Little white elephants!

My dear friend Magdalena gave me a lovely big piece of fabric last week, telling me to use it to make something for my dolls.  How could I refuse!  So today I made a dress for one of my Wichtel girls, Christel, from Schildkrot.  The poor girl hasn't had anything new since she got here last summer!  So as you can imagine, today she is very happy!  Her sweet little bear was a gift from our dear friend Ginger, but for one of my Sasha girls!  Christel says she's just borrowing it!!

Thank you for visiting, I hope you all have a lovely week ahead!

Big hugs, Sharon xxx

The Wichtel toddlers enjoy the summer heat...

The three little Wichtels by Rosemarie Muller, are enjoying their summertime.  The weather has been incredibly hot...just as I like it really, it could be summertime all year for me :)   They begged me to get their paddling pool out so yesterday, as it was extremely hot, high 30s centigrade, I obliged.  I set the pool up in the shade of our pergola because I didn't want their delicate baby skin burned ;)  Please excuse their nakedness....they are only tiny after all :)

Neele and Benny got straight in once the paddling pool was filled.  Both wore their armbands as none of them have yet learned to swim.  Christie was a little reluctant to join them at first.  This is actually an 'action' shot....just as Neele decided to fall face first into the water!!!

Fortunately, after her fall, her hair dried very quickly...phew!!! (Being the original Muller doll and more expensive than the other two, it was typical that she fall face first into the water!)

No harm done!  And was soon up and ready to play once again.....

Christie is still a little hesitant but felt a bit more secure once she had her rubber ring....

Once in the water, Christie was keen to join the other two in a game, using their inflatable ball...

Charlotte (Gotz Happy Kidz) is keeping a careful watch on the three of them, after all we don't want any accidents!

Seeing how hesitant Christie still is, she reassures her that she'll be safe with her rubber ring...

 Poor Christie, she's still not sure!!!!  

Benny is proving to be a proper little water baby!  He wanted to remove his armbands but Charlotte insists that he's better off with them on...just in case!

"But I'm like a fish!" he tries to tell her!!

"Come on little fish" she says "it's time for you to have some lunch!"  

The kids get themselves dried so that they can come inside and eat their lunch.  The pool will still be there afterwards kids!!  

Now that they're actually out of the pool and dried, Christie gets upset and wants to 'swim'......kids!  Who'd have 'em eh? ;) 

I hope you've enjoyed seeing my little Wichtels enjoying their summer!  We hope you're enjoying good weather too!

Dolls are:  Neele (blond plaited bunches) is an original OOAK by Rosemarie Wichtel, Christie (brunette girl) is Crystal and Benny (strawberry blond boy) are both by Rosemarie Wichtel for Schildkrot, Germany.

Charlotte is Happy Kidz Charlotte by Gotz, 2016.

 

An early birthday present....

I've liked the cuteness of these little dolls for some time, in fact really since seeing them on Barbara's blog,  Dolls Garden  but it wasn't until I recently saw some of them 'in real life' that I decided that I would like to have one.  So when my husband asked me if there was a doll I'd like for my birthday, I asked if maybe I could have one of these.....the doll in question is a Wichtel by Rosemarie Müller.  Of course being the very kind and generous person he is, he said no probs, and told me to go ahead and order what I wanted!!!

So along comes this little sweetie from Villa le Bosquet in France.  She arrived safely on Thursday of last week and being the 'child' I am at heart, ;)  I couldn't wait to open her box.  She was packaged so nicely, her brown box is very 'natural' looking, sort of corregated brown cardboard, and then that box was wrapped in bright lime green paper.  The doll herself was peeping out through the cellophane front and she was safely tied in with strands of natural coloured rafia.  She was dressed in a very well made and pretty outfit, consisting of a check blouse with short puffed sleeves and rounded collar with real little buttons and buttonholes up the back, then she had a  pink fine needlecord pinafore over the top that did up with buttons and metal loops, and was decorated with an applique flower on one side at the bottom.  This too did up at the back with a tiny button.  Her knickers and socks were white and she had pink real leather Mary Jane shoes from the company Wagner in Germany.

These two photos are borrowed from the Villa le Bosquet website:

As you can see she has a blond wig which is styled into two plaits which are then wound up onto the top of her head and then tied with pink ribbons.  Her eyes are handblown glass eyes from the German company Lauscha.  I understand that these are considered to be the very best glass eyes on the market :)  She's such a nice sturdy little doll and stands very well without needing support, I'm very impressed with her!

In anticipation of her arrival, I decided to make her some overalls so that she could go and play as soon as she got here ;)  and so the next photos show her wearing those and the white short sleeved tee shirt that I also made.

The doll herself is one of a kind in that although the facemould is used on other dolls, the eyes/hair/outfit combination is only used the once.  And her given name is Neele.  I think I will keep that name as I am told it is actually a little flower.

I hope Neele will have lots of adventures here at our house and I look forward to sharing them with you here on my blog.

Have a great week everyone and I hope the sun shines where you are!
