some of the Christmas presents my kids will be receiving…

For Little Miss Q

This baby Waldorf doll was inspired by Rhythm & Rhyme. Master D spotted me making it and said he loved it, so he gets one too 🙂

For Master D

His is actually made from the beginnings of a jumper I was knitting for him. But because my knitting needles were acquired to be swords – not once, but twice! – I gave up on it in frustration. I’m so glad I kept what I had done because it adapted so well to being a doll (and I’ve learnt to put my knitting out of sight!).

Another for Little Miss Q

Here is another baby Waldorf doll, this time inspired by The Gnome Craft Book.

I can’t wait to see their reactions!!

Warm wishes, Kelly

A little bit of this and that

Over the past week I’ve been jumping from project to project. So everything is part way done, and gets worked on depending on who is awake and around!

Part of my rainbow of gnomes is ready to sew up – red, orange & yellow. And green is next 🙂 I’ve decided to sew them all up at the end, rather then someone working out what they are along the way, shhhh 😉

Sneak peek

Another knitted bunny is ready to be fashioned out of my green knitted square.

Oh, and I got sidetracked by knitting some simple ‘sleeping bags’ for some new Spring Flower Gnomes that I have just made (post to come).

Apart from knitting, I’ve got other handmade items on the go. So, what with all this crafting, it may not be surprising that I haven’t done much reading. But when I do have a spare moment I’ve been enjoying ‘A Game of Thrones’ by George R.R. Martin.

Joining in with the Yarn Along 🙂

Warmly, Kelly

P.S please excuse the poor photos!
