Now I know what to wish for at birthdays and Christmas from my mother. :gimme:

She gave me this big smurf she did yesterday for me. I promissed her to add it here because for her it is great, that it is possible to see it on internet. Then she can tell her friends were to look. :D

I took the picture together with some other so you can see the size of it.
She also did to smaller ones. One normal and one papa smurf.

Hi all,

I am at her house at the moment and she says thank you very much for the nice comments. :thanks2:

She will make a bigger Smurfette later. The small ones are more difficult to make details on and get the right porportions. It is easier with the bigger ones but then you have to use more wool. You can fill them with "foam rubber" inside but that is not good because it "crushes" more and more the older it gets. My mom wants to make it of pure wool. But inside she uses grey (natural not coloured) wool.

She tells me she would like 10 euro for a big "one-of-a-kind" one. Everyone is different. Can´t do them exactly the same. :-?

This one is about 35 cm high.

The trolls she usually takes 8 euro for and during Christmas everybody wants these.They are perfect as Christmasgifts. :D

Hello,
These smurfs are so cute!!!
I'd like to have 3 of them (Papa, Smurf and Smurfette if possible).
But I'd love to have the 3 smallest if you can.
Could you MP for the total amount please.
Your mum is fabulous!
Thank you so much. :D

I think your mother won't be making drolls anytime soon. :) :) :)

I'd love to buy a normal one..but I am in no rush either :D

If more from the US are interested we might be able to combine shipping and save some money :-?

Thanks all of you,

I will tell my mother and see what she can do. I think the best thing is that I send a picture of them to you when she has done the ones you want. And then you can tell if you like them or not. I don´t know how many she can do because she is doing a lot of easterthings now. I will ask her.

Regarding the shippingcost I can tell you that the weight of these are not much because of the material but they are still harder then I assumed. But in these she don´t have any wire so you can´t change position of the legs and arms. They are somewhere between plushes and dolls I guess. If you are in no hurry I can send a picture when she has more.
