tumbleberry toys whimsical one of a kind natural dolls home about tumbleberry toys whimsical one of a kind natural dolls feeds posts comments pictures from a birthday party may 22 2012 by tumbleberrytoys tire swing amy took these gorgeous shots last week at a birthday party we were at on a gorgeous colorado evening the evenings here in late spring early summer really can t be beat the light is perfect the weather flawless and if amy has her camera along everyone looks like models for some magazine i love the way kids are in pictures i saw grace swinging truman in the tire swing as a halo of light glowed behind them and begged amy to run out with the camera and get a picture then evie who loves to be in on any kind of action especially the kind that involves attention waltzed over and snatched her baby brother up and began to smother him with kisses evie and her baby brother of course the camera right in hand amy documented that as well kids have the easiest time in the world being candid and impromptu it seems so much more of a struggle for me anyway i hope you enjoy these me and my little guy close up posted in uncategorized first few weeks in the country may 17 2012 by tumbleberrytoys so fun to share my favorites with her it landed on the wall for the day they bring me so much joy he s two now view from the porch we ve been having a great time living out here kind of in the middle of nowhere to me a thirty minute drive to the nearest grocery store constitutes the middle of nowhere not a single house as far as the eye can see is the middle of nowhere our house is teeny and cozy think little house on the prairie and that s the idea we love it the privacy and quiet is very inspiring it really fuels my creativity not as much for the dolls right now but for cooking sewing and knitting projects painting furniture and home schooling i can t remember many times in my life where i haven t had a million ideas brewing and being out here seems to draw it out of me even more maybe i ll write about that more next time meanwhile here are a few pictures i ve taken since moving here talk to you again before too long posted in uncategorized babette s blanket february 20 2012 by tumbleberrytoys i ve wanted to make this blanket for such a long time once i started it i just haven t been able to stop all those teeny colorful squares coming together into a beautiful mosaic crochet can be so fun too for a change from knitting the kids and i have a blast playing around with the squares as i keep making more to be sewn up posted in uncategorized first smiles february 10 2012 by tumbleberrytoys posted in uncategorized proof february 2 2012 by tumbleberrytoys i know you keep hearing me say that i have some cute little tumble friends planned for the shop but not until today have i finally gotten a chance to get started on them thanks to truman s unexpectedly long morning nap i got quite a bit of sewing done while the kids tackled their school work so here are some step by step photos for you proof that i do indeed have at least one doll in the works this yarn by the way is the most gorgeous doll hair i have ever felt or laid eyes on it s soooo pretty so there you have it folks the start of a tumble friend i m pulling out some pretty yarn to knit her some fun stuff and inventing outfit ideas in my head before i send the fabric off to amy to tell her what to sew this slower pace of doll making is going to be the status quo at least for a while and i am really enjoying it it is nice to take my time and let an idea come together at its own pace this doll should be available in a couple of weeks along with a sister or two posted in uncategorized our days february 1 2012 by tumbleberrytoys sleeping babes usually in the sling or in my arms but now and then a little nap on his own little boys starting to play dress up with the big kids he was a pirate and carried a sword matching pj s i absolutely can t wait to see these two little boys playing together in a year or so lots and lots of school and piano practice with three kids taking lessons the piano is being played all day long love it somewhere in the middle of this some doll ideas are dancing around in my head maybe later on today i can get started on them if so i ll share on here tomorrow posted in uncategorized truman january 30 2012 by tumbleberrytoys our little baby boy truman law arrived on december 27 weighing 7 pounds 1 ounce it was a wonderful scary beautiful traumatic painful peaceful home birth don t know if that makes any sense but that is the paradox of motherhood you know we now have three girls and three boys perfect and i am enjoying every moment with another newborn in the house even those fussy hours that happen in the evening when he finally gives a little sigh and settles in to sleep in my arms is the best feeling in the world it s one of those moments i wouldn t trade for anything posted in uncategorized dolls visiting from asia part ii november 3 2011 by tumbleberrytoys well the dolls got more than they bargained for when they made the trip to colorado in november one day of lovely weather for the first batch of pictures and then we got dumped with a whole bunch of snow the next well don t worry with the sun out shining today it was actually quite a bit warmer than it looks though poor sumalee the thai visitor really was quite unprepared for the cold her name means flower i am told and she is dressed just like one her outfit came out so so lovely i think she is wearing a pretty necklace that actually can be shared with her new mama 16 doll we also have some more pictures of gita today gita is a 16 indian girl she comes with a darling barrette as well as a little coin purse on her wrist next up is ali a 16 afghan boy his hat and vest are just amazing so detailed and colorful and finally sonia another doll from india this time a 12 one her name means golden and i absolutely couldn t resist giving her this beautiful hand spun hair with gold colored strands throughout it is one of the prettiest handspun yarns i have ever used i think and certainly causes sonia to live up to her name well there you have it the final dolls in the asian collection they will be on etsy tomorrow friday time to be announced let me also post the prices here too as i am sure you can imagine these dolls all took significantly more work than the ones i normally do as well the materials which hail from all around