Today it's back to boy's peasant/Hobbit costumes, and then cloaks and bags for everyone. The worst job is the shirts - it's just like sewing a full-size human shirt, but tiny - with super tiny collar and neckband. Once the collars are done, then it gets a lot easier. I have just four days this week to finish everything, and that's including a few more "special days" photos - and of course, I can't forget Easter, with all those chocolate bunnies and eggs.
Today is National Waffle Day, so Soa is treating her little friends with waffles for breakfast. PS. The "waffles" are actually miniature "stroop waffels" (syrup wafers) from the Dutch store. I saw them two weeks ago and thought they were the perfect size for Waffle Day. Jan's been waiting eagerly ever since for me to take the photos so he can eat the cookies - he knows I'm not too happy when he eats my props before I'm done with them.

I've only just found your site......& I'm absolutely amazed! Your little people are just magical & full of wonder! I can see you do some beautifully fine sewing to achieve this little outfits...something I've always wanted to do, but always ended up with very clumsy attempts resulting. Will be watching as you do future creations of the magical kind........!

I love this family scenery and the spring dresses that your girls are wearing. I only realised today that it was because of one of your dolls dressed in a blue Celtic outfit that I found out about BJD dolls on the first of January. Thanks! Comments are closed.
