My name is Elżbieta and I am an accomplished wife, mother and grandmother. Since I can recall, sewing has always been one of my greatest passions. To keep the family warm, I had to, every now and then, redirect myself to knitting, yet the needlework had always remained somewhere in the background. So as soon as I found enough time, it was patchworking, be it hand or machine-sewn duvets or coverlets. Trying to explore yet new areas, I started making toys and mascots, mostly just for the very fun of it or for decoration. They still occupy a great portion of my handiwork, yet some years ago I went a step further and began handcrafting 'quiet books'. They teach children independence in various areas of their young life, develop various skills, and finally, give a vast opportunity to explore and busy the hungry little intellects. A child has to buckle things up, dress, knot, fasten clips and so on, so it is not just the manual skills that are being developed as each task also calls for creativity, sometimes ingenuity even. Needless to say, that has to come at a price. Hand or machine-sewn, each book requires cotton, felt, wool, lace, ribbons, loads of buttons and many other materials there is no real point trying to list at he moment.
Currently I dedicated my passion and attention to dolls. Maybe it is my childhood speaking, maybe it is the influence of my wonderful baby-girl granddaughter, who could tell? So rag dolls it now! Either for small and for older girls, dolls to toy with, dolls to gift, dolls for the very beauty of them. Dolls with felt hair or braided acrylic hair, dolls wearing cotton dresses, sweaters and knitted hats and caps. Those elegant ones are for older girls, sometimes even for grown-ups. These have painted faces and long hair. Sometimes with a timid air about them, sometimes exuberantly dressed. Lady-like dolls are definitely a decorative item for everyone who wishes to have a handmade piece of art around them. Most assuredly I am happy to craft a doll following your design or instructions, yet I feel such work will never surpass a work resulting from a moment of inspiration. In the end, we are talking handicraft, so each work is unique, as you can clearly see in the pictures. Feel free to inquire, place an order and it will give me the utmost pleasure to see you return to my store.

Honestly from the heart. My name is Elizabeth, I'm a wife, mother and grandmother, for as long as I can remember I've been sewing. For the needs of my family, I switched to wires. I suspended sewing for a while due to lack of time. After a long time, when time allowed me to do it, I played with patchwork. From small pieces I created large bedspreads sewn by hand and machine. I was constantly looking for something new and started sewing mascots for fun and decoration. Mascots are still in my life but I went further and for several years I have been sewing Quiet Books, which teach young children independence in the activities of everyday life and above all are great fun. A silent booklet teaches, develops, but above all occupies the child for long moments. The child laces, pins, snaps, dresses, arranges, etc. There is no denying that this is an expensive gift but also laborious requiring ingenuity, creativity as well as some manual skills. A lot of work on cutting, laying, fitting and stitching various elements. Books are sewn by machine but also by hand. I use cotton, cotton with an admixture, felt, yarn, beads, lace, ribbons, laces, a lot of buttons and many other details,
it is impossible to list them all.
At the moment I am in love with dolls, maybe it's a lack of childhood or maybe that I became the grandmother of a wonderful grandchild, I really do not know. She sews rag dolls for small and large girls, dolls for play, for a gift and for decoration. Dolls with felt hair or with hair woven from acrylic, dressed in cotton dresses, sweaters and knitting hats. Elegant dolls are dolls for bigger girls and quite large ones, with painted faces and long hair. Dressed sometimes modestly and sometimes elegantly. Lady dolls are decorative dolls for people who love to surround themselves with beautiful handicrafts. Of course, it also does work to order, but never will work to order be one hundred percent the same as the original one. After all, it is a handicraft and each work is different, which can be seen from the exhibited works. I try my best to meet all orders. I invite you to myself, I will be pleased if you look at me.

Szczerze od serca. Mam na imię Elżbieta, jestem żoną, mamą i babcią, od kiedy pamiętam rwałam się do szycia. Na potrzeby rodziny przerzuciłam się na druty. Na chwilę zawiesiłam szycie z powodu braku czasu. Po długim czasie kiedy już czas mi na to pozwolił bawiłam się patchworkami. Z małych kawałeczków tworzyłam duże narzuty szyte ręcznie i maszynowo. Ciągle szukałam czegoś nowego i zaczęłam szyć maskotki te do zabawy i dekoracji. Maskotki dalej są w moim życiu ale poszłam dalej i od kilku lat szyje ciche książeczki (Quiet Book), które uczą małe dzieci samodzielności w czynnościach życia codziennego a przede wszystkim są wspaniałą zabawą. Cicha książeczka uczy, rozwija, ale przede wszystkim zajmuje dziecko na długie chwile. Dziecko sznuruje, przypina, zatrzaskuje, ubiera, układa itp. Nie da się ukryć, że to drogi prezent ale również pracochłonny wymagający pomysłowości, kreatywności jak również trochę zdolności manualnych. Wiele pracy przy wycinaniu, układaniu, pasowaniu i zszywaniu różnych elementów. Książeczki zszywane są maszynowo ale i ręcznie. Używam do jej wykonania bawełny, bawełny z domieszką, filcu, włóczki, koralików, koronek, wstążek, sznurowadeł, dużej ilości guzików i wielu innych detali,
nie sposób wymienić wszystkie.
W chwili obecnej zakochana jestem w laleczkach, może to niedosyt z dzieciństwa a może że zostałam babcią cudownej wnusi, naprawdę nie wiem. Szyje szmaciane lale dla małych i dużych dziewczynek, lale do zabawy, na prezent i do dekoracji. Lalki z filcowymi włosami albo z włosami plecionymi z akrylu, ubrane w bawełniane sukienki, sweterki i czapki na drutach. Lalki elegantki to lale dla większych dziewczynek i tych całkiem dużych, z malowanymi twarzami i w długich włosach. Ubrane czasem skromnie a niekiedy wytwornie. Lalki damy to lalki dekoracyjne dla osób, które uwielbiają otaczać się pięknym rękodziełem .Oczywiście wykonuje też prace na zamówienie ale nigdy praca na zamówienie nie będzie w stu procentach taka sama jak ta pierwotna. W końcu jest to rękodzieło i każda praca jest inna co widać po wystawionych pracach. Staram się jak mogę żeby sprostać wszystkim zamówieniom. Zapraszam do siebie, będzie mi miło jak będziecie do mnie zaglądać.
