Citizens Collectible: customised dolls

Friday, July 19th, 2013

Customised stuff is awesome. Take dolls for example. You could buy your kids regular dolls to play with OR you could buy them Citizens Collectible dolls, customised to look like your entire family!

There are loads of different options available, including different hair styles and colours, even what clothes your family should be wearing. And your pets can join in the fun too!

Personally I’d be making my man grow a beard just because I think it looks amazing on the dolls! :D

Adorable onesies

Citizens Collectible also make adorable onesies featuring a host of cute characters.

Your little one in a Citizens Collectible onesie cuddling your entire family in plush form? Brilliant!

An amigurumi owl

Friday, February 1st, 2013

Any crochet fans out there? This one’s for you! I (finally - it took many attempts) learnt how to crochet a couple of years ago now; I find it a handy skill to have when a new baby is born. When my lovely friends Brendyn & Sachi became parents to a beautiful boy Ren it was time to hit Etsy and find a new creature to crochet!

I came across Fresh Stitches and fell a little in love with her owl creation. What is it with owls at the moment? They’re everywhere!

Tips and tutorials

Stacey sells lots of other crochet patterns too, and what I really love about this particular crocheter is how much she shares on her blog. The pattern came with plenty of clickable links taking you directly to a video tutorial ensuring you’d know exactly what you were doing.

I made the owl in a slightly lighter weight wool and, as I also crochet quite tightly, he’s a little smaller than the pattern suggested. But I don’t think that makes him any less adorable! Meet Ohmi the owl…

I quite fancy crocheting a bonsai tree next :)

Doodles to cuddles

Thursday, September 27th, 2012

I first came across the awesome business Child’s Own Studio some time ago, but for some reason never featured it on the blog! My lovely friend Thea reminded me about it and, before I forget again, I’m bringing it to you!

It’s a simple, but brilliant, idea that takes a child’s drawing and turns it into a stuffed toy! Since the first toy, crafter Wendy has made a few hundred and now has so many requests that she’s currently not taking on orders. But don’t worry, she’s kindly set up a Softiemaker Showcase on her website, featuring other crafters that can turn your child’s drawing into a toy.

Have a look at some examples of her work, I think it’s amazing how closely the toys resemble the drawings…

This would make an awesome, unique gift for a relative. Just get your child to draw them a picture and send it off to get it stuffed! Or sneakily send off a drawing for your child. Imagine how exciting it would be when their drawing, in 3D form, arrives in the post?! I love it!
