the shop was updated earlier. a few things had already gone before i could post any pictures here (thank you!). the stripey pink and white Lumi above is still available.

I am giving a rest to the pinky tones now to work on a little series of blue and yellow.

well, I have had too much on my plate this week and the shop update will have to be postponed to next week. hopefully next Tuesday. have a nice weekend everyone x

I have been working on a few (only a very small quantity..) Lucius and Lumi dolls that will hopefully make it to the shop this Friday. Inspired this time by the Autumn Winter 09 women's collection by Dries Van Noten.

and Mieke Willems online shop is making a lot of us very happy!

so this was a hard one. you've given me so many good names, it took me a while to make a decision. Jenny D. emailed me and simply suggested the name Lucius, and Lucius he will be!

I know it starts with an 'L', I don't know what is wrong with me, it is like an addiction ( both my boys' names also start with L)..

Ivar, Emir and Soseki were very close, so please Anoushka and Anais, send me your address and i will send you a little something.

thank you so much for playing along, I enjoyed reading your suggestions and stories, and I am also very happy you like our new friend.

after a few trials i finally came up with a likeable Mr fox. Now he needs a name.

can you please help me find a name that you think would suit him (it can be in English, French, Finnish, Welsh.. etc, we are open to any ideas), if it has a meaning or a little story behind it, even better. and it doesn't have to start with an 'L'.

i will pick my favourite name next Monday and will send the winner mr fox pictured in the middle. the latter is not the final model, but he is still a nice little chap!

edit: thank you all for your great suggestions! i will choose a name later on tonight (Monday) so you've got until 8pm British time to leave a comment. and yes i will ship anywhere.

I am back from my very short stay in Paris, the exhibition at Beau travail was lovely and it was great to meet the girls who organized it, have a little peep here.

I spent some time with my family, had the pleasure to see Else again, had a great chat with Barbara who managed to make me pose for the camera (oh dear) and was delighted to finally meet Séverine, Sissi and Marion. A very nice evening.

by the way, the cards of Lewis and Lumi i made for the exhibition will be in the shop at the end of the week. Enjoy the rest of your weekend x

this week has been pretty miserable and full of sickness. I am recovering just in time to go to the Beau travail's exhibition preview tomorrow evening. Hope to see a few of you there!
