Spare Parts

Sometimes I feel that the work of creating my dolls is a constant process of stitching and unpicking.
This boy was almost done yesterday evening, till I woke up this morning, and find out that I don't like the way he looked like at all.

First I unpicked his mouth,

Then I looked on the stupid ears I stitch only yesterday they looked awful; they weren’t "his" it was obvious, so I cut them out immediately.
I can't point where the problem was exactly, it was something I felt and knew.

The mouth and ears are going to be stored in my special box for dolls spare parts.

Maybe one day they would fit another doll.

A Picnic for One

The new creature...

… felt claustrophobic and bored in his own room.

So he packed his stuff,

and went out.

He spent a wonderful time out there.

*New creature is listed at my etsy doll store.

Moon Man

Early morning a few days ago, Moon Man woke up, packed an apple in his grocery bag, and ventured out to explore the world.

*You can find him at my etsy store

Sock creatures need hands

"Sock creatures need hands," mumbled the round sock creature to himself,
while I was already crocheting a pair for him.
As soon as they were done, he was invited to take a look.

They seemed to be fine.

Sewing them to the creature's body was painful.
He had to take a rest when it was over.

Pink Creature

A new creature was born yesterday.

Today, he already had a busy day of meetings. First he was introduced to some other members of the Bobilina sock creature community.

At lunch time he was introduced to one of the most important members of the crochet community: Mother Bird.The pink creature was so curious to see the wee bird in Mother Bird's bag; he had never seen such a small creature before!

It was a lot for one day. The pink creature had to take a rest and think about it all.
