Also in the shop tomorrow, two Lucius foxes in their cherished bow ties.
i'll be back next week with a new Lumi and Lewis couple. the new Lumi will be number 100 so a nice little outfit is required for the occasion.
hope to see you tomorrow at the shop update x

hello and sorry for the bad photographs, need to invest in some proper spotlights. it's a long time since i last made some babettes. those ones will be in the shop tomorrow Friday at 4.30pm GMT.
10% of the sales will go to Disasters Emergency Committee in response to the haiti earthquake appeal

some sun catchers made by the boys with a bit of sunlight earlier this week
and a new couple on their way to Petit Deco
I have had a few requests for some Babette dolls lately, there will be some in my next update at the end of next week hopefully
Else opened a new shop!

the sunset light a few days ago
oops it's mid January already. the beginning of the year is being painfully slow, first stranded by the snow (no school for a week), then our laptop broke down.
Lewis above is on his way to petit deco
i will make a few creatures for the shop soon and hope for an update at the end of the month
thank you to Irene for her lovely post here
enjoy your weekend

it is always a pleasure to start a new year with Camilla's new calendar. the cover is so nice, i'll turn the page over tomorrow.
the bird i made for my sister is still on my desk as we never made it to France for Christmas (we did try but a 6 hours ordeal at the shuttle mixed with a sick child in the car forced us to drive back home, our worst journey ever)
so i had time to tidy up my desk and put a new tablecloth on.
the inspiration board (behind the bird) has been cleared and is awaiting new and fresh images.

Happy 2010!

A selection of the dolls made in 2009 (i notice a lot of blue, yellow, green, stripes..hmm, time for a new palette?)
2009 was a challenging year, it has been a hard one at times but i made it through. this is a happy place so we'll focus on the positive.
the best has been about making new friendships, reinforcing old ones, collaborating with two beautiful people, and most of all getting your support and encouraging words throughout the year. Thank you for visiting the shop and the blog, I haven't always had the time to respond properly to each of your comment but be sure they are all very cherished.
Wishing you all a healthy, creative and wonderful new year!

A bird-in-progress i started to make in the summer as a late birthday present for my sister which i then hoped to offer as a Christmas present.. very much inspired by (and very far from being as lovely as) Abigail Brown's exquisite birds.
Lucius is enjoying a lovely rocking chair Alessandra sent me, she also made the little lavender cushion Lucius is leaning on. Alessandra, you're a star, thank you very much!
I am hoping to cross the channel tomorrow, weather permitted, i wish you all a lovely and relaxing Christmas! x
