No summer schools for socks dolls

Socks creature junior on his summer vacation, singing his famous tillalay tillily tilloy...

song. It is a special song for holidays.

I just felt the same this week when I had time off from my weekly workshops, unfortunately tomorrow I had to teach a summer workshop.

The creatures will stay at home, lucky they there are no summer schools for socks dolls.

Lazy crature in the sun

New socks creature

Lazy one.

Colorful too,

When the sun came out he is taking off his shirt,

and get tan.

He is now listed at my etsy dolls store.

Mr. who am I?

Glad to introduce you Mr. who am I.
He is made out of Winnie the pooh sock (you can still see him on his left leg, and a honey jar on the other one).

There is a pink beetle on his socks shirt which could also be worn like a hoodie (with two yellow ears on it).

Now he is listed at my dolls etsy store.

Sitting, finaly

Here she is on her place.

Carpentry crocheting

Today was the last carpentry day.

Tomorrow, a special guest will lunch it.

Armchair and more socks friends

Crocheting on and on, very slowly the armchair is getting a shape. I wonder if it wouldn't be more interesting to leave it like that, but well I am too curious so I keep on.
While my hands were hurt from the constant act of crocheting, new friends were created.

*And now some news:
Tomorrow the traveling group exhibition "Thirty Something" , I am taking part in, will be opened in Netherlands. If you happen to live at this part of the world you can see more details here

Crochet construction

It was long days of crocheting, till I got the construction of the armchair. Some parts I had to re-crochet few times till I realized how I should do it. At first I crocheted all the parts, sew them together and stuff afterwards. It turned out as a big mistake. I had to crochet all the four legs twice, since only when I stuffed them I noticed that the crochet hook I used was too large and the stuffing came out of the stitches.
After re crocheting the legs, suddenly the arms turned out to be too small, so I had to re crochet them too.
It all was a bit exhausting, and yet there is much more work to do till someone could use this armchair.

The crochet doll wasn't really bothered by it, she decided to give it a try as it is.

Couple of friends popped in, they didn't even notice the new furniture but were very curios to see what she is busy with.

As time passed by, and conversation went on and on, covering much of the issues were discussed in the studio lately, she had to give up the comfy padding.
