DIY Doll Dress

3 years ago I started a small busiess, Little Kin Studio,  designing and selling handmade waldorf inspired dolls, all ethically produced by artisan women in South America.

Today we have sold thousands of dolls and our Little Kin Studio  girls, boys and animals live all over the world. And there’s nothing we love more, than knowing how children play and have fun with what we make.

To make things even more fun, we have designed an easy DIY Little Kin doll dress for you, to make with your little ones. It will fit all your Little Kin Studio dolls and bunnies and probably also a few of your other teddies.

Life

I’m not sure where to even start. So many profound changes have happened to all of us, to the whole world, since the last time I tried to put thoughts into words written on this page. After months of isolation in a small apartment in New York City, which at that time was one of the epicenters of Covid 19, we tried to make a responsible decision and move my three daughters, me and our dog back to Denmark. 10 months after, and we’re still here. Doing our best to build a new life in the midst of our old pre-New York surroundings, while trying to decide if we should stay here or go back Brooklyn once things get better.

8 months later

It’s been eight months since last time I wrote a single word here. 8 months of quietness, 8 months of doing other things.

It’s not that I haven’t had an urge to write. I love this little space of mine, the intimacy between you readers and my thoughts. The little messages I sometimes receive. Writing down my thoughts and ideas to clear my head.

What we do, read, wear, play and listen to right now

The last few days I’ve felt it. The energy that comes from the arrival of spring, the sudden sun in your cheeks and lots of fresh air in your lungs. The urge to go from hibernation to constantly being outdoors. Luckily my daughters feel the same way. So we pack our bags with snacks and water and take out the scooters and the stroller and spend as much time as possible roaming around our neighborhood. This weekend we payed the first visit of the year to one of our local favorites, Janes Carousel in Dumbo. The rides are cheap and a few rounds on a wooden horse never fails to amuse. Even my little 1-year-old Evy joined her sisters for the first time.

What we wear, watch, play, eat, dream about and listen to right now

 

After 10 days of vacation and an extra day off because of a huge snow fall in New York, we’re finally getting back to our everyday routines. Though I love spending time with all of my three daughters at the same time, I also enjoy getting back to normal with a bit more time to write and work. That being said, sitting down in front of a computer with an almost one year old seem like a bit of a struggle. But we find our own ways and she loves to make a mess around the apartment and empty out every closet we have while I try just to write a single sentence or two at the time.

What we eat, read, wear, dream about and listen to right now

Last night, walking home from my eldest daughter’s ballet class, we felt the hurricane Jose passing by 250 miles away. The air was still hot and humid and while light rain fell on our bare arms, the wild wind blew golden leaves all around us. Fall has arrived to New York, and though it’s still too warm to wear wooly jumpers, I can’t wait for my favorite season to slowly unfold in front of me.
