Christmas?!

I love Christmas, snow, candy and good food and family. But this year I haven't got the Christmas spirit, yet, I believe it was the lack of snow, but today we finally got snow, not just a thin layer, "real" snow =) I want looooots of snow for Christmas...
Any way, my daughter will be 2 years old this week. Time flies, really!! She is still my baby, and that's what she calls her self, baby =) But she is so big now, she is walking and talking like a big girl =)

She loves the doors in my dollhouse, and I'm longing for the day she is big enough to play nice with a dollhouse, but she is a bit young, still =) But I couldn't resist, so I made a roombox for her.. Its not pretty, but it has a door, and I got lots of great wooden furnitures for smaller children from a girl in a Facebook group about dollhouses. So This is what she will get for her birthday, and then I have even more furniture to give later. I might have to make some more rooms, to fit all the furniture =)
This is very, very simple. I thought I might ask her to paint the walls and maybe we can make a floor together too. She will get a real house later, but since she is so young I thought this will be enough for now =)
She might use her duplo figures in this house, she loves duplo =)
Her duplo figures. 
She calls them mormor (grandmum) bebis (baby) pappa (dad) mamma (mum). The bigger girl is suppose to be the mother, and the shorter is the little girl.. But she change the two of them ;) So I'm the little blond girl... =)

Back to my miniatures =)
I have been cleaning wool. I got some wool from a nice girl. Shropshire wool. I liked the colour when I got it, looked nice, then I put it in some water, and like magic, it became white! It's a nice colour now too, but I would like to have some beige/cream coloured wool too. I might try to colour some wool later.
I have dried it and now I'm just waiting for inspirations to make more dogs ;) Meanwhile I have been making some bags. Again =)


My lady tried one out =) She liked it ;) But these three will be added to my pile of things to sell =) As you know I'm saving things to sell, I need to work a bit faster if I want to have a full table next year.. =) I'm too slow to actually earn money from my hobby, and I get to attached to things too =) But I'll give it a try.

I did try to make a new dog today, but it didn't work.. I teared it apart and gave up, I might just not be in a good mood for dogs right now, maybe I'll try a teddy bear tomorrow, for no I'll just enjoy watching the snow =)
take care
Hannah

  1. Haha din dotter verkar super mysig :) Min dotter har oxå haft en barnduplo figur som mamma och sig själv som en "stor" :P Jag längtar oxå tills min dotter är stor nog att leka med dockhuset utan att det ska limmas och lagas hela tiden efteråt ;)

    1. Hur gammal är din dotter? =) Jag tänkte nog vänta med huset tills min blir 3år, jag fick det då, men jag var väldigt försiktig som barn, men min dotter är ganska försiktig med =)

    1. Thanks Lisa! I like the blue bags design the best, it's made in fake suede, much easier to work with than the leather, but I hope to make a more advanced leather bag someday too =)

  6. Привет Анна!
    Ваша дочка будет очень рада своему домику! Особенно играя вдвоем с мамой!
    Шерсть можно покрасить кофе или чай, а потом в микроволновку.
    Сумки выглядят очень красиво!

    1. Thank you Tatiana! She was very happy for the house, but I think she liked the furniture the best, we have been playing a long while now =)
      And thank you for the tip, I heard about dying fabric in the microwave, I might try doing that with the wool later.

  7. Your daughter is a lucky girl to have you mom! Happy and healthy birthday to the little one!

    You made fantastic bags, and I am waiting to see what you will create from the wool maybe some "Christmassy" things ;P

    1. Thank you! I did feel a bit bad about giving away a cardboard house, whilst I "play" with a much prettier one.. But she is happy for the gift, and we can build much better and nicer house together in the future =)

      It would be cool to make a reindeer in wool, for my Santa's house.. I might have to try that, but it might be a bit to hard for me.. But you got me thinking in new Christmassy-ways now, not just common old dogs ;)

  8. Tillykke med din datter. Det må være så dejligt at du kan hygge dig med din datter om dukkehuse. Min to voksne døtre havde playmobil dukkehuset, det er pakket ned og venter på at der engang kommer børnebørn.
    Knus, jeg håber du snart kommer i julehumør.

  9. We didn't get any snow. But all ice instead. There's about 2" of it on the roads. I hope it melts tomorrow. We're not suppose to have weather like this in Texas. I love that you made your daughter a dollhouse. And the bags are fabulous! I hope you get tons of snow.
    hugs♥,
    Caroline
