Happy couple

I could hardly wait to post this bride and groom - they arrived in Germany two weeks ago but they are wedding gifts and we didn't want to spill the beans. The day has come today!

The drawing was made by the daughter of one of the couple's friends and it was ordered by another friend. As it was hanging on a door in the couple's house, some conspiracy was needed to get hold of it...

Here is the result:

And the original work of art:

And this is what their friend wrote to me :

"the bride and groom have arrived, walking on tip-toe through a field of flowers, and accompanied by a really sweet little bird :-)

they are just *perfect* and i am 684% sure that the real couple will be charmed and delighted. in fact they will probably fall over... 

i spent hours just looking at every little detail :-) love the bows on the bride's shoes.. she has a fringe just like her doll's, and the groom's hair is also just like his doll's hair. ha ha! i am so looking forward to handing them over"

Congratulations, real(ly) happy couple!

Sári's tiny little kitty

What can I say...? It is a super cute mini cat made by Sári (6,5 years old) and me (a bit older).

Maya again

Can you remember Maya's softie? Well, Maya has a loving family and her mom asked me to make something for her twin sister based on the original drawing. She liked the holder I sewed from my nephew's bike-drawing, so she asked for a similar linen holder.

Here it is:



 And the very beginning:

Ladder elephant vacuum cleaner and his friends

Donkey remake

Another special request: Martin got this donkey called Samit when he was born. They became best friends but unfortunately Samit got lost some months ago, which made Martin very sad. When his mom found my site she thought I could reproduce the donkey. I was lucky to find the perfect male sock and Martin's mom started to prepare him for the arrival of "new" Samit - they were wondering whether he can find his way back home. And guess what! Samit was knocking at their door this morning - on Martin's birthday!

Dad's dragon

Well, it's not a kid's drawing. It's a father's drawing for his daughter. And his adult daughter asked me to bring the dragon to life.

When she was a little girl, her dad used to draw this dragon for her all the time. It was a very special memory for both of them. When her father passed away she wanted to have a little part of him to hold onto. I couldn't say no and the dragon has come to life.

(It was never drawn in colour but these are the colours she imagined for her dragon.)
