Hello and welcome 

After moving to Suffolk almost two years ago to be with my daughter and her family I have learnt to crochet dolls.

I call these Jacqueline’s Tiny Tots 

These two are Flossy and Bobby and they are mine.

I use these as my models for testing any new outfits that I come up with.

They are crocheted in 100% cotton yarn and their clothes are knitted in 100% wool yarn. Their hair is crocheted in brushable mohair and they are stuffed with polyester.

My dolls are CE Tested which allows me to sell them in the UK and Europe.

Although my dolls are crocheted I must admit I prefer knitting.

The reason I haven't knitted them is that I have not found a knitting pattern to match the crochet pattern.

Thank you for visiting with me today and I hope to see you again soon

Luv

Jacqueline xx

May the Course be with you

Good afternoon and welcome to my blog

I'm super excited, I have enrolled on a course to make Waldorf dolls next weekend

I know that I have made a couple but I'm finding it difficult to roll the stuffing tight and firm enough to make the doll stable enough for play so I'm off to Sheffield to take on the challenge of making a really good doll with the aid of a tutor

so wish me luck and I will post pictures on my return

this is so going to be a long week :-)

thank you for visiting with me today

Susie my Waldorf Doll No. 1

Good morning and welcome to my blog

Today I would like to show you my first Waldorf doll made with 100% natural fibres

in this photograph you can see that I have managed to roll the head using Wood Batting

it is very hard and to make it like this requires lots of patience

this is her all put together the stuffing for the body arms and legs is rolled like sausage rolls mine I have since found out are not firm enough

this is where we start to play dress up the dress is way too long for her 

as it was made for a rag doll but I just needed to see what would fit her

we now have a face and hair oh and look another dress :-)

I decided that I didn't like the mohair for her hair it was too matted for me

so I have changed it to Alpaca yarn - and yes - another outfit

what outfit wouldn't be complete without a hat

this is my first attempt at crocheting using a pattern 

up till now all I could crochet was a granny square

and to complete the look yesterday I made her a denim jacket

Thank you for visiting with me

I hope you enjoyed Susie's journey

and that you will return soon to see who else will appear

luv

jacqueline xx
