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.

Meet Verne.

Owen has an imaginary octopus.  His name is Verne.

Verne was knit using a pattern by Hansi Singh.  http://www.ravelry.com/projects/jaybirdfinnigan/octopus-2
