Under the x-mas tree

Blythe dolls are members of the family right? Do they also get their presents under the x-mas tree?

Here are some idea's in the gorgeous treasury that my friend Inbaliya made:

Kobi, Amika, I, John, Denzel en Shaun wish you all happy cozy and warm hollidays.

So many fruit, so little time

There are just so many fruit and vegetables in the supermarket that I haven't ran out of idea's yet!

Amika wears Cherry

Kobi wears watermelon with seeds and pom-poms

Kobi wears Orange

Amika wears Plum

I am working on a white vegetables at the moment. Guess what it is or wait and see, it is a surprise.

p.s Yesterday Amika had a nose and mouth job and her eyelashes are out.

I wish you a warmy winter

Gray, brown, bordo are great winter colors, don't you think?
I also find knitting, crocheting and felting to be THE creative activity for the winter. I can knit in the livingroom for the fake fire place, crochet in bed because the crochet hook is not sharp and I always have at least one child in bed. Only needle felting I do in my creative space upstairs while sitting behind my desk. you can't be too safe with felting needles.

These are few of my winter favorites. To find the listings go to my treasury: Winter wishlist or click on the image above.

Have you notices I wish also for winter clothes for my dolls? I didn't take them outside for photography yet because it is so cold and they don't have coats and socks (ordered and waiting for the mail wo/man)

Customizing Amika - part 1

I started customizing Amika
Work done so far:

• Sleep eyes
• Sand matting
  

Amika wears cucumber amigurumi hat


Amika wears empire dress with 2 pom pom hair elastics

I am waiting for the clear eye chips and scalp to continue but already after sand matting she is much more beautiful than with shiney face and yellow stock make-up. I haven't decided yet if I will change all the chips or leave some of the stock chips in place. I find these pink chips special.

Sock monkyes for dolls

Blythe dolls love crocheted hats!



They are lots of work, these hats. 4 parts and the eyes that needs to be sewn together. But they are cute, right?

It is the time of the year again

This week I took out again my fondant cakes book. It is the second time this year - because it is the birthday of my oldest son today.
For his classmates I made these:

Well, I didn't actually make the cakes. I bought them and I only decorated them with cars. 23 cars - 92 wheels!!

And for our little family celebration I made him a race circuit in the shape of the number 6 because he turned 6 today!

I am getting better every cake but practicing 2 times a year only will take long before it will be perfect. I can't cover the whole cake with one piece yet.

The book is already in the closet. Next time in July.

Fruit hats

After letting Amika wears the half amigurumi airplain I thouhgt - there's an idea!
There were also instruction for fruit in the amigurumi book I lended from the library and I thought - what if I wouldn't close them but leave them half open....


I have lots of ideas - strawberry and cherry and some vegetables too!
I currently working on a cucumber!
