Questions, questions, questions :-)

It was a beautiful day and the little ones were sitting in the kitchen while Uncle Ukki prepared lunch.
They were chit-chatting about all kind of stuff and admiring the new wall paper Uncle Ukki received from a gnome from the other side of ( this) world.
Uncle Ukki finally decided to put up a painting he had for a long time and he was in a very good mood.

Barby was reading quietly as usual when suddenly she asked: "Uncle Ukki, I've read the Gnome book from A to Z but there is something I cannot find . . . . ."
"What is it Barby dear ?" Uncle Ukki asks her.

"Well, I'm trying to find out why the sky is blue ! I did check your Great Book of Knowledge but there are missing pages and where the missing pages should be there was this very old photograph."

"Yes yes look Uncle Ukki ! This fell out of your book!"
 Arthur held up a very odd looking picture.

"Oh dear. . . ." Uncle Ukki replied and he paused for a minute.
He had a frown on his face as if he was thinking very hard.
"Children, the man on the photo and the man on the painting are one and the same man.
He is the Great King Ollamh and he is one of the few Gnomes who is responsible for feeding a creature called Skugga."

The little ones started talking all at once: who is Skugga ! what does he feed the Skugga ! what does that has anything to do with the blue sky!  why are the pages missing?!!!

Uncle Ukki raised his voice and told them to be quite.
"CHILDREN ! Our lunch is ready so first : lets eat ! "
 While we eat you take a close look at the painting of King Ollamh, it's a magical painting and if we call him with our thoughts he will hear us and come soon and tell you himself what 
his task is in this world."

Uncle Ukki has said enough, the little ones were quite as a mouse :-) and while enjoying their lunch they looked up at the painting and tried very hard to think about this Great King.

 To be continued. . . . .

The cutest Sloths !!!

It took some time to finish these two.
The real ones are so super cute, I felt like I could never get close to that adorableness.
But the last few days the sun was shining, it was so very nice outside and I was totally relaxed so I gave it another go.
That must have helped, everything looked much brighter and well, here they are :
Two playfully little Sloths !
Of course they had to bother Pinky 
 But Pinky didn't feel like playing so they climbed through the apple tree


 After a while they were tired and crawled inside their basket :-)
 It took just a minute to fall asleep . . .

I've been busy. . . .
I didn't want to post about this little gang until they were all  finished !
It took some time because the weather was so fine and I wanted to make my garden pretty again as well.In the meantime I played with them . . . . .


And here are the final mug shots :-)




They will be in my Etsy shop  :-)

When do little boys cry. . .

Reading Bambi. . . . . .



I wanted to make another doll, a girl doll, but since I haven't made a doll this size in a while I didn't notice I was out of joints.
Ordered them.
While I'm waiting for the joints I can start with an Eagle Owl then, mmmmm out of big eyes.
Ordered them.
Oh yes, it's Monday. . . . . . .


p.s. The boy is in my Etsy shop in a couple of hours :-)

Back to the beginning. . . .

I started making dolls in 2009, these are the first dolls I made.
I tried to put the pics in a chronological order but it won't let me do it :-(
The first two dolls are the first dolls I made and the rest is completely random.
Maybe you can guess if there's progress ?









































This was just a selection from the collection and I'm working on this very sad boy now :
Well, I thought you would like to see some of the children I've made :-)
Helen XXX  p.s. I have no idea why the pics are not in a nice row :-(
