Some new minis after all

Like I said in my last post, I'm sick.. So I thought I could blog some more now that I have time to just sit still =) To be sick is so boring.. But I have been able to do some minis lately, even do my creativity have been as low as my immune defense...
I haven't felt like doing cats or dogs lately, or I have been wanting to, but I just can't manage to do them.. But then I felt like trying to do another white dog, like the one I did 2013: http://hannahsminiatyrer.blogspot.se/2013/12/snow.html
And, I manage to finish it =) Yay =)

The first one in the back, completely made of wool. The second one in front, made of wool and it has polymer clay eyes and nose.

I have no idea what breed it is, it's just a white dog =)

And then I finally manage to finish my rya-rug. This pattern was fun to make. But I did one row wrong, but I fixed that, and now it's done. =) I have no idea were to put it, it was just fun to make it (like almost everything I do.. I do it for the making, not the result =) )

And then I tried to furnish my bathroom. I really suck at furnishing =( I have no idea were to put things.. Should I move everything around? Were should I place everything??

The daughter of the Pettersson family finally got to take a bath =) 

I might just move everything around one more time, to see if it looks better another way.. I could move things around and around forever.... It's good it's easy to move things around in this scale =)
Then I'm working on some blinds and some details for this room.

Ever after High: Cerise Hood

My creativity is still low.. I tried making leaves for my tree with clay, took too much time.. Anyway I was more into the idea to use paper, but I have no good paperpunch for it.. maybe I should just buy one.. We will see how I'll do.
But guess who is sick again?! This is my third cold in four month! It's just not fair.. =) But a cold wont kill me, so I prefer that over something really bad, but I feel really tired and down at the moment. Haven't even been up to reading blogs lately either.. Hope to start doing that again soon, it always cheers me up =)
But let's take a look at a new doll =)

 
I saw Mattels pictures of Cerise before, and I wasn't that impressed.. But then I saw a doll and I loved her, seem to be different versions of her.. More about that can be read here: http://rayedelsol.com/cerise-hood-version-differences/
But my doll has golden dots on the lips, not silver like the new ones... hm.. And I think I have the first eyes.. but the second stand.. Anyhow, I love my Cerise doll. I'm so glad to finally get her.

Cerise is such a great character and a beautiful doll.
Cerise is the daughter of Red riding hood (and the big bad wolf, that's her secret, her father is a wolf)

This doll had to travel from UK to me in Sweden, for an OK price =)

Some of her hair was attached to the arm, with a rubber band. I got rid of that now. The hood had a plastic thing inside, so that it would stay up. (It stays up good even without the plastic-packing-thing)

The rest of the hair comes out of the hood. (I just love the print on the hood/cape)

She has a plastic picnic-bag. I haven't been able to open it, so maybe one shouldn't be able to do that..

She shouldn't have a black dot in her face, but mine has.. But I kinda like it =) a miss in the painting, but that makes her a bit more unique ;)

Since her father is the Big Bad Wolf, she has wolf-ears. I have to say I'm quite disappointed on the ears, looks more like an elf of something, than a wolf. In the webisodes the ears has fur on them, more realistic.. But I'm glad at least they are pointy.

A pleasant surprise was her pointy nails. That's a bit wolf-like and cool =)

She has long legs ( I like that, since I always had quite long legs myself =) ) And I think her leggings and shoes are very beautiful.

She is taller than for example Madeline.

I'm very happy with my new doll. I have so many now, more than half of the basic dolls =) But it looks like no Swedish store sells any of the new ones =( The Ever After High doll shelf keep getting smaller and smaller, I'm afraid they will cease to exist here very soon.. But I might just have to buy a few more, from other countries instead.  =)

Ever after high: Cedar Wood

Someone was selling Ever After High dolls, unboxed, in perfect condition on Tradera. (Swedish ebay) I wanted to buy them all (at least the ones I didn't have before) But the prices went up and I wasn't home when the auctions ended.. But I manage to get Cedar. She is very hard to find in Sweden, so I'm very happy! (I missed out on Cerise =( But I decided to order her from amazon uk, so I hope to get her soon too =) )

Cedar Wood is the daughter of Pinocchio, she is made of "wood". First I disliked her, plastic made to look like wood.. Not for me, I thought.. But after awhile I came to love her, like all the others ;)
I think she is very cool with her wooden body. She even have a wooden head, but not so much in the face, but I like her face, and how you can see wooden details here and there =)

She came with her hairbrush (shaped as a key, every doll has it) her history and a stand.

