I have been very quiet this summer. That was because I did quite a lot of travelling. Here are some quick sneak peeks. And I will eventually show all of the photos I took separately. This was the first trip – to Cornwall, the Poldark country where I took my Ross and Demelza Poldark. This […]

Again, these photos were taken quite some time ago but I have never shown them. I love this doll so much that I thought I would dedicate this post to her in different dresses. This is Emma by Carpatina. The same doll was the very first doll that entered our house. This one was her […]

I have just found some more old photographs which I have never shown! This was the very first cardigan I knitted as an adult. That was 8 years ago and I knitted it for my daughter’s first doll – Emma by Carpatina. It was 3 years before I started collecting dolls myself! These photos were […]

In my spare time I’ve been slowly sorting the photos I’ve taken over the last year but still haven’t shown. Here are some of my Mattie – A Girl for All Time Matilda that lives with my mum. The dress was knitted by her (and I’ve shown it before). Mattie in the full outft. Here […]

Another game that Mattie and Tinka enjoyed together was the skipping rope. Mattie had never done it before, so Tinka decided to teach her how to do it. Hmm, this is tricky!

Another small set of last summer’s photos. It’s Mattie (A Girl for All Time Matilda) this time. She is wearing a Poppy top which is actually meant for Maru & friends dolls, but Mattie insisted on trying it on!

This is another outfit made by my mum. I have another set of photos involving this dress on a different doll which I took in the summer while on holidays, but I’ll show it some time later. This set is called Summer Breeze. It looks best on Kidz’n’Cats dolls (modelled here on my Michelle) but […]

Once upon a time I used to have my own doll business in Singapore – an online doll shop called Daisy dolls. I closed it down a year ago, on the last day on 2013, mainly because I wanted to create more than I wanted to sell the stuff made by others, though there were […]

Recently I had a photo session for my Etsy shop and I also took a group photos of my models which I find quite interesting. The models here are Maru & friends dolls Jamie and Savannah, Kidz’n’Cats doll Galina, A Girl for All Time dolls Matilda and Amelia and gotz doll Hannah Rockstar. Aren’t they […]

My Gwendolen and Caroline – two Hannahs but they are so different!

I have finally got around to taking proper photos of my precious Gwendolen in this yellow dress that I crocheted a few years ago! I love how it suits her. I got the idea for this dress in one of the books about crocheting for girls (though the one I saw was dark blue and […]

I am very busy at the moment (today being a public holiday here, etc.), so just a quick post with a couple of photos of my Gemma and Joanna together.

Last year we had two American Girl dolls with us during our summer holidays in Russia. My daughter brought her Alice (MAG #55) and my mum’s model was Daniella (MAG #23). My daughter fell in love with Daniella and she is now her doll (while she replaced my mum’s model by giving her another AG […]

This is a second daisy dress that my mum has made. The first one was made to fit Gotz dolls. This one was intended for American Girl dolls and is modelled on my daughter’s Alice and Daniella.

My mum has recently made a few dresses for my daughters’ mini American Girl dolls. Three of them were knitted and one crocheted. Here are the knitted dresses on Isabelle and two Saiges. And all 4 of them. Similar dresses but different way of making them. The dresses are modeled on Saige and Nellie. My personal […]

I was very surprised how well pink suits my Joanna (Maru and Friends doll)!! This is an outfit knitted and crocheted by my mum. The handbag is functional!

I think I have never shown this doll before, although she has been living with me (and now with my mum) for more than 2 years already! She is City Style Charlotte, Tonner doll, 2006, LE1000. Last summer my eldest daughter – finally! – learnt how to crochet! And the first thing she crocheted was a small […]

Not an outfit made by me, for once! It was given to me (and my Violetta) as a present by my friend Tatiana some time ago. I love her work, and especially the daisies on the hat! The only thing that I added myself were the pearl buttons on the top and the closure of […]

Recently my Philippa (Pippa by Bo Bergemann) got her new face-up, and I decided that since I don’t have time to make a new dress for her (and I love this one on her, anyway), I should make her some accessory for this dress. From the beginning I was planning that this dress should have […]

This Model Village of Woodstock can be found in the Blenheim Palace. It was created by an Arthur Dunston in 1954 and it shows Park Street from the entrance to Blenheim Park to the Town Hall Market Place. The Model Village was donated to the Blenheim Estate in 1992 and at the moment it is […]

Blenheim Palace is a beautiful palace near Oxford which belongs to the Dukes of Marlborough and it is also a place where Winston Churchill was born. Anika spent the whole day exploring it. She first went on a little train with a steam engine which took her to a wonderful model village (I will show […]

My cousin and my niece have made quite a few new outfits for their Ksenia (Gotz doll Hannah Rockstar) and I am glad to be able to show them now. Their doll must be really happy to have so many beautiful creations she can wear!

While Marie-Grace was in Russia last year, my friend kotyanya_a made this top and hat for her as a present for my daughter. Marie-Grace was very happy to pose in it for these photos.

Here is my family of Bo Bergemann’s dolls together. While I have been on holiday, Pippa has got a new face which I will show after I am back. Three Ambriels (left to right): Ambriel (Brown Sugar resin), Leda (Shimmer resin), Rebecca (Pink Sugar resin). Ambriels and Pippa – because they look similar and have […]

My Emily is my other busy model! Isn’t she lovely? Again, these outfits were made by my friends Ariadne and kotyanya_a, and they are available for sale.

Another thing that Anika enjoyed was flowers – beautiful frangipani and hibiscus…

During that holiday Anika also enjoyed bits of local Indonesian culture…

In just a few days Anika will be zooming off to England and Russia for a very long summer holiday! And she has started panicking packing… She gathered all the clothes she wanted to take with her on the floor and stared at the pile in shock… ‘Oh my, I will NEVER be able to […]

Gwendolen is one of my best models for demonstrating clothes for Gotz dolls! She works like a bee and is extremely pretty! Every time I look at her I wonder how such a beauty has ever come to live in my house! I’ve had her for 2 years already and love her to bits! All […]

I have changed a wig for my Philippa (Pippa by Bo Bergemann). I think I will try to bond with her by giving her to my friend Ariadne for a new face-up. I love Bo’s artist face-ups, but Pippa is the only one of her dolls in my collection that has a factory face-up (I […]

Some more photographs of my lovely Gotz dolls – Eleanore (Nore) and Isabella (Winter doll). Eleanore is wearing a dress I crocheted a couple of years ago (and the pattern can be found in this blog).
