Posting for no other reason than my dreamlet is just to cute.

Edited to add: Now I have a reason to post this photo. 

While having dinner tonight, we saw Miss T looking at her olive bread and saying, "That's not a penis, it's bread". 

I don't even what to imagine what is whizzing around a 2yr old's brain.

Back in business - well almost

My long awaited parcel arrived today so I set to work catching up on backordered games. 

Even the wee ones couldn't escape being roped into help....

or was that hinder?

Even visitors couldn't escape the production line! Thanks Bec for making the day pass so pleasantly! 

Bugger 'whistling while you work', I'd much prefer chit-chat over coffee. 

I'm just waiting on my printed instructions and I'll be in full production mode. 

so...

Be careful if you get a call from me in the next little while asking for a 'playdate'. You may be getting more than you bargained for!

Little Red Riding Hood

Ohhh it's been a while since I've posted here, so long in fact that blogger has changed it's layout! It's like driving a fancy new car - learning where the indicator & windscreen wipers are, new car smell, shiny & clean......Anyhoo, on to what I'm here to share with you today.

Look at this bonnie Red Riding Hood with her new matching Little Red Riding Hood dolly!

My very good friend Candy was the one who first commissioned me to make her little girl a Red Riding Hood Cape for winter. We sat together (I sewed, she wrangled 5 children) and by dinner time, the cape was made.

Bonnie has just loved the cape, so much so that Candy commissioned a matching doll from Miss Goodie Two Shoes. These wonderful dolls are handmade down on a farm in the SW of Western Australia (you gotta love the talent here in WA!).

The kids & I were over after school having a play at Candy's house when the dolly arrived in the mail. When the satchel was torn open, there was much squealing in delight & leaping around the kitchen (from Candy, that is!). Poor Bonnie didn't even get a look at her new doll until Candy & I had examined every square inch of stunning detail. I have to say, the workmanship in the doll is sublime. She has little ballet shoes, hand crochet flowers in her hair, a removable skirt & cape. 

Whilst there are no custom spots for a Miss Goodie Two Shoes for now, you should head over to the photo album and see the other gorgeous dolls that have come from this wonderful doll maker. While you're hopping around on the interweb, you can visit her fab blog A Country Wife (where does she find the time to farm, raise two gorgeous kids & make dolls! I suppose it's in those wee hours where the rest of us do - ha!).


If you are interested in a custom-made Red Riding Hood Cape, you can see more over at the shop, or shoot me an email.

Thanks Candy for sharing the photos.

Candy Goldsmith Photography does it again!

Sleep well Little Red Riding Hoods - keep one eye open for that wolf though!

Monster_Munch_Game

What do you think of my newest addition to the Mollydag Made family? Nice overbite don't you agree?


These little fellas crept out from my sewing machine today in readiness for tomorrow's Treasure Hunt Market. The monsters were inspired by a soap saver monster I had seen on pinterest from Everyday Chaos. They are all made up and ready for my Monster Munch Game. This game is fabulous as a first game for toddlers. I've been playing with Miss T (2 and 1/2 years) and she loves it.


The aim of the game is to try and guess what the Monster is munching on by feel alone. If you guess right, you get a point! First one to five points wins the game. Included in the game are five sets wooden shapes, although you could play the game with just about anything around the house. 


I'll be listing them in the store early next week when the markets are over and done with. 


Enjoy your fathers day everyone! The father in our household will have the pleasure of the dreamlets all day as I'll be away at the Market ;) Hmmm I wonder who is getting the better end of that stick??!

1, 2, 3, 4, 5...Once I caught a fish alive

How's your weekend been?

Mine's been a hoot! Mr Mollydag took the dreamlets to see the new Thomas the Tank Engine movie on Saturday and left me (and my sewing machine) at home to finish up a bunch of projects that were all on the go at once.

One of my favourites that is finally complete is the Magnetic Fishing Set that I've been working on. I'm so pleased with my little rainbow school of fish I thought I'd play around with some stop-motion animation today to showcase their fishiness. 




Am I not the biggest Mollydag of them all!!! My housewifely duties have been thoroughly ignored this weekend while I indulged myself but I had such a fun time though. The Boy & I even made a short film this afternoon of his Lightning McQueen & Pals racing along the path. 


Stop motion is so easy (time consuming, but easy), you should give it a go. 


Between 'shoots', we drove out to the Midland Farmers Markets. It has been ages since we've made it out there, with one thing or another happening on the weekend and I'm really pleased we did today. It was fabulous to walk amongst the piles of fresh fruit & veges. 


 

The Boy & I played a game while Daddy shopped - Find the Rainbow.We did pretty well with the exeption of blue. Hmmm,no blueberries here in Perth so we had to settle for a stack of blue strawberry boxes (cheating I know). It was a great way to amuse a 4 yr old boy & I'll be playing that game again for sure.

Look at this poppet. She is obsessed with flowers at the moment. It seems she is always carrying some kind of foliage around with her. It is good but on more than one occasion, we've had a mini-meltdown when said posy can't be located as it's fallen on the ground or been forgotten when something else has taken her fancy. Luckily she is most often placated with a new pretty to hold.

Our day was rounded out with a game of Boules with Poppy. The kids just love going up to 'the bush' to his house. There is so much to see and explore.

Well, I hope that you all had as much fun as I did this weekend. I'm now off to put my feet up in front of the idiot box for a scant few minutes before crashing into bed.


Night Night.

New head band to tame the locks

Last night I had a wonderful evening with my friend Jo, the fabulous creator behind Joallie Petit. We chatted, compared notes, drank coffee, ooohed and ahhed over our respective new goodies in the pipeline and between all that, we both did a wee bit of sewing.

Best of all, I came home with a fist-full of new gorgeous hair accessories for my lioness-like flowing locks (its been over 12 weeks since my last haircut!)


Jo, I'll come sew with you anytime :) I definitely feel like I was the winner of that trade.
