If you make dolls for children
And follow all those wise books
About what to teach and how to raise them
About what is useful and what rather dangerous
Do never forget
The delightful sense of humour
Children have
Yesterday I finished a baby doll
With everything a baby needs
Warm clothes, a soft hat
...
A little spoon for carrot puree
Baby cream for little bums
...
And nappies, of course nappies
I also added love, much love
And humour, humour as well
Because children have a great sense of that
(If you take a close look on the photo above, you will see what I mean)
The littlesmellysomething in the nappy is a few pieces of wool felt. If you have never seen a child changing a cloth doll baby and discovering a surprise like this in the nappies, you truly missed a great laugh. I don´t mind what adults say about such a detail - but kids just love that sort of humour
(and their delightful sense humour is what I always try to keep in mind ;-)
Have a joyful day!

P.S. For the bag, filled with extra nappies, baby cream and other small things a baby needs, I used beautiful cotton tape made by Anna Barrow/ Lilla Lotta.
I love her work and can hardly resist whenever I see a new of her creations.
