Simple yarn dolls!

Greetings,

I wanted to make some quick  and simple dolls to unwind myself. I found these cute easy to make dolls on piyali’s craft zone on YouTube. It was such fun making these colourful dolls. 

I made these and gave these dolls to my coworkers and these dolls brought smile on their faces 😊

Until next… happy crafting!

Miss Cherry Blossom 🍒

Greetings,

I wanted to knit something quick over the weekend and I knitted this doll. She wears a Red dress and a Green hat. She carries a purse with her and looks very elegant. 

I named her as Cherry Blossom because of her Red dress. It was a lot of fun making her and taking her pictures. 

The clothes and the hat and the purse are all attached and cannot be removed. The doll is around 6 inches tall including the hat and is very handy.

The Beauty and the Beast!

Greetings,

First of all, I am very happy to be back blogging again after a long break. I started my doll making again with this beautiful project from ‘Fairy tale knits’ by Fiona Goble. 

The set includes four enchanting characters: Beauty, the Beast who turns into a handsome Prince, and the Sisters.

Beauty:

She is beautiful, kind hearted, intelligent. Like any girl she had a dream of falling in love with a handsome and a loving man. However, she ended up loving a Beast instead. A perfect example of a Stockholm syndrome!

The Beast:

The real beauty is on the inside, and it doesn’t matter what a person looks like from the outside. This Beast is ugly, but inside him there is a lovely person struggling to get out! 

The Prince:

Because of Beauty’s kindness and love, the ugly monster turned into a loving handsome Prince! After all, love can move mountains!

The Sisters:

Sometimes, our siblings can be our own enemies and these two sisters of Beauty is no different. Their jealously and wickedness couldn’t stop Beauty from marrying the handsome loving Prince. Always, love, kindness and honesty wins over jealousy and wickedness!

All in all, I had a great time knitting these dolls and taking their pictures.

 

I will be back soon with my next doll and my next post. 

Until then…

Goldilocks and the Three Bears

Greetings,

I finally finished another fairy tale knits from Fiona Goble’s book. I started this a long time ago and in my busy schedule I wasn’t able to knit regularly. However, I am happy to have finished this. 

Goldilocks:

With her tumbling golden hair and demure smile, she looks as pretty as a picture. She looks cute in her pale green and purple dress however, she has actually forgotten her manners. When she went walking in the woods near her home, she started to feel a little peckish. So why not just slip into that charming little house and help herself to some breakfast? No one will care, will they?

Father Bear:

He is the head of the three bears household. He has the biggest bed, the biggest chair, and of course, the biggest bowl of oatmeal. In his red shirt and green pants with suspenders, he’s a traditional type of bear. But his stern expression and burly build give you a hint that you would be wise not to get on his bad side. 

Mother Bear:

She is a gentle-natured creature who puts her family at the heart of everything she does. Dressed sensibly in a comfortable skirt and cardigan, she gets along with everyone and doesn’t like to make a fuss. One of her favourite occupations is cooking good, wholesome meals for her family- such as the oatmeal in this famous story. 

Baby Bear:

Mother Bear wouldn’t want to know this, but her little son is spoiled rotten. Although he looks adorable in his cute blue overalls, he is prone to more than the odd tantrum when things don’t go his way. He’s not prepared to share his toys, his chair, or his food with anyone- even a girl as pretty as Goldilocks. 

I had so much fun making these enchanting characters!

Until next...

Pop-up greeting card

Greetings,
I tried a new craft this week and it's a pop-up card. I was planning to try this from a long time. The pictures are taken from Beatrix Potter's 'The tale of Mrs. Tiggy-winkle'. The front of the card shows Lucie looking for her lost handkerchiefs and pinafore, and the inside shows Mrs. Tiggy-winkle busy with her washing and ironing in her kitchen.
I love Mrs. Tiggy-winkle's character. Although many of Beatrix Potter's story book animals were based on her own pets, she often gave them human qualities too. The character of Mrs. Tiggy Winkle was inspired by Kitty McDonald, an old Scottish washerwoman, "a comical, round little old woman, as brown as a berry and wears multitude of petticoats".
Beatrix's tame hedgehog, Mrs. Tiggy-winkle, did her duty as a model.
(This information is taken by the original and authorised edition of 'The complete tales of Beatrix Potter').

This project is made from 'The big Peter Rabbit book' which includes things to do, games to play, stories presents to make etc.
Until next...

A friend is a gift you give yourself

Greetings,
I worked on another miniature project using popsicle sticks. This is a freindship and a tea party theme. It's so much fun to invite a friend for tea or coffee and chat and babble forever. Also, time just flies when you are whopping and guaffaving about something with a dear friend.

I used the wooden beads to make the tea pot and the cups. I used the wooden buttons for the saucers. The vase is again a wooden bead. The loaf of bread is made out of clay.

Overall, I had a great time making this project.

Until next...

Daffy-down-dilly's little cottage

Greetings,

I was planning to try out a tiny wooden cottage and finally I made one using popsicle sticks. I tried to provide as many details as possible inside the cottage. I made the bed out of popsicle sticks and painted it. Since, the space inside the cottage was limited I just Stuck some stickers to show the details instead of making 3D articles. Even the 2D stickers have given great effect.
I stuck a real tree birch for the tree. Then, I stuck some artificial creepers on the outside of the cottage. The doll is not handmade.

With some handmade things and with some things which were bought, this cottage looks lovely!
Until next....