She has a plastic bag, that can be open, I like that, but you can't fit much in it, since there are plastic parts inside to keep it together..

 I love the cricket in her hair =)

The bretelles reminds me of Pinocchio, but I think these clothes are my least favourite of all my dolls so far.. I do like the collar and bretelles. And she has some really great details, and I love the doll, but the clothes, I don't know, I just don't care for them that much. But still, I couldn't resist getting this doll, maybe I'll learn to love the clothes just like I seem to love everything about these dolls =)

Right now I'm working on some minis too, will show you more soon =) And like I said, I hope to show Cerise soon too =)

I'll just give a little sneak peak, what was baking in my oven today.. From a wooden doll to a..... tree =)

If you have a great suggestion how to make leaves on my polymer clay tree, feel free to let me know =) I have no idea how to proceed at this point...

Take care
(I'll take care of my sick daughter and hope not to get sick myself again for the hundredth time this season...)

Ever After High: Ashlynn Ella and Hunter Huntsman

On Christmas eve they had a sale, and free shipping on Cdon. Lucky for me I had done some surveys online and gather enough points to trade for something on cdon, and guess who couldn't resist these dolls ;)

After all the holidays, they arrived, Ashlynn and Hunter.

These dolls were not on my original "most have list". I never been that into boy-dolls, but then I saw that Hunter looks quite handsome, and I like his hair. And Ashlynn has a special look I think, I really like her face.
They come in this double pack. Ashlynn the royal (daughter of Cinderella) falls in love with Hunter the rebel, (son of the Huntsman in both Red Riding Hood and Snow White, in this series the hunter in both stories are the same..) a secret romance. I like the idea =) Now the romance is out for all to know, even in the series.

Ashlynn has wonderful green eyes, and golden skin. Her hair is long and soft.

Her head band shows the carriage Cinderella went in to the ball. Her shoes are almost see-through, to resemble Cinderella's glass shoes.

Ashlynn is one big shoe-lover (like myself =) )

And her bag is a clock, almost 12, the time Cinderella most run of.

The back of her hair is a bit of a mess..

Hunter, he also has this golden skin tone. And brown eyes.

You can see that Dexter has a much lighter skin tone.

He has flocked hair on the sides and back, and long in the middle. He had this spot on his back head, I think from standing to long in the box, I hope it will go away... but I don't know about that..

I like his boots, here beside Dexters.

He has a hood, attached to a wonderful west, the material is so soft and looks great. I love it. He has great clothes, I LOVE the green sweater too!! He has a plastic bag that can be open, I like it, even do it's very plastic..

I'm so happy I got them, I just love them, the clothes, the faces. Everything =)

Raven, Lizzie, Madeline, Ashlynn, Briar, Dexter and Hunter

And here are all my dolls, so far. (Well I do have two more Madeline dolls, that I showed before, I didn't include them in this picture, it felt weird to have several Madelines on the line up =) )

All the girls

I heard a rumour they will stop selling EAH dolls in Sweden since they don't sell that good, I hope it's not true.. But they haven't been selling all dolls there are now either, and they take more then double the price in USA so I understand they have a hard time selling them.. I hope they will sell all the EAH dolls there are, and to a fair price! =) But now that I learned to shop abroad, I guess this wont keep me from getting more dolls, even if they are nowhere to be found in Sweden =)

Take care

Ever After High: Briar Beauty - Legacy day

Sorry for being so negative on my last post, it's just that I want to make great things, things I have a picture of in my head, and then, they don't turn out the way I want, that's so frustrating.. But I'll keep trying, and have some breaks in between, and just look at all my dolls and feel joy =)
Speaking of dolls, there are more to show from my fast growing collection =)

I wasn't going to buy Briar... But then I found her on Tradera, and I thought this legacy day version was quite beautiful. So, all a sudden she ended up on my now very crowded doll shelf.

