Camping, Sylvanian style

 So it’s a long weekend/public holiday here, and while many people take this opportunity (&the fine weather) to go camping, we are staying cozy at home. 

But the youngest child kept saying they are bored, so I figured why not get out some SF items we haven’t used in a long time. Cue the Treehouse, playground set, picnic table & roof rack sets. All together they make quite a cool campground.

Ellie the Viking Sheep

 


Recently my hobbies have been focused on things a bit bigger than the Sylvanians, but don’t worry I still love my tiny furry friends! 

In 2019 I joined a historical re-enactment group that studies life in the Early Medieval or “Viking Age”  

So between May 2019 & now most of my crafty time has been making things to do with historical studies (or sometime just things I use everyday)

Right before a festival at the beginning of this month I felt inspired to create a miniature version of one of my historical outfits. 

What better way to do this than to dress a Sylvanian as a Viking woman! So without further ado I present… 

Ellie, the Viking Sheep…



Now I think she needs some textiles making tools, like a spindle & a loom so that she can spin & weave with her wool!! 

Who knows, maybe I’ll make her a box scene… now that’s an idea!  ðŸ’¡

2021 Adelaide Plangon doll show


 Yay, in South Australia some of our events are happening again! My daughter & I were able to go to one of the local doll shows that we’ve been to before. 

They were very good with social distancing & check ins, so we felt quite safe going. 

Here are some of the pictures from this years show. 




Adventurous Miss Lily & her sweetheart Capt Alexander 







































Wow, you all are awesome!

 I was just randomly checking in on my blogs & I noticed the stats here...



It absolutely blows my mind that this blog has been viewed 15,000 times! That is amazing 😻 you all are amazing.

Sylvanian Families 35 anniversary

 Wow what a year it has been! 2020 has thrown so many things that no one could have predicted! 


But a small positive this tear has been the Sylvanian Families 35th anniversary. They couldn’t do the big events they had hoped, but they still pushed ahead with not 1, but 3 special families limited releases plus a couple of other special sets. 


This week I managed to get my hands on the Marguerite rabbit family! 





I’m quite in love with them. They are such a unique colour & while looking similar to other releases they are just a bit different! 






I definitely had a little bit of fun taking these pics.

Lilly out & about


Recently I went walking in a local pine forest. 


Lily was over joyed! It’s been quite a while since she has had an adventure, & she misses it. 



So many enchanted places in the forest!



Until next time, we wish you all a safe, peaceful, prosperous 2020!

Still here

Just leaving a quick note to say that I am still here. Currently my hobbies are less about collecting Sylvanians & more about knitting/spinning/crocheting. You can find me on Instagram as @chrispe82
I do still enjoy my Sylvanian Families collection, & I intend to add a few more families to my village, including the Maple cats, new Persian cats & Alpaca families.

Wishing you all well.
