I'm working in the studio this week, but I have no fun photos to update you with... So here is a sweet #tbt to four years ago, when I caught my dolls cuddling in the studio ❤️ #pumpkinhausdolls #peoplettes #earthlies #throwback #throwbackthursday #clothdollartist #wooldolls #waldorfinspired

I've got a tray full of limbs ready to be stuffed... I am using a really nice skin tone for this batch of girls. I am excited to add more diversity (and hair colors) as I make more Madchen... as soon as I am able to order more supplies ❤️ #minimadchen #pumpkinhausdolls #clothdollartist #dollmaker

Oh happy morning... I'm relaxing, having tea with my new boyfriend, and plotting my soon to be day back in the studio. We finished up all of our schooling last week, and I have nothing, and no one, to write up a schedule for today... Bliss. Are you jealous of my companion? He's the sweetest @humbletoys Thank you so much for bringing him to life ❤️ I'll share photos of my little lady soon! #homeschoollife #dollmaker #clothdollartist #humbletoys #myboyfriendisbetterthanyours

Yay! I got the second round of @cjkoho hand dyed minis ❤️ my wee socks will have beautiful partners soon! We are finishing up our homeschool year this week, so my doll work will be back in full swing soon! In the meantime... You'll find me over here, knitting tiny things! 😘 #sockknitting #littlesocks #cjkoho #handdyedyarn #dollmaking #clothdollartist #homeschoollife #knitting

A little #tbt Some of my peoplettes with their beautiful, handspun tresses 😍 I wish I still had the time I used to have, when the kids were smaller, and I spun yarn all day long... #handspun #handspunyarn #pumpkinhausdolls #pumpkinhaus #clothdoll #waldorfinspired #raggedy

A new little hat design I'm working on... It's not quite finished, but I couldn't wait to show you the detail from the back 🌼 I think all sides of a doll are so very important! 😘 #crochet #dollhelmet #bearhelmet #minimadchen #clothdollartist #dollmaker #dollmaking #handdyedyarn #daisy

It's been a chilly week here at the Pumpkinhaus... The weird weather has me cozied up and knitting a lot of pretty little pieces for the next batch of sweet Madchen. I'll take photos in the morning, when I have better light. For now, here is a sweet photo of the girls outside by the ravine, and you get a good look at the toddler hairs, peeking out of their caps 😍 #gnome #pixie #clothdoll #clothdollartist #pumpkinhausdolls #minimadchen #bearhelmet #dollmaker #dollsforfriends #ilovedolls

It's always about that second sock, amiright!? 😂 As soon as I finish knitting, Tilly will be ready to hit the shop! She also has a brand new red gnome hat as well ❤️🍄❤️ I love red #minimadchen #tillymadchen #pumpkinhaus #pumpkinhausdolls #littlesocks #missbabs #handdyed #tinyshoes #clothdoll #clothdollartist #dollmaker #handmadetoys

Today I am digging into my new yarns to knit (and crochet) some new pieces for the next batch of girls to hit the shop... So thankful for spring break this week! In the meantime, this little one is waiting in the shop to find a new home, along with two of her sisters!

Back home with my Yarncon loot... So much goodness to be had, and just about everything is going to be used for doll knits ❤️ (tap the picture to see!) I was really on the hunt for hand dyed minis, which were hard to find unless they were ombré sets. Only a few booths had them to my liking... I also scored a lot of buttons, my favorites being the handmade ruler shanks! And yes, I came home with the mondo huge circulars 😂😂😂 I had to! #Yarncon #vacation #chicago #shaydayfiberarts #balwenwoodworks #yarnhollow #cjkoho #littlepatchalpacas #shaydayfiberarts #whyknotfibers #dragonflyfibers #bunnybadgerfibers #maybeacrafted