Sorry for the not so great picture, but the lack of sun and light has been making me take some really dizzy pictures lately, this was the best I got..

Briar is the daughter of Sleeping Beauty. She falls a sleep every now and then, and my daughter thinks she is very funny. The "basic" Briar doll has nice pink glasses, I miss them in this version, but she has a pretty dress in this version, and a tiara =)

Her cape was attached by some stitches, I decided to cut it loose a few days ago.. But on these pictures it's still attached to the dress.

She has a lovely golden skin tone. That's the best about her, in my eyes =) She has brown eyes, just like me, and brown hair, with pink in it. (I most say I really like how almost all the dolls have a touch of colour in their hair =) )

Have a nice end to the weekend

Take care

Time for clay again

I never give any new years resolutions, but reading Birgits blog, about her changes, I thought I might do some changes to my life too =) 
I've decided to have computer free Sundays, to spend more time with family and do other things, this also made me not so active on other blogs, I read blogs every now and then, but I haven't been making much comments lately, but I love doing it, so I hope to get more time for it soon =) And to be able to read all blogs I want to, but there are so many great blogs out there =) Sorry if I have missed yours lately!

I also tried making some new critters, but that was hard. I realized I'm no good at sculpting =( but I hope the bad sculpting will be hidden under the wool.. And I might just have to keep trying, to get better, but I have too little time and patience for that right now.. My patience are really bad right now..
I have always loved clay, but lately I haven't had much time for it, and I loose my temper with it all the time now =) I will take a deep breath and start over again =)


I tried making a cat that is supposed to look a bit spooked, he didn't turn out the way I wanted, the body is a bit off and the head looks a bit small. But I'm making a new one right now, hopefully I learned something the first time =) One cat will move in to my witch in the Fantasy roombox =)

Sorry for this negative post, I'll try to keep it more happy next time =) I still have a lot of dolls to show you =) (and I have a few more animals to put fur on too)
But first the cat:

 He is lurking around on my workspace =)

And got spooked in my dollhouse, he most have seen the mess, that didn't get on camera =)

Addition to this post:
Hobbyrian has started a new webshop, with clay for good prices, for us Scandinaviens! Check it out =) I just made an order myself =)

Take care

Ever after high: Raven Queen

I never post two days in a row.. But since I have been buying dolls like there is no tomorrow I need to be a bit quicker with my blog posts, if I want to show them all ;)
Another trip to ToysRus resulted in another doll =) My daughter wanted me to buy Raven, but I wanted Cerise =) I looked online, on Cerise, and was so happy they had dropped the price on her and all the Ever after high dolls. So when I saw she was in stock in a store near our city, we went there, I was so excited.. and then, I couldn't see her.. So I asked, and they didn't have her =( I was so very disappointed.. But my daughter thought I could buy Raven instead.. and that's what I did..
I have been looking when I got home, and Cerise is nowhere to be found right now (at least in any store here in Sweden), hope I get her someday..
I did want Raven too, I want them all... Raven, Apple, Cerise, Cedar, Ashlynn, Hunter, Blondie, Cupid, Kitty.. You see, I have many more to go ;) And they keep doing new ones too, I have to stop looking at new dolls, this will be very expensive and crowded for me..


Anyhow, Raven, daughter of the Evil Queen from Snow white. I love her character in the webisodes. And Dexter is in love with her and she is Madeline's best friend, so I thought my Dexter and Madeline doll really wanted me to buy Raven =)

I most say I think she looks kinda cool =)

I love her long black and purple hair! It's soft and beautiful!

And her skirt is very beautiful! I just love it! (would love one for myself ;) )
Her bracelet/ring is not my favourite, can't say I like it at all, but I don't like to remove anything form the original clothes, so she gets to keep it =) Maybe I'll learn to like it.. It's just that the ring doesn't stay on the finger, it keeps twirling..

Madeline was very happy to see her friend =)
(I love how they are different heights)

The shy and "awkward" Dexter came to have a look at his dream girl =)

I think they found each other just like in the webisodes =) Just look at Dexter, he can't take his eyes off her =)

A sneak peak on Briar. I love how these dolls both have different heights and skin-tones.

Next time I'll show more of Briar =)

Take care
