My Doll Haven: Gotz Kitty

Everyone Needs Playtime

In our hectic, modern lives, many of us focus so heavily on work and family commitments that we never seem to have time for pure fun. Somewhere between childhood and adulthood, we stopped playing.

When we carve out some leisure time, we’re more likely to zone out in front of the TV or computer than engage in fun, rejuvenating play like we did as children. But play is not just essential for kids; it can be an important source of relaxation and stimulation for adults as well.

There doesn’t need to be any point to the activity beyond having fun and enjoying yourself. By giving yourself permission to play with the joyful abandon of childhood, you can reap oodles of health benefits throughout life.

Kitty's New Outfit

Her pink floral dress is made from double gauze. This was the first time I had used this fabric and it's not the easiest fabric to lay and cut, but it turned out okay. The tunic (a new design) is 21 wale cord and they both close at the back with press studs (snaps).

Tuesday

Cruising the High Seas

A couple more creations for Katie and Kitty.

Tried a new yarn and different lacy stitch on the bottom of the knitted dress, and I think it turned out okay, but I may add a little crocheted edge to the hem.

Kitty forgot her book, so she decided just to sit back and relax.

Slightly different version of my simple dress, using a torn ruffle and hem. Not too sure I like the straps doing up on the outside, I may need to change them, what do you think?

Friday

Girls in Wonderland

A few more garments finished for Emma and Kitty.

I am really pleased with how the knitted dress turned out, as I haven't used the Knit Picks Chroma Twist before and wasn't sure how it would look. I really love how the colours blend, this is colour called "Drawing Room" but I will probably order a different colour next time, perhaps something a little brighter.

I'm glad I ordered the grey shoes though, they match perfectly with this knitted dress. :)

New Girls - Emma and Kitty

I have been waiting for these girls to arrive for some weeks now. Usually my Gotz dolls arrive within a few days of ordering, but that's when I only order one at a time, this time I ordered these two girls at the same time which made the shipping box really large, so it was sent with a different carrier . . . hence the long wait, it was a real test of my patience. :)

In the clothes they arrived in.

This is Emma, she has lovely blonde hair with a centre part and grey brown eyes and she is wearing one of my outfits that I knitted and sewed while she was on her long trip home. I also managed to squeeze her feet into a pair of lovely white Boneka shoes.

A close up, as you may have noticed, she has the same face sculpt as Clara.

This is Kitty, she also has lovely blonde hair, but with a side part and green eyes and she is wearing an outfit that is the reverse to Emma's. She is still wearing the black cat shoes she arrived in. Kitty is a MDBF Chosen doll and limited to 250 in this colour way.

This close up shows she has the same face sculpt as Katie (including the freckles which I want to remove if I can).

I just need to order a blonde Hannah (with a fringe) to complete my blonde trio, but she can wait for a little while.

Hope you all have a wonderful dolly week planned, I do! :)
