Some more Christmas and New Year Handmade Toys...

By publishing this post I want to finish my Christmas and New Year series.

1. Handmade Christmas Trees
I sewed three such Christmas trees. My daughters took two of them to the Christmas exhibition at their kindergarten. The third one was sold at the Mlyn Christmas craft fair.

2. Gingerbread Men - Handmade Toys
These are tinted handmade toys with the flavour of coffee and cinnamon. The icing on them was made by acrylic paints. Some of these funny guys have buttons made from cinnamon sticks.

Dragons for the New 2012 Year (Handmade Dragon Toys)

While preparing to the Mlyn Christmas Craft Fair and in continuation of the dragon theme started with the Handmade Dragon Scamp I sewed these nice dragon toys:

The first dragon team was sewed from fleece...

Handmade Scarecrow Doll (Tilda Doll)

While preparing to the Mlyn Handmade Christmas Fair that took place in December, 2011 in Minsk, Belarus, I sewed these two handmade Scarecrow Tilda dolls. I planned they would be used as decorations for flowerpots with big plants like palms, ficuses etc.

Although I hadn't articulated this thought they were bought exactly for this purpose - a lady bought these two funny guys as gifts for her two friends whose hobbies are to grow pot plants (house plants).

P.S. I made myself the stands for these scarecrows, this is my debut. I bought a board by myself, sawed it by myself, burnished it by myself and asked my husband to drill holes for their feet by myself :)

"Everyone can dance the classics" (Handmade Doll - Santa - Ballet Dancer)

"Everyone can dance the classics", this is what one teacher in a ballet school likes to say.

A very good friend of her asked me to sew a doll for the her. She wanted an original and exclusive handmade doll that should be associated with Christmas, New Year and ballet simultaneously. And it certainly should incarnate the phrase mentioned above ("everyone can dance the classics").

That's how this nice stout Santa in a tutu and pointes was born:
