Kiki in the Meadow (shop update)

Early in the morning 

When the robin sings 

And the squirrel climbs 

Up the old beech tree 

Kiki opens her eyes 

Moves her toes 

And wiggles her ears 

(left one first, always) 

Then she makes herself
A cup of cocoa
Snuggles under the blanket
And counts snowflakes

 ***

After she has had  

A cup of cocoa 

Kiki puts on 

A warm woolen cape

She walks down the path 

Across the snowy meadow 

To fill the wicker basket  

With firewood and pine cones   

And soon you can see 

Three little clouds of smoke 

Dancing above the chimney 

Of Kiki´s tiny cottage

Two Kiki in the Meadow dolls for the webshop.

Each of them is 34cm/ 13.5" tall, stuffed with organic wool, made with cotton interlock and woolfelt (wig). They come with the clothes as shown, in a tote bag, together with a lavender sachet and a little first aid box (with extra beads for the eyes, sewing thread, embroidery floss, a beeswax crayon and a soft cloth for rosy cheeks.

I have been asked whether Kiki in the Meadow would be the same as the one I shared for a doll making series in Handmade Living magazine some time ago. While the overall appearance is still the same, Kiki in the Meadow dolls made for sale have a slightly modified (= more advanced) body pattern. Except from the wee neck seam, all other seams are machine sewn, including the attachment of the limbs, the feet have a sole. Each doll has with a wee tag sewn on to prove that it has been made by me.

Both dolls can be found here.

Have a warm and cozy evening!
