It was such a beautiful warm and sunny day today! and to top it all off I went to my Steiner mums & bubs group which is held fortnightly. It was great, I love it there, it's just so peaceful and I always leave so inspired. Holly loves seeing the other babies and playing with all the gorgeous handmade woolen pom pom balls, knot dolls and natural tree branch blocks. Holly has really taken to her new blanket doll I made her yesterday, she held it all the way to the group today in the car and didn't cry at all! (Holly isn't a big fan of being restrained, especially whilst traveling in the car) Although she had a little sook on the way home only to fall asleep.

I made another doll this morning, I called him a pillow doll because he's shaped like a little pillow. He's made of 100% recycled wool and stuffed with 100% alpaca. I also took advantage of the weather and took Holly outside for some quality time with Mother Nature and while she was busy playing I took some lovely snaps while modeling the little headband I made a couple of days ago.

At the moment I'm working on a new project, a baby toy. I've used plant dyed 100% wool felt in earthy tones and the same hand painted organic alpaca wool I used in the headband. I've also made little wooden rings which I just sanded and lightly oiled with organic olive oil. Hopefully this little one will be finished by this time tomorrow and on Etsy.
