being patient….not my strongest point!

This is Blossom. Isn’t she sooo beautiful?
I can’t begin to tell you how much The Little Bush Princess smiled when she saw this little lady. Neither can I convey how much she begged me to make her ours….I tried…but it didn’t happen. How we wish it did!
I have coveted the work of Christina and her wonderful helpers for a long time now. I’ve also been trying to secure one of her gorgeous creations for….a long time now. Turns out this task is not as not as easy as I first thought it would be. Her work is so popular.
The last upload Bamboletta had earlier on in the week saw the shop loaded and cleared within seconds. No word of a lie. Seconds!
I found myself looking under the computer wondering if the dolls had fallen out. There could be no other reason!
So…while I wait (hopefully not for too long, cross your fingers for me) to try and secure a Bambo of our own I will have to satisfy myself by dressing up my own favourite little dolly in a kimono wrap and jeans. I have no pattern for felt shoes!
What do you think?
It’s one of my first attempts at making my own clothing patterns for her to wear.
I think it worked out well. Very Bamboletta!
More to the point it went a long way towards keeping ‘dance hair’ tidy when we were at ballet on the weekend. The wrap meant nothing had to go over her head and fluffy up her hair.
I’ll keep on dreaming!
Well the LBP looks so very sweet. In fact just like a little doll. Great job Jenny on that pattern. It is just lovely.

I just found your blog doing a search for Bamboletta doll clothes. Good luck getting a Bamboletta! I custom ordered ours last summer, and I am so glad I did since they’re nearly impossible to get now. I wish I’d thought of pink hair; its awesome! Mine’s (or should I say my daughter’s) is a redhead. I still check the site every week to see what lovelies Christina’s dreamed up. I’d sooo love a second one, but I’d rather someone else get a first instead. Our Annabelle is just the sweetest doll. I’ll keep my fingers crossed that The Little Bush Princess gets one of her own very soon!
