Daisy-Baby

Daisy-Baby is a bald 12" baby girl, born with Spring ! She has porcelain pink skin and grey-blue eyes. No hair yet ...
     Daisy-Bébé est un petit bébé de 30 cm, née avec le printemps ! Elle a la peau rose porcelaine et les yeux gris-bleu. Pas encore de cheveux ...

Her anatomically-correct tiny body has jointed legs, arms and neck allowing movements. She is full of warm wool and love ! She sometimes sucks her left thumb when getting tired.

     Son petit corps a des jambes, bras et cou articulés pour bien bouger. Elle est pleine de laine bien chaude et d'amour ! Des fois, quand elle est fatiguée, elle suce son pouce gauche.

  
Daisy-Baby wears a diaper made by Monkeys and Angels, and nothing else, she is a baby who likes to be naked ... and I know some of you enjoy knitting for the tinies, so, have fun ! However, if you want me to dress her (knitted bonnet and booties, linen long-sleeve dress and tiny doll), I'll ask for a week and 50€.

     Daisy-Bébé porte une couche faite par Monkeys and Angels, et rien d'autre, elle aime rester nue... et je sais que certains d'entre vous aime tricoter pour les tout-petits ! Si vous souhaitez que je l'habille (un bonnet et des chaussons tricotés, une robe à manches longues en lin et une petite poupée), je vous demanderais une semaine de plus et 50€.

Her Facebook album may be seen here : photos

My babies do not reach the necessary safety standards to be considered as toys. Also, please do not purchase (or at your own risks) if you are allergic to cats.

Vous pouvez voir son album Facebook ici: photos

Mes poupées ne répondent pas aux critères nécessaires pour être considérées comme des jouets. J'en déconseille l'achat aux personnes allergiques aux chats.

She will be avalaible in my Etsy shop Sunday, March 23rd at 3 pm, Paris time.

Elle sera disponible à l'adoption dans mon "magasin" Etsy le dimanche 23 mars à 15 heures.

Lichen

Lichen will be avalaible in my Etsy shop (link at the bottom of this page) Thursday, February 20th at 9pm, Paris time. More about Lichen here : Lichen Facebook album

Custom Waldorf Babies

As many very nice customers (or customer to be) asked me, I decided to offer a few custom spots this year. 

I used to avoid customs for many reasons: I am a beginner doll maker and I wanted to keep my dolly-making-time for my own desires; I had a few bad custom experiences (and a few good ones, thank you !); I didn’t feel confident enough; I am very bad at working with a deadline …

I now feel fine working with my Waldorf baby pattern, so these are the ones I will offer as customs.

You may see an album with the Waldorf babies I made and description to help you here: Waldorf Babies FB album.

These pictures are a guide, but I am totally unable (and I don't want to, that is no fun) to make the same doll as the ones I already made.

Customer will be able to choose:

-          Gender, anatomically correct or not

-          Skin color

-          Hair color

-          Hair material: TLS or brushed mohair. I do not dye TLS, so exact color wished may not be available

-          Hair length (brushed mohair can’t be very long. TLS may be cut short)

-          Eyes color

-          Freckles or not

-         3 pieces outfit to choose from the followings: blouse, shirt, dress, cardigan, overalls, bloomers, pants, shoes, bonnet. Each doll will wear a diaper made by Monkeys and Angels.

-          Clothes main color

-          Extra piece of clothing available for 20€. Extras may cause delay on the delivery date.

-          Doll will have her own handkerchief doll, with wooden head and hands and painted features. Customer will choose eye and hair color.

Babies will be 150€ + shipping (7€ to France, 15€ to E.U, 25€ rest of the world).

50€ deposit is required. 

Doll will be delivered within 6 months after deposit was paid. You’ll see pictures of your doll before paying the balance, if you change your mind I will refund the deposit minus Etsy and Paypal charges.

Balance is due within 7 days after the doll’s completion. I will let you know when I start working on your doll.

My Waldorf babies do not meet the necessary safety standards to be considered as toys. Naughty children should be avoided completely, as well as people allergic to cats (sorry).

Customs spots will be available in my Etsy shop tomorrow, Thursday 06/02/2014 at 5pm, Paris time.

Thank you !

Summer wants to go / Summer veut partir

I wonder what Summer is up to ?
Je me demande ce que prépare Summer ?

- Summer, tu fais quoi ?
- What are you doing Summer ? 

- I'm packing. 
- Je fais mon sac.

mon collier, mon carnet de voyage, un crayon, des bonbons ...

my necklace, my notebook, a pencil, candies ...

Summer est prête à partir via Etsy
Summer is ready for adoption in my Etsy shop

Les vacances de printemps seront peut-être l'occasion pour moi de coudre une ou deux Noisettes. Si vous avez des envies particulières concernant les couleurs de peau, d'yeux, de cheveux, c'est le moment de me le dire.

Spring holidays will propably give me time to sew a few Hazelnuts. So if you'd like some specific eye/skin/hair colours, please let me know now.

Violette's socks

Violette is a new world. I never made older dolls, always babies.

No, wait, that is not true. I made older dolls, but they were customs. That’s different. Violette is my girl. And I discovered that dolls actually talk. Not babies, of course, babies snuggle, giggle and sometimes moan a bit, but Violette talks. So I’m listening. (She isn’t).

-  Mum, I’m cold
- Violette, don’t call me that name, please. So, you’re cold ? I’ll knit you a little something. 

   There you go.

    Do you like it ?

- Yes !!! Thank you Mama, I love it ! 
 - Violette, please, stop calling me that, I’m not your mother. I make you, then, when you’re ready (and I am too), we’ll find a family for you, with a mother. Or a father, maybe. 
-   Then what am I supposed to call you ?

      - Well …. I have no idea. I’ll ask to other dollmakers. I’ll let you know.

       - Mum, my feet are cold.

       - That’s quite normal. Severine said her mother told her so: when the weather is snowy, feet are cold. 

         See, mine are cold too :

-      

              -  Oh, yeah. But I don’t like having cold feet !!! Would you please knit me some lace socks ?

       - Lace socks ??? I’ve never knitted socks ! And barely more lace … I don’t think knitted lace socks are a good idea. What about some cute felt shoes ? Or maybe crocheted booties ?

        -  No, I want knitted lace socks. If you don’t knit me some, I’ll leave and go far far away, I’ll go live with Eva. Fabs said she will knit lace soon, I’m sure she’ll make Eva and I beautiful socks.

I told her she’d be even colder at Fabs place, there’s a lot of snow there, much more than here where it melts as soon as it touches the ground, but she wasn’t listening any more. If she ever did. So … I knitted her a pair of lace socks. The first one took me a day and a half. For one sock, do you believe that ? And there is an eyelet missing. The second sock went a little faster, and there is an eyelet too many. But she liked it anyhow:

     - Oh, thank you Mama ! Thank you so much ! They fit my feet just right, see ? I love it !!!

  

-               Mama, I think you should knit me a toy now. A very soft, fluffy and gentle one. Would you, please ?

       -  Oh, Violette, don’t you think there are other priorities ?
