Fairy Fibre Store Visit - The Fibre Studio at Yarns to Dye For

On our last Fairy outing, our little mischievous Fairies sat on the nose of Mr. Mellow Mushroom himself.  They also explored under some large mushrooms in the restaurant.  Our Fairies didn't want any pizza that day which was fine with us. Savta, the Fairy Maker, gave them a good talking to and told them during our next visit they would have to be better behaved.

We needed some more yarn to make more Fairies so we visited The Fibre Studio at Yarns to Dye For located in South Park.  (4724 Sharon Rd., Suite K  Charlotte, NC 28210)

In no time our Fairies made themselves at home in this elegant store.  They offered the Fairy Maker lots of ideas on different colors and kinds of yarn that Fairies like.

The store's owner, Debbie Davis, was kind enough to allow them to stay for awhile.  She asked our  Fairies to make little girls and boys smile when they visit her store.

So if you go and visit Debbie's nice store, you can see two of our Fairies sitting there happy as can be.

In speaking with the Fairy Maker, Savta, she had some other Fairy Travel ideas.  She mentioned something about teaching our Fairies to swim.  I wonder if Fairies know how to swim? We will have to see and let you know. 

In the meantime, please visit our little winged friends @ Debbie's shop.  They get lonely and really like to see girls and boys of all ages.

GRIMm Fairy visits Mellow Mushroom

A little known fact is that Fairies and Fairy Makers get hungry. When they do, sometimes they want pizza but not just any pizza, they seem to like Mellow Mushroom Pizza. 

Fairies are a bit mischievous and flit around to funny places unless the Fairy Maker talks gently to them and asks them to be polite and considerate of others.  As you can see above, our little Fairy was very excited to be at Mellow Mushroom but decided to sit right on Mr. Mushroom's nose. We apologized to him and took her to our table.  We lost track of our Fairy for a moment but found her among some mushrooms near our table.  It seems Fairies really like mushrooms.  If they are outside on rainy days they can hide under a mushroom to keep dry.

All of this flitting around made our Fairy tired so she decided to take a little nap on the Fairy Maker's shoulder before her meal.

We encouraged her to eat but Fairies only eat the tiniest of morsels so in no time she was full.  So we thanked our kind waitress and headed back home.  The next time you visit Mellow Mushroom, you might check the mushrooms for Fairies or you can ask your waitress if she has seen any Fairies as of late.

I wonder where our Fairy will visit next?

The fairies have arrived

Savta was quietly knitting on her favorite couch when she noticed she had company.  A quick glance to her right and she noticed 2 fairies and a gnome.  She quietly moved  out of the way so I could  take this picture with my blackberry.  We hope to take better pictures with better cameras but, understandably, fairies are quite flighty.

Leviah's 16" jointed doll

I recently completed this doll for my youngest granddaughter Leviah. 

What made this doll different is that I inserted buttons into the joints to actually make the arms and legs movable. 

As you can see the new doll was a big hit with Leviah. Over Leviah's shoulder is a Chubbles doll whose eyes light up and issues a chubble sound when the lights are turned out.  This Chubble actually belonged to my son when he was younger (Leviah and Naomi's daddy). 

Looks like love to me....  Also in the background of my doll manufacturing facility (aka - bedroom  office) is Lebo, the first doll that I made for my oldest grandaughter, Naomi and one of her favorites.
If you have a little girl that wants her own doll, you can email me @ SavatasCreations@gmail.com

I create dolls one at a time and need to know something about the little girl receiving the doll.  When I am making the doll I think about the little girl receiving the doll and that helps me to customize the doll just for her.

Each doll is handmade with only natural and organic materials. 

LOL, Savta

On being a Savta

I am a Savta to two adorable granddaughters. What is a Savta ?- it is another name for "Grandma" in Hebrew. My husband and I were standing in the Old City of Jerusalem, Israel, when our son called to tell us we were grandparents for the first time. There is always the problem, and a wonderful problem to have, of what to have your grandchild call you ..... So I asked a friend of ours, who was born and raised in TelAviv, Israel, what she called her grandparents. She informed us that in Hebrew grandma and grandpa are Savta and Sabba - so here I am - a Savta now of two granddaughters.

Why Savta's Creations for a name? Well I love to sew, knit, etc. and as soon as I had a granddaughter I wanted to create things for her and since I also love dolls they were just a natural to start making for her. I have been told at work that I am "Crunchy" (I guess because I get up early before work to exercise and I bring "Green" drink for my breakfast and usually don't give in to the office donuts). So the dolls and toys that I make are always handmade with natural materials - no plastics! I was introduced to Waldorf style dolls by my daughter-in-law and fell in love with them (more about Waldorf dolls in another blog). Since the first doll that I made for Naomi, my first granddaughter, I have been contacted by other people to make dolls for them. I make each doll with the individual in mind as I am forming it. Each doll has its own character. So.... I had to come up with a name to call my small craft business and since I love being a Savta so much - da da the name is "Savta's Creations".
