Creative Week 22

My creative week was going really well until Thursday night, when I wrenched my shoulder lifting it up as I was knitting to loosen some more yarn off the ball.  So now I am on enforced rest, which is really frustrating.

I achieved my aim of knitting at least one larger doll set.  I made another set for Gregor/Schoenhut boys, this time in a lighter brown.  This set is ready to purchase if anyone is interested and consists of Cardigan, Cap and Variegated Socks.

Henry and Lewis model the set to show the fit.  They are both 16 inches tall.

I have made quite a few tiny clothes, adding to Clipper's Mix n Match Wardrobe.

A reversible apron with pockets that match her two dresses.

A couple of skirts

Some more shawls, definitely needed now it is getting colder.

A little crochet top which led to me making a skirt to match...

and then a little felt jacket...

...and a new pair of boots to match the jacket - because you just have to you know.

Love this set on her, and really pleased with how it turned out.  I am enjoying Clipper very much and have all sorts of ideas for her.

I sewed some more doll bodies and limbs together, so now they are waiting patiently for features and wigs.

Clipper announced she needed a red jacket, and as I couldn't knit but could manage a little gentle hand sewing I made this for her.  Not quite sure how I am going to incorporate it into her Mix n Match wardrobe, but she did point out to me it has green stitching and a green button.  I have (I hope) an oak leaf button SOMEWHERE safe, that I would like to sew on to the jacket.  If I can't find that I might embroider either a leaf or a flower on to it instead.

A blue dress for one of the other TRDs who are currently being made.

A pumpkin, this time a lighter green.

A green dress for Martha.

So another wonderfully productive week.

Coming soon...

I have decided that I really do need to downsize more of my dolls and props, so hoping to list quite a few this coming week.  They will be good prices as they need to go asap. Plus the quicker they go, the less I have to dwell on the parting with them!

I am also negotiable on all the items on my For Sale page, so please do ask if anyone is interested in anything.

For Sale: Rare Red Head Sharp Nose Gotz Boy

SOLD 

It is with great reluctance that I offer up for sale my lovely 'Spencer', my rare sharp nosed red headed Gotz boy.  With our little Percy's ongoing Chemotherapy treatment and costs, needs must.

I have had this lovely boy since 2015, and he has pretty much been in a glass fronted cabinet ever since, apart from the odd photo at Christmas when opening the Advent Calendar, and his initial portrait photos.   I bought him from Shelly for £1400, and would like this for him (preferably as a Family/Friends Paypal payment - feel free to ask other Sasha collectors about my honesty and other sales) plus postage:  Below were his photos (with permission from Shelly)  and description:

60s Gotz Rare Redhead Sharpnose boy . This cute little lad is the first Redhead boy I have ever seen or heard of . He is in gently played with condition and has been restrung so can pose nicely . He has soft and silky nicely styled hair with the shorter cut back seen on the earlier boys . His face paint is vibrant and his lips intact . His outfit is all original and in good order .  

Below are my photos that I took upon his arrival.

Home on Leave

Looks like someone has arrived home.

Matthias can't wait to catch up with all the news.

I bet the other kids will be pleased to see him.

For Sale: Kathe Kruse Boy

Sadly my wonderful Kathe Kruse Boy is also looking for a new home  He is from the 1970s and has his original outfit and tag. His foot is marked 1977 - see photo.  His hair is a little sparse in places, again see photos.  His body is in lovely condition, although the hands are slightly faded as would be expected in a doll of this age considering the rest of his body is clothed.  Again see photos.

£265 negotiable for those willing to pay as 'family/friends' plus postage.

Please feel free to ask any questions.
