Story Time. Starring Penny and Jones.

This is Penny, Jones's little sister.  She is a Lati White Mystic Bayer head on a Pukipuki body.  Her adorable jammies were made by Jen, over at Spampy.

Story time is at 7:00.  It is now 7:06.  Penny is not fond of waiting.

7:09.  Still waiting.

7:13.  Penny takes matters into her own hands.

Penny:  You are late.  You were supposed to read Horton to me 13 minutes ago.

Jones:  I'm busy.

Penny:  If you don't read to me right now I'm telling Mom that you were playing Pac-Man when you were supposed to be studying for your french test.

Jones:  You are very devious for 4.

Penny:  You have not even begun to understand the extent of my powers.

7:20.  Jones Hears a Who.

Jones:  "Because, after all, a person's a person, no matter how small."

Penny:  That's right!  And that is why I should not have to wait an extra 13 minutes for my story!

New Girl at School

Henry just transfered to Jones's school. She passed him in the hall on her way to lunch and he really wanted to say "hi" to her, but then he dropped his stuff all over the floor.  Oh, Jones.

The Best Day Ever

Today is the best day of Jones's life.  He came home from school to find an Apple II Computer IN HIS LIVINGROOM!!

His Dad is a high school math teacher but he has to teach Data Processing next year because they don't have enough teachers to teach it.  Mr. Jones know absolutely NOTHING about computers so the school is letting him keep one at home over the summer so he can learn enough about them to teach it.  Mr. Jones says he has no intention of learning anything more than the basics and he will ask Jones if there is anything he doesn't understand.





Jones can't wait for July, when he gets to spend a whole week staying downtown with his Aunt Pam and going to computer programming camp at the university.

New Neighbours

A new family moved into the neighbourhood, and Robin Goodfellow has been doing some babysitting.
 

Will found boxes of old comic books in his grandmother's attic . . .

Libby:  "Will and me are reading the comic books together!

Me:  "It looks like Will is reading and you are playing with the boxes."

Libby:  "I reads better with a box on my head."

No Cherry Blossoms for Jones

The pollen count was really high over the weekend - bad news for Jones, with his severe seasonal allergies.  He stayed in and watched re-runs of Star Trek on CBC while his parents took his little sister to see the cherry blossoms in High Park.

Underoos!

Owen got some very special underwear this week - Superman Underoos!  Apparently they actually have super powers!  Good thing octopuses have 3 hearts because poor Verne looks like he might have a heart attack!

Owen's Underoos were made by Jen over at Spampy Stuff.  She makes great clothes for tiny BJDs.  Check her out!

Owen's Room

People collect dolls for all sorts of reasons.  I collect them because I like to make them stuff.  It is so much fun to imagine a character in its own little world and then try to create that world.  Owen, my Pukipuki Piki, is a 5 year old boy.  Pukipuki are 11cm tall.  When I build things for Owen and his older sister, Meggie, I try to stick to 1:10 scale.  I have been working on Owen's room and it is a lot of fun making little boy things (reminds me of when my 14 year old was that age)!  Still some more work to do, but I am pleased with it so far.

New Knitting Pattern!

I just published a new pattern for Pukifee size dolls.  It is the "High Park Play Dress for Pukifee" and it includes 2 stitch patterns for the bottom part of the dress.  The dress is seamless and knit with lace weight yarn.  The pattern is available at Ravelry and Etsy.

Grab a Book and Read with your Octopus!

I got a little carried away making tiny picture books!

Movie Night.

High Park Play Dress for Pukifee

The High Park Play Dress is knit seamlessly, from the top down, in lace weight yarn. No sewing up is required!

The dress bodice fastens at the back with a sew-on snap. The bottom part of the dress is knit in the round and there are 2 different stitch patterns to choose from.

The dress may fit similarly sized ball jointed dolls like Lati Yellow, but it has only been tested on Pukifee. Pukifee are 15.5cm tall with a 9cm chest circumference.

The High Park Play Dress pattern is available at Ravelry and Etsy.

House Sweater Knitting Pattern for Littlefee

The House Sweater is knit seamlessly, from the top down, in fingering weight yarn. It fastens with 1 or more snaps on the seed stitch button band. No sewing up is required!

Make one in your doll’s favourite house colours, school colours, team colours, or any colours at all! 

Charts for the pocket include the initials for each of the Harry Potter houses.  If your doll is not off to Hogwarts, instructions for the Rainbow Sweater variation are also included.

The sweater is shown on Fairyland Littlefee dolls, but may fit other “YOSD” sized dolls. The House Sweater is knit from the top down, so it is easy to adjust the length of the body and sleeves to fit your particular doll.   The pattern for the House Sweater is available at Ravelry and Etsy.
