the new dollhouse with xmas decoration, and...babies!! :)

when posting on facebook...i forgot to show the pictures here,too! sorry!!!
As many also say..facebook seem to have taken over in comparison to blogs..but i do love the blogs and would like people to keep them up!
I saw a -sort of-  :) similar decoration in a picture on a blog, for a real house...and tried to copy that for the new dollhouse. ...Cupcake-Cafe to be! :)

Weihnachtsdeco am neuen Puppenhaus! :) So aehnlich war es auf einem Foto an einem echten Haus...das wollte ich gern nachmachen! :) 
...................
I recieved a beautiful "tiny"  present from my friend Inge in Germany! We had been talking..via facebook ! :)... ...about tiny dolls for my little prams, as they might sell much better when including a little doll or baby! So , she made some for me! She has the talent to make dolls...which i very much admire! :)
But not only babies did she sent, but also "Lisi"..the bigger sister and now new friend of Praline! :)
Lisi has movable bodyparts, she can stand on her own, also sit, change arm position...she is lovely!
The tiny babies are 2 cm tall...and look ever so cute !

Inge aus Deutschland schickte mir kleine Baby - Pueppchen fuer meine Waegelchen und Bettchen...sie sind 2 cm gross und passen perfekt! Wir sprachen darueber, dass sich die Waegelchen so bestimmt besser verkaufen! :) 
Dazu kam "Lisi", auch von Inge handgemacht- was fuer ein tolles Talent!!! :) Lisi kann allein stehen, sitzen, die Arme bewegen...ein suesses Pueppchen und nun Pralines neue Freundin! :) 

Here they are:

snowmen, bears and "Merry christmas " are presents from Inge! 

Schneemaenner, Baerchen und "Merry Christmas" sind Geschenke von Inge! 

The tiny babies have head and arms, and body. They can be dressed ! :) I asked Inge to make their face "sleeping"...as i wouldn't want 10 screaming wide awake babies around!! :)

Die kleinen Babies haben Kopf und angedeutete Aermchen, und einen Koerper. Sie koennen angezogen werden! Ich hatte Inge gebeten, "schlafende" Babies zu machen, denn ich wollte auf keinen Fall 10 schreiende wache Babies hier haben!! :) 

 aren't they cute? :) 

sind die nicht suess? :) 

..........
Now, more presents! Monika sent a surprise letter..including a nice candle holder (and more)..with more angels for us! :) 
Thank you so much Monika! 
I feel very blessed with so much love and presents from many dear friends! 
In the picture you can also see a little old wooden angel...this is a toy from the 30ties..one of my mother's! 
It is now 8 years that she passed away one day before christmas. We still miss her a lot.

Jetzt, noch mehr Geschenke! Monika schickte einen Ueberraschungsbrief..mit einem huebschen kleinen Kerzenhalter ( und mehr) ..und noch mehr Engelchen fuer uns! :) 
Ganz herzlichen Dank Monika! 
ich fuehle mich gesegnet und froh, mit so vielen Geschenken von lieben Freunden! 
Im Bild seht ihr auch ein altes kleines Holzengelchen. Das ist ein Spielzeug aus den 30ziger Jahren von meiner Mutter. 
Es ist jetzt schon 8 Jahre her seit sie einen Tag vor Weihnachten gestorben ist. Wir vermissen sie sehr.

"Early" Christmas greetings :)

It is the time of the year...again! :) 
All of us quite busy with real life christmas preparations i suppose! :) 
Before i start with ironing tablecloths ...i  took  a christmas picture, to send all my best wishes to all of you, dear friends! 

Es ist wieder soweit...auch dieses Jahr! 
Alle eingespannt, beschaeftigt mit dem "wirklichen" leben in Vorbereitung auf Weihnachten! :) 
Bevor ich mit Tischdeckenbuegeln anfange...hab ich euch noch ein Weihnachtsgruessefoto gemacht, um euch lieben Freunden allen beste Wuensche zu schicken!

