QUEEN OF SQUIDS - GREY EXTRA SOFT CAPELET / WRAP
"I am in my early 40ies; I have studied social sciences, particularly psychology, and most of my life I had been doing some office work. I have travelled quite a lot and have seen so many countries and people who all urge the same – harmony. Because of some dramatic changes in my life I have encouraged myself to realize my dream and to do what I really love, thus bringing me joy, relaxation and harmony. I have been knitting since I remember myself; it has always given a possibility to differ from the crowd with my appearance, to express myself.
I get my inspiration from all around – nature, people, some events, the texture and the colour of the yarn itself and my head is always full with new images and ideas. I wish my hands could follow my brain as fast!:) I have never in my life used any patterns or instructions, I create everything instantly!
I truly hope that you like my creations and they will bring you new experiences and sensations!"

Sewing doll clothes & Greys and Creams

So, I've been busy sewing doll clothes the last few days. Trying to come up with some new styles and new ideas so that things don't get borring. Using the same dress pattern over and over tends to get grusome after a while. I love the puffy polka-dotted dress. I just used my bubble dress pattern, only I didn't finish off the bottom, as usual. Instead I added a fun, ruffle trim. I got the pattern for the Momoko dress from my dolly dolly pattern book, as well as the pattern for the raincoat from the same book (slightly modified). What do you think?
I have really been into greys and creams lately...
