Hamsters the family of mascots.



Greetings!


Three generation hamster family,
They are so happy and lovely.
Grandpa is ready to go walking,
Grandma is always busy knitting.
Daddy is about to read the newspaper,
Mummy is happy to take a stroll with baby hamster!

I just made up this poem! Lol!  My last post ended with this sentence, I smell a rat close by!"
"Mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow". Yes mother cat was  so right. She rather smelt a family of hamsters 🐭......... This is another beautiful and vintage patterns made from Jean Greenhowe's book called 'Small cuddly toys'.
 The dolls are complete to the last detail. The father is wearing a sweater, jacket, and a hat. Also, the author has given him a character by placing a newspaper under his arms.

 The mother is wearing a dress and a hat and the baby hamster is wrapped in a blanket and is wearing a shawl underneath and also a bonnet. A small pillow is glued inside the pram.


 The grandfather is wearing a cravat and a jacket. A pocket watch is tucked in his pocket and also he is wearing a pair of spectacles and a hat. Holding a walking stick in his hand looks like a typical English hamster! 😃.


 The grandmother is wearing a Shawl on her dress and a pair of spectacles, and holding a pair of knitting needles and a ball of yarn. 


These mini hamsters are just 8 cm (3 in) high, and baby hamster has a pram (or baby carriage) made from a very small cardboard box. While they are not of course suitable for very young children and adults should enjoy owning these little furry creatures as mascots or ornaments.
I really had a lot of fun sewing these little creatures. Every thing is handmade and they live in a luxurious two storey tree house!


Have a knife day 🍴, see you spoon!😉

Baby Bunting doll.

Greetings!

Here is the cuddliest of all baby dolls with his own snuggle-down sleeping bag. 
(Completely handmade! I didn't use a sewing machine for this!)

This is another vintage doll from Jean Greenhowe's 'Favourite dolls and toys'.  I really had a lot of fun making this doll 😃.

Vintage Doll

Greetings!
I made this doll from Jean Greenhowe's 'cuddly toys and dolls'. Her sewing patterns are as beautiful as her knitting patterns. Her patterns are very simple and easy to follow. I was very happy to sew after a very long time. I made this doll to gift one of my friends. I did not use a sewing machine and hand stitched this completely. 




In my opinion this is a vintage doll because, this book was published in 1983 and it's not available anymore. 
Hope you love her!

❤️ Revu!
