Three Sweet Waldorf Dollies Seeking Forever Homes

Well, I feel like a stranger on my own blog. It's been such a long time since I visited. An ongoing illness, and one lost camera, put a spanner in the works! So had to sort that out, and it seems sorted for now.

Before that happened, I had dollies almost ready for their forever homes, but life said it wasn't to be. Along with everything else, the 'new' ballpoint needle I put in the machine to stitch up those dollies had a burr on it!!!! grrrr!!! so here and there along seams, the needle poked fine holes, not noticed until dollies were plumply stuffed. 
All so cute, I wasn't quite ready to dump them...

instead... dollies, blonde;brunette;redhead became models for trying new clothing and accessories designs. Lots of fun was had drawing up new ideas, drafting patterns, sewing cute clothing, trying on, making adjustments, redrafting patterns, sewing up more! 

Because each dolly is handmade they are all unique, and although made from the same pattern there can be differences in sizing - so these dollies were great help in making patterns that could be used over and over and fit, no matter what little differences between dolly babies! What good little models they've been. Now I have a new fun range of outfits, mostly vintage inspired and have been working on some new doll designs too. 

The babies are now ready for their new life. Seams are mended with quality thread and careful hand-stitching, and after being such obliging little models, they've all had a lovely refreshing soak in eco wool wash and a sun dry!

Poor dolly babies are yet to know the touch of a child, and can hardly wait for their own little mummy to love and cuddle them!

PLEASE NOTE: Dollies are made from ORGANIC and ALL NATURAL MATERIALS. 

Clothing/accessories made from NEVER BEFORE USED VINTAGE FABRIC and YARNS.

All clothing and accessories in this offer have been made as models/prototypes/toiles for the development of patterns. All are well made to withstand years of play. 

FULLY DRESSED AND WITH A HEAP OF EXTRAS

The price is a true bargain at AU$160 each  + postage.

Each dolly will bring to their new home a wardrobe of clothes and accessories to make for great pretend play time. All items made for little age appropriate fingers to be easily able to change baby. Fabrics and Yarns are from my gifted and thrifted stash.

First buyer has first choice. 
In some instances there is only a small remnant of a print/colour/fabric - left over from a long ago project. Just enough for a dolly outfit or if lucky a couple.


Dolls arrive at their new home with the following:

Cuddling Up

a soft and snugly handcrochet blankie to wrap baby in - 1st buyer chooses 1st, etc.

Out and About

pretty cotton dress, and matching bloomers (not shown)

Sleepy Head

Cute 2 piece cotton sleep set, nighty and matching nappy/diaper - choice  of nursery print, or sweet tiny vintage blue floral or pink floral.

and a spare plain flannel nappy/diaper - baby needs more than one!

Below are pics of the fabric choices for the nighty and nappy/diaper set

hmm don't know why my camera has put a yellow wash on this pic? weird!

looks like it has done it to all my pics today...very strange!

yes, every pic has a yellow wash to it, but IS NOT like that in life

It's a bit chilly

hand-knit set of jacket, beanie, mary jane shoes. I have 6 sets available, 4 colours to choose from, variegated pink (2), variegated autumn, purple, and red (2). Extras made for such as perfecting pattern, timing, yarn quantities, etc.

always pretty in pink, I say!

poor purple set looks very flat and washed out in pic, sorry!

very bizarre - this looks orangey here, not the wonderful fire truck red it really is!

hmmm this colour is washed out in the pic, brighter and prettier in life!



Sunny Day Fun

how cute is this cute stretchy cotton swimmer?

and how Sun Smart is a sweet 1950s inspired bolero?

Play Time

vintage 40s-50s inspired romper suit, bolero, and bonnet - all so very cute! Ask me about the colour choices. I will post more pics on fb as I get them. 

so sad this pic didn't turn out better. The set is adorable with colours bright and lovely and yet in this pic the colour looks a bit drab and washed out! The red is actually a lovely ruby red!! I'll see if I can replace this pic with a better one. As soon as the sun comes out, whenever that might be...gloom abounds here lately!

There are several vintage styled romper sets available in different colours/prints.

Everything is made by my own two hands. Just because I love it so.

OH, a special SURPRISE TREAT outfit for each dolly. Don't you just love a treat? I do!

To say thanks for giving these dollies a home, and for the enjoyment of your own little person I will include an extra surprise handmade outfit with each of the dolls. 

First two dolls sold will bring their own little handmade dressed dolly with them, either. I've been making bunny patterns and for fun made up a little rag doll. The prototype bunny and little rag doll are extra gifts for the first 2 buyers. 


Lil Bunny 

Ruby Ragdoll

Both Lil Bunny and Ruby Ragdoll are wearing lace trimmed bloomers under a lace trimmed dress from pretty vintage fabric and lace. Ruby has pure kid mohair hair and both little dollies are filled with eco corn fibre filling.

deary me! so wish I could have given you luscious lovely clear pics but Im afraid my handcrafting skills are way better than my photography skills and our recent spate of continual dreary weather hasn't helped one bit - oh well I can only improve ;-)

have fun looking, and shopping. 
Only these three dollies are offered at this extra special low price. 

I will have others for sale coming soon for around AU$250.00 + postage. 

Oh and please leave a comment if you will. Love to hear from you!
