Now Valentines usually means soppy n sweet and lots of red and pink - but  - well you should know me by now - I like to keep things a little bit different! Green, grey and blue are my colour crushes at the moment, each baby trimmed with snippets of fabric I have been coveting for some time ( just waiting for the right doll to claim them!)

I have chosen some pretty names for them too, all of which mean "Love".

Each will be available to adopt tomorrow at noon (gmt) in my etsy shop ready to share lots of love and cuddles in time for Valentines day!
I will also have available three custom slots for dolls to be made in June, these will be my last custom slots for  a little while as my family and I are planning on moving home later this year, as soon as we are settled into a new place I will open up the order book once more :)

Little Pru

Some dolls heart and soul shine through from the earliest moments of creation, Pru is one such doll! As I wound the wool to form her little face, her cheeks puffed out in a smile I knew we would soon see! Sure enough smiling eyes and cheery disposition emerged and baby Prudence was born. 

Prudence is a 12 inch doll and has pose able arms and legs which makes her great fun for playtime, she sits alone or stands with a little support.

Pru has a reversible Cath Kidston fabric dress, linen bloomers with pink elastic waist and legs, a rosebud hair pin and little pair of felt slippers, with beaded flowers on the toe.

She is looking forward to meeting her new family in Cornwall soon!

Matilda Rose and Poppet

Here we are in December! The festive spirit has truly arrived in the Wadey household and needless to say all the girls in my studio are very excited about Christmas! Some are old enough to remember our little traditions, but for others this is their first Christmas and it has been a delight to watch their tiny faces light up at the sight of all our decorations, curious faces peeking into boxes of baubles and pine cones ( I wont mention the tangle one doll made of herself and a string of fairy lights!)

 Today Matilda Rose, Little Poppet and I took a winters walk, the girls so loved crunching the fresh snow!

Little Poppet had to be carried some of the way!

Her knitted bonnet keeps those little ears warm!

Poppet

She is a big girl and can sit all by herself!

Matilda Rose does love her little Poppet

Festive Friends!

 Before long little Poppet grew quite cold and tired and asked to be carried, we all walked home, took off our snowy boots and cuddled up inside with a cup of spiced tea.

Warm and cozy with a cup of tea!

All ready to meet their new mama

 Matilda Rose and Poppet will be available to adopt in my etsy shop(link) they are so hoping to be adopted before Christmas - though I must admit I will miss these two dear little girls!



Because the festive season is a busy time for me, what with making gifts for my loved ones, holiday visitors and an awful lot of baking! I have decided that little Matilda Rose and Poppet will be my last dolls of the year, though of course you know me, I won't be able to keep away from the studio for all that long so have decided to use the winter break to work on some new patterns. Once again I am so grateful for all the love and support I have received over the last year, to think that my little Studio began selling dolls last April is incredible and it warms my heart to think of all my little dolls loved all over the world. Thank you all for helping me to do what I love, I hope that 2014 brings you all peace and happiness xx Scarlett xx

Autumn Zev

This is Zev, my very last custom doll of the year.  She is a fun loving little girl, who so enjoys the simple things in life, though a little impatient at times I must admit - truth is I just can't knit that fast little Zev! 

We have had great fun taking her upload photos, it was a beautiful autumn morning and the colours were just spectacular! Zev felt very special to be the only one who was all in blue!

And lastly I just have to include this photo, I always end up with a couple like this at every photo shoot - my little boy investigating something in the background, someday maybe I will dedicate a post to these photos, they make me smile every time I see them!

Christmas Pixies

Now you would be forgiven for thinking that these dear little dolls were Elves, they have little pointed ears, a distinctive giggle and just adore bright and shiny objects. However my friends, these are Christmas Pixies!

Here in Devon (and generally the southwest) we are famous for our Pixie folklore and legend, I have spent many a childhood afternoon searching the garden for these playful creatures, and once I really thought I saw one collecting honey suckle blossoms!

Thus so I found it only fitting that my Christmas dolls should be Pixies. These happy souls simply love the festive season, gathering delicious foods, singing, dancing and generally making merry!
I'm sure they will take some good old west-country cheer with them wherever they go!

November Nestlings

Oh how these mischievous little ones have kept me busy over the past month! It's been a flurry of fur and tails, foxes chasing rabbits, then rabbits chasing foxes! The poor bears have just wanted to snooze bless them, I think it's getting close to their winter hibernation! Still all these Nestling babies have found their new homes, and are looking forward to lots of love and cuddles come Christmas day!

Baby mine

 Is there anything more precious in this world than a new baby?

Their peachy soft skin, fuzzy newborn hair, pudgy wrinkled legs and cozy new smell!

awww kisses

I have to say, like all mamas I am smitten with my baby, it is so wonderful to watch her grow, changing a little every day - her chunky hands just starting to reach out and grasp for her favorite toy, little "bun bun" 

the best of friends

"bun bun" the tiny velour rabbit

Making her has certainly taken me back to the first days of my motherhood, knitting dear little bonnets and booties, marveling at how a foot could be so tiny and perfect!

Even my biggest baby couldn't resist a cuddle with this special little newborn!

Little baby is available to adopt in my etsy shop, along with "bun bun" the rabbit and her clothing and blanket set.
