Nut the Squirrel makes its debut at Humptydump

Once upon a time, there lived a tiny squirrel. He was smaller than other fellow squirrels, standing stoutly at a height of 10 cm. However our dear little friend has lofty ambitions. He wants to climb the highest mountains and scale the tallest trees. He has the courage of a lion and is never afraid to try anything at least once. We love him dearly, and he is available for pre-order. Made from recycled mohair gloves.

Kyla - our latest

We are making and making! Kyla is our latest. She is a timid fellow and warms up to you after a bit. Thank you to all our lovely friends who voted to select Kyla's look. You're the best and thank you!

Our dolls are out on the shelves!

Introducing our new arrivals, exclusively available at Doinkydoodles! Go grab Wishful and his friends now!

'Hi, I am Wishful'. I love to day dream and am made from recycled work gloves and am super huggable. Just look out for the star on my chest though.'

'Look at me. Don't I melt your heart?'

'I am vain and I love to dress up in anything with checks.'

' I love smelling fresh flowers and I am a true blue metrosexual.'

'Hi there!'

'Hi, my other name is Pompous'

'Hi I am Snow. I am a little off-white.'

'Everyone calls me a clown. I bring joy to others.'

A random experiment

Humptydump was fiddling with bits of left-over garden glove scraps and fashioned this tiny pocket bunny brooch. A bit dumpy, a bit funny and quite eccentric, is what we made of Flattie.

Born at Christmas

These two fellows were made for a special friend to be gifted to another friend at Christmas. Especially cheery, Fluke and Tappy must be enjoying themselves in the homes of their new owners. These guys wear their hearts on their sleeves.

Fluke loves his ribbons

Tappy getting to know his new found friend, who doesn't seem too interested.

Pandy loves her new friend

Pandy was made as a farewell gift for a good friend of ours. She may look nonchalant but this little lady has a warm heart. Obviously so, as she found a friend in Ginger almost immediately. Check out their first photo together.

Sold - A fellow who knows his cars well

Introducing Mike, a jolly fellow who loves his cars. He is rather well versed in Matchbox and Hotwheels. And he has a cheery smile to beat.

Eley - born out of 2 fluffy socks

Eley was meant to be a companion but sadly, it never made it.

Number of stitches: 219
Time it took: 6 hours
Medium: 1 pair of socks, black thread, white thread

He is the guy who thinks the world of himself

Don't think he has ever flown anything let alone fly a paper aeroplane. But Howard's ego is huge like a hot air balloon, literally. He wears his pilot attire proudly, and goes around telling everyone tales of his travels, albeit from his fantasies.

And Dumpy makes it through again

Humptydump had a roller coaster week, what with granny's hospitalization and moving into a new place all at once. But there is always therapy in the form of our glove dolls. Introducing Dumpy. He slouches too much, is imperfect but he doesn't care a hoot. He lives life the way he wants it.

Usually we do not do this...

humptydump made this especially for a lovely couple.

Humptydump goes to the LASALLE Arts Market!

We love each and every of our hand-made dolls, so much that we can't bear to part with them every time we complete one. Thank you to everyone who has adopted one/two/a few of our babies. The last we asked, all of them have found lovely owners, and that's great to hear.

And so finally.... humptydump's glove bunnies were found at....