the world cost quite a bit more than i usually use between the planning pattern drafting dyeing photos and material cost naturally the dolls are priced higher than normal and this is the reason why i am able to make special edition dolls from time to time i m sure you can understand but i thought i would explain it none the less 16 dolls eun fuyuki nuha gita sumalee and ali are 270 12 doll sonia 200 9 keiko 165 posted in uncategorized 8 comments dolls visiting from asia november 2 2011 by tumbleberrytoys this is a new group of dolls that i have been working very hard on and planning for weeks the idea all started with dianah a lady who contacted me through etsy requesting that i make dolls representing different countries in asia she felt that many of those countries have been underrepresented in natural dolls and i was very flattered that she thought of contacting me to see if i would be able or willing to make them considering that i actually have never even traveled outside of the united states i initially felt embarrassingly under qualified to attempt her idea however as i thought of it i became greatly intrigued and wondered if i should see if i could pull it off fortunately and in fact without this i do not think there is any way i would have attempted this dianah was extremely helpful from sending me internet links of different regions in costume to links to fabric shops from all around the world where i could get items accessories fabric and trim for the doll clothing from there it was a matter of doing what is my absolute favorite part of doll making pulling together all sorts of different fabric trims hand dyed and hand spun yarn to attempt to make everything come together into something cohesive and fun and oh i am so glad that i decided to try to make it work let me tell you for a couple of weeks amy and i were sweating it concerned that the outfits wouldn t look right or fit or even be possible to pull off but this last week as all the pieces came together i couldn t stop squealing with delight with each one it seemed that i liked each new doll that came together more than the last and i will tell you the truth i honestly cannot pick a favorite if there was ever an upload where iwished i could keep each and every last doll this one is it my children who watched in fascination as well as adding suggestions and offers of help feel exactly the same way though they begged absolutely begged to keep nuha the arab girl her beautiful scarf i think made her end up being a favorite as for me i m just not going to say since each one speaks to me in a completely different way i have five dolls to show you today since the other three are still being completed still to come 16 afghan boy 16 thai girl 12 indian girl as well as plenty more photos of gita the 16 indian girl i will have details about all eight dolls for you shortly on facebook but you will need to give me just a few days to get them all done and then i promise of course lots and lots more photos oh one more thing i promised dianah who was so sweet to work with me that i would reserve one of the eight dolls for her so of course one of the dolls will not be available for sale i do hope you enjoy the dolls as much as i enjoyed the process of making them an extra special thanks to amy for taking so many of the gorgeous photos as well as to evie bethany and grace for helping model the dolls the wonderful tarah and erica of course who sew doll bodies and heads of hair for me each week and thanks to all of you for pushing me in directions i would never have thought of going causing me to step out of my comfort zone once in a while and to try to new things i would have never done on my own so without further ado here are fuyuki 16 japanese boy keiko 9 japanese girl eun 16 korean girl nuha 16 arab girl nuha and gita 16 arab girl and 16 indian girl and close up of the lovely barrette in gita s hair posted in uncategorized 16 comments jem and scout september 8 2011 by tumbleberrytoys let me introduce you to jem and scout two 16 tumbleberry dolls feeling the change in the air from summer to fall brings to mind one of my favorite books to kill a mockingbird i feel i was fortunate enough to have not read this book as required reading in high school reading the book for the first time instead a few years ago as an adult what a wonderful discovery it was one of those books that i never wanted to end my favorite part about it is the way harper lee slowly subtly develops the characters through the story and by the end of it finding a respect for them and their decisions that at first introduction i had no idea was there in fact my husband and i liked the characters so much we gave jude the middle name atticus to me this book though not a children s book wonderfully illustrates the innocence of childhood which is why i chose to make dolls this week inspired by jem and scout it tells of fall and back to school and playing out in the sun all day and brings to mind nostalgic thoughts of happy playing children this is what i tried to capture when i made jem and scout regardless of whether or not the dolls are exactly accurate according the descriptions in the book this is how i have always pictured them jem has a wool flannel shirt and a pair of overalls he also is wearing a corduroy jacket for the nippy days when fall is in the air i made him a cap since his hair is a bit overgrown beginning to be in need of a haircut naturally i gave him just a handful of freckles leftover from long days in the summer sun he also has a pair of brown shoes but prefers to go barefoot scout has a short mess of curly hair that generally is unkempt when she is off playing with jem in a pair of overalls and checkered shirt her skin is tan from lazy summer days i feel sure that she would always be barefoot as well however i made her a pair of matching lavender mary jane shoes that go with her shirt she also comes with a vintage style orange and cream floral dress and bloomers that surely calpurnia makes her wear on sundays she has a matching orange yoked sweater and her hair is contained with a gray ribbon she couldn t find her shoes so she is wearing a pair of jem s old boots i had so much fun making these two dolls i hope you enjoy them as well posted in uncategorized 5 comments older posts archives may 2012 2 february 2012 4 january 2012 1 november 2011 2 september 2011 1 june 2011 6 may 2011 2 april 2011
