My doll kit from Weir crafts arrived and I am very satisfied with what I received. The materials are good, the instructions are super easy to follow for a beginner such as myself and the package arrived even faster than I expected. Recommended! I am already well on my way with making the cuddly doll for Ósk's first birthday. This is quite the addictive craft, I must say. My knitting needles haven't been idle though, actually I am working on three different projects with not much happening in any one of them, heh. One stitch at a time, I say. In my defense I have been very busy....
... moving!

We're almost done settling in our new home, if you can look past the fact that our bookshelf is undergoing a bit of a makeover so our books are still all in boxes and that I keep moving the photos and paintings around since I just can't seem to find their "right place" in our new home. Other than that, it's like we've been here always. I am really in love with this apartment and would like to live here forever.

I seized the opportunity and put a lot of my children´s toys into the storage room. Clutter and non-quality materials seem to so easily pile up in play rooms. I have been doing some self-education reading this book and this book (both great!) and I have to say it's really eye-opening.
And I finished the small Waldorf doll - my first one ever! He was a gift to Úlfur who is so happy with this mama-made toy, he plays with it every day. He named the doll Álfur, the Icelandic word for "elf" and finger knitted him a scarf. The little gnome has even been given his own little home with paintings on the wall and what not. Joy for everyone :)
Crafting on and along with Frontier Deams - so many craftalicious links!
What a lovely doll you have crafted. Well done you. :)
