Daisy

 hi everyone

stopping by to share another completed waldorf/mary jane tearoom inspired doll.

this little cutie will be winging her way to her new nursery very soon to watch over a beautiful baby girl.

this little cutie took me a while to finish and she looks gorgeous in her little pink dress (own pattern) and white cotton jumper (based on a MJT top down dress)

i thought it would be nice to share a small photo journal of Daisy's journey. 

my dolls always start with a coloured yarn in mind for their shoes and the colour of his/her hair.

fabric for her face is from:

Little oke dolls

i have managed to create semi perfect eyes (a first for me)

her wig is adorable (large loop mohair from Little oke dolls)

pattern for the body is from: Mary Janes Tearoom

yarns used for her body are from:

the knitters attic WYS 4ply 

toft

and

eden cottage yarns

Daisy has been filled with natural wool filling

her features are created using:

DMC embroidary floss

bees wax crayon

and i have added a green and pink headband

Daisy has been hand sewn (including her dress) from start to finish.

as always i like to give a shout out to those that inspire me on my projects:

North coast dolls
Susan Hickson: mary jane tearoom dolls

lalia dolls
dear little doll

little oke dolls
to name a few.

thanks for stopping by, enjoy your weekend

and craft happy. Ann

new outfit for Rosie

 good morning everyone

popping in with a qickish post

sharing a new outfit i have created for Rosie

whilst i am a fan of Eden Cottage Yarns (4ply)

i saw the exquisite coniston fingering yarn on her web site the other week and i decided to buy a hank (100gms)

i have to say i am in love with the quality, colouring and finish this yarn has produced.

it is on the expensive side for dolls clothes and if i am frugal enough it should make up to 3 to 4 decent outfits.

thanks for stopping by.

enjoy your day and craft happy. Ann
