I would like to share some photos of A Girl for All Time dolls at the London Toy Fair 2017. Two new dolls, introduced at that fair, are now available for pre-order through a crowdfunding campaign. The three modern girls – Maya, Nisha and Bex. Bex. Isn’t she gorgeous! She will be available around March […]

Do you love A Girl for All Time dolls as I love them? Have you been dreaming of owning one? This may be your lucky chance!! A Girl for All Time is doing an exciting Easter Giveaway!! One lucky winner will get the doll of their choice – shipping is anywhere in the world. Over […]

Recently I had a great pleasure of testing a pattern for an Edwardian dress and apron for A Girl for All Time dolls by Ann Van Doren Designs. I highly recommend this pattern. It is very clear and easy to follow and has a beautiful dress with gorgeous details as a result. The outfit consists of […]

For my recently released first PDF pattern for the Parisienne dress for A Girl for All Time dolls I made three dresses. The navy blue one was the first one on which I tested the pattern (even though I made a lot of these dresses in the past, the pattern had to be tested after transferring […]

This dress was a custom order. The requirement was simple: a 1860s dress in a blue colour that would bring Amelia’s blue eyes out. When I saw this fabric I immediately knew that it was exactly what was needed!! The soutache trim is matching the flowers and was an unexpected choice but once I found […]

Continuing with exciting news from the Toy Fair 2016 in London and from A Girl for All Time!! This was A Girl for All Time stand at the Fair. Isn’t it wonderful!! I found it really hard to leave it to walk around. Because this stand was everything I personally could dream of!! So, what […]

Today we woke up to -4C, the lowest we’ve had this winter so far. Still no snow but we’ve got ice! So, my three girls – Sam, Eileen and Caitriona – decided to do a bit of ice-skating on a pond… All knitted items were made by my mum, all sewn things – by me.

It is that time of year… No, not Christmas! Not yet, anyway. It is that time of year when a new A Girl for All Time doll is usually released! This year is no different and I have the greatest pleasure of introducing the newest addition to the A Girl for All Time family – […]

About 2 years ago my daughter had a Victorian Day at her school and I made a 1850-1860s Victorian dress for her. I was intending to make a matching dress for her Victorian A Girl for All Time Amelia as well but run out of time. Besides, at that time I didn’t have a pattern […]

In a view of a new A Girl for All Time that joined my doll family yesterday, I have decided to show these photos despite the fact that I would prefer to show some of the dresses separately first. But never mind, I’ll do it at some point later. So, this is my A Girl […]

To celebrate my birthday, last week I went to Raffles Hotel with my family. And I decided to take one of my dolls with me. Eileen (A Girl for All Time Amelia) was wearing a 1850-60s dress I made for her from a pattern by Thimbles and Acorns. Raffles Hotel was opened in 1887 at […]

Well, this hasn’t been a good week for me – with me having had quite a bad cold (in the tropics!) last week and then now with my daughter being on a school trip far away from home (for the first time on a plane without me!) which makes me nervious, and I don’t seem […]

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 […]

My daughter’s A Girl for All Time Amelia received a new outfit for Christmas – knitted by my mum, of course! It is so beautiful and suits Amelia’s light features so well. She looks like a Snowmaiden in it. I thought, it is just the right timing to show it on the New Year Day. […]

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 […]

Today I spent the whole morning taking photographs for my Etsy shop (but not only!). That brought to my mind a thought of giving a glimpse into my photographing process. That is, taking you behind the scenes… First, there are a couple of fresh photos from today’s photo session. As you can see, I use […]

I had a bit of the large polka-dot fabric left and I really wanted to make a dress for A Girl for All Time dolls out of it. Luckily, I found this plain royal blue fabric in my fabric stash. And here is the dress. It closes at the back with a zipper as usual. […]

Having made three dresses for A Girl for All Time dolls, I thought, it would be a perfect opportunity to take a photo of all of my dolls – Amelia, Matilda and Clementine. I adore the dolls by this company and can’t wait for Lydia to join them in, hopefully, August!!

I loved this fabric at first sight! I guess I should have bought more of it. The only yard that I bought was enough only for 3 dresses – for A Girl for All Time, for Kidz’n’Cats and American Girl dolls… Here is the first of the dresses – for A Girl for All Time […]

In my previous blog article about Clementine I mentioned that my 10-year-old daughter was asking Father Christmas for Amelia. It has happened! She received A Girl for All Time Amelia from Santa for Christmas (who would have doubted that!)!! She is delighted beyond words! (And so am I!) Amelia is the second doll in the line of A Girl for All Time dolls. […]
