Fabulous and French


New books arrived the other day - or actually 1 book and 2 magazines.

I just had to have some more of the Phildar knitting magazines for kids. I already had this one for babies, but I fell in love with some of the patterns for older children as well.

The book Poupées en chiffon is about making dolls. I have a dream of making a doll for - guess who? - Agnes or Sarah as they are the youngest members of our family, and then sew a whole lot of doll clothes for it too.
The book has so many fine patterns. It's almost looks like real clothes - with many gorgeous details.

I recently ordered a Swedish book about doll making, and it took a lot longer for that book to arrive from Sweden, than the ones from France. However, it turned out to be a bit disappoiting, but lucilky this sweet and extremely talented woman is going to make a book on the subject. I know that it will be a fantastic book when it's done.

The magazines were brilliant and full of things which I would love to knit sometime. But I will save the book for a cozy and quiet moment in the kitchen. I'm sure that the weekend will bring several of those...

Have a wonderful weekend with your loved ones.

    My pleasure, Rachel Le Grand. :))
    It's always fun to see which books are available in other countries. I love the French approach to crafting so much. :)

    Isn't it possible for you to buy books on Amazon.fr ?

    They are all perfect, Katherine. And thank you so much. :)) I have found so many things I love already and that doll book is really fine. I hope I get to make a doll soon. It has been a dream of mine for a long time.

  7. Oh, der er bare SÅ mange fantastiske ting Anne! Trøjer, sjal, små fine bluser og masser af andet godt. Det er dejligt med fedt design i strik til denne aldersgruppe. Det synes jeg ikke man finder meget af herhjemme.

    Og en rigtig dejlig onsdag til dig i morgen. :))
