Candle making and offering the latest handspuns for the Goddess to bless them.


Three new wool poppets have been listed – made with our handspun and blessed at our Imbolc altar.



It seems that this year’s Imbolc theme for us is bringing back what has been abandoned – our (very neglected) dollhouse project is moving ahead at last. We are finally seeing a concept and a direction on our Gypsy dollhouse style, and since we have been seriously decluttering we finally have some space to develop the project of the house+garden+shop for our miniature gypsy family. The first doll I made got a clothing makeover (the first of many, I’m sure) and we have started placing our miniatures on the two-wall diorama we finished last year, using parts of a dollhouse we got from another miniaturist. Here are some pics:

Hey, don’t blame the girls, they just moved in! The smaller doll is not finished yet, but they look so cute together, I couldn’t help it.

Handsewn tunic with functional pockets and crocheted bolero.

The (provisional) table was made with a slice of pepper tree. 90% of what you see in the table and the hutch behind was made by us.

Of course, our doll will have a sewing/spinning space: this sewing machine was purchased and completely repainted with my usual style.

Oh my… It brings me back to my childhood, I would have killed to get such great and cute stuff.
It’s never too late to start one, Valiel! I didn’t like dolls very much as a child, and look at me now – I’ve been doll making for over 10 years, and since the first doll I knew it was my calling :).
