wish list

Posted on November 7th, 2008 in found,toys,wish by Meike

I’m much too busy right now to take on anything new for a while, but once I’m done, this is what’s on my wish list. My to-make wish list, that is!

When I was in Amsterdam yesterday evening I saw this doll in the window of a renowned department store:

She’s made by Danish company Sebra, and I’d love to make something like that! I seem to remember having a crochet instruction book somewhere, maybe I should dig it up. ;) Don’t like the eyes though, they’ll have to go. And the hair will be quite different. Also, I’m not quite sure if I’ll be able to do the thumbs, seeing as my crochet skills are virtually non-existent… Perhaps I should just stick to my Waldorf dolls. (But if anyone knows of a similar pattern, please let me know! :) )

Then, there’s this sweetie:

Isn’t she lovely? I’ve already ordered the pattern, all I have to do now is get the materials.

Aaaaaand of course there’s the Winter nature table to be prepared! King Winter, some ice elves, snowy mountain backdrop, crystals…

Yup, lots to do! :)

    Your descriptions of a Winter nature table sound lovely!

    I am sure you will figure it out and the dollies will be even better :)