As background i choose the beautiful angel-sculpture i was given some years ago.
It is by the Greek sculpterer Jannis Moralis, here is a link to his work. I like it very much !
http://www.mmca.org.gr/europeana/index.php/moralis-yannis-angel-4/

Als Hintergrund dieses Jahr eine Engelskulptur von dem griechischen Bildhauer Jannis Moralis. Ich bekam sie vor ein paar Jahren geschenkt und finde sie so schoen in ihrer Schlichtheit! (oben der Link zu mehr ueber den Kuenstler).

May the angels watch over you, 

keep you and your dear ones 

safe and happy! 

Merry Christmas! 

Moegen Engel ueber euch wachen,

euch selber und all eure Lieben 

beschuetzen, und euch Froehlickeit schenken! 

Frohe Weihnachten !

many special greetings and Thank you from my heart to Ilona and Birgit who sent beautiful Christmas cards and minis! 

I will write about the presents seperately! :) Thank you dear friends! 

( in the picture there is the wonderful wreath and star-candleholder from Birgit already! :) Ilona's minis found their place in the big Santa House...there will be pictures in some days! ) 

Besondere Gruesse und Dank von Herzen an Ilona und Birgit, die liebevolle Weihnachtskarten schickten und wunderschoene Minis! Ich werde noch seperat darueber schreiben :) 

(im Bild ist schonmal der schoene Weihnachtskranz und der Sternkerzenhalter von Birgit! Ilonas Minis sind im grossen Weihnachtshaus..da kommen spaeter Bilder noch! ) 

trash ..to minis...the adventcalender project at http://minitreasures.pbworks.com/w/page/69084751/ac131209

not many words needed...there are instructions on the site of the link...but i suppose you see it anyway..what to do..if you like! :)

little treasures from the basar...make-over!

before 

even plastic can become nicer! :) 

before

after !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

after !!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Getting Santa ready :) Der Weihnachtsmann wieder im Einsatz :)

you might remember, after last year's Cristmas i decided not to put the Santa-doll away for the year..but to keep him around in the dollhouse :)
He didn't show up in my posts during the year..but he was there, and i think it was a good decision...as the year went so well for my miniatures and paper-art ! :)
I am sure..Santa helped! :)

Of course, i had packed away his santa-clothes..which by now i can't remember where ( they will surely turn up AFTER christmas..:) ....so, he got a new outfit today, with a nice shiny fabric...all helped, and he turned out quite pretty!

I know..he isn't the most perfect doll...but he is cute..and i like him :) 

ready to slowly get to work! :) 

....................

fun...and busy! :)

Hi dear friends!
Thanks so much for all kind comments and many sweet birthday wishes after my last post! :)
I again attended the German charity christmas basar this year...and for the first time also sold my work! It was very sucessfull...i am ever so happy and gratefull for that! But it also means...i have to make more little angels and "mice"..:)
At the basar i also found some nice and very useful little furniture, fabrics and bits and ends for minis...you will see them here soon.
Praline and Caramel had some fun meeting new friends :) ...and trying out some clothes! Well..they are all too big..Caramel just fits into the sleeve of a nice jacket...well, we'll do something about that soon!
 Praline wants a dress with strawberry fabric...to impress our friend Flutterby :) from http://biwubaer.blogspot.gr/ !!!
Some pics for you to see...and angels angels angels...as we also sell them in our printing shop :)
Ilona also sent a beautiful little present...i will take pictures soon! Thank you dear Ilona! :)
I am also making a large number of "mini-books" for an order.....you see i am happily busy! :)

and we had to try and paint some tiny "chocolate" Santas...i saw a scene about that in a short film from a Cafe in Germany, where chocolate Santas are being painted with chocolate of course! That was something very much to our likings! :) 

and now angels..big ones and small ones...they all turn out cute, but need their time to be made...:) 

See you soon! :)
