- This week we have a two in one film. The first half is us making two new dump dolls from pieces we have found. Rather like three dimensional puzzles and the second half is us mudlarking a stream we discovered while taking pretty pictures of the dump dolls. Come and watch our two for one craft and mudlarking film in the wonderful Spring sunshine :)

#CRAFTING #MUDLARKING
I love that you two do your crafts together. Its a wonderful blessing to have time together with your Mother, sharing in the joy of creating something!
My Mum used to rescue sad dolls from the used stores and give the remade ones to children in the hospital. I miss her so. Enjoy yours as long as you can Alex. She is a gem.
Love you ladies! Thanks so much for all the wonderful videos. Your doll making reminded me of something from my childhood that I have not thought of in years and years. My mother sewed everything when I was growing up. And she made doll clothes. One time when I was about 5 or 6 she invited the little girls in the neighborhood to come over and bring a doll and she made dresses for them. Thanks for reminding me. She also made Barbie clothes when I was a bit older and they were masterpieces of tiny stitches with all the trimmings. I also had an aunt who did knitting, Fleur. She sent me a whole bunch of little knitted Barbie doll clothes. They are all long gone, the clothes and my Mom and my Aunt, but I can still see the knitted hot pink sweater and skirt set that Barbie loved and the pink satin ball gown, strapless with a full petticoat trimmed in lace that Mom made for her. Good memories. Happy Spring!
Your dolls reminded me of when l was a little girl. I left my new Christmas doll on the stairs and our dog chewed on her face. Quite a few tears later my sisters decided she needed a very large plaster and my doll was always the hospital patient. In those days parents didn't buy you another doll. It was a lesson to take care of your things. A lesson l never forgot. 😳😊
Thanks Melissa. ❣️

An easier way to give the dolls hair is to fill the head with cotton, then take a knee high nude stocking, cut the toe off, and glue it over the top of the head. This will allow you to sew the hair directly onto the stocking.
How delightful!!! Kind of like how God gently puts us back together when we break apart. This is lovely!
Talk about a rescue, if these doll could move, they'd be doing the happy dance!!! How precious they are, wish we could do that with all the poor little waifs in this world. Very well done girls, I really enjoyed watching garbage be turned into things of beauty!! Thank you for this!!
I absolutely love how you have given life to those sad broken dolls. I like to rescue old dolls and teddies.
You put so much care and love into your dolls. I loved the extra touch of the embroidery-very special.
It may sound strange,but as an old git,I still found your creating fascinating, you pair fill my heart with joy. And the dolls turned out lovely,after much hard work. You really are precious
Thank Yous ever so much Ladies🌞❤️ you touch my heart with every video, Your Dolls are works of Art.🙋
I'm so in love with this! I often rescue old dolls just where ever i find them. I clean them up fix their hair give them a new face and if there clothing can be saved i do it i make them a new outfit. I love what y'all do with dolls. The little ones are too tiny for my old eyes now. I give mine away most of the time. My kids say my dolls are creepy. I just love them! Great job ladies!
Sunny is such an excellent helper. Adorable. I just love the two of you together. Thank you.☮️🇨🇦 Your films are never too long❤️
The dolls are fabulous! What wonderful transformations! You two are so talented. As a developmental pediatric nurse, I kept thinking what amazing dolls for little girls with scars from facial burns, traumatic injury, or facial anomalies. They are beautiful!
I like the way you think
Quite creative with making your patch babies, never know what you get until you try. I like what ever you do, it's always entertaining. The piano music was so soothing, and fitting for the video, you ladies never fail me.
I could watch you both all day. I love all your treasures.
The redheaded doll reminds me of Merida from the movie Brave 😊
Badgers!! 🦡 😂 such a sweet video! I love the gorgeous dolls and the fun surprise mudlark on such a pretty day!
You two are absolute treasures. Your passion is infectious. Thank you for sharing your lives and your craft with us.
Isn't it wonderful to see the flowers and the green grass and leaves again? Even if we can't go and do a lot of things just seeing the sunshine, hearing the birds and seeing the earth wake back up make us feel better. Stay safe. ❤
Totally agree
Oh the dolls turned out beautiful. Great that you found another place to look for things. Take care 😊
Oh Kate, Little Bird has your very own glorious, gorgeous, wonderful hair!! She & Apple are both such Victorian Beauties. You ladies never cease to delight & amaze us. And on a side note, the music you choose to accompany your video is always spot-on. Happy Spring to ALL of you - hopefully you'll be back at your favourite beach soon. XO
Totally agree
Wow! Just wow! I don’t know how the two of you can create such beautiful things out of nothing! Amazing!
I bet the rabbits/ badgers have a whole tea set in their home 😂
Sunday isn't Sunday without watching your videos. Sitting with a cuppa loving the English countryside. The dolls have been reborn! Be safe.
The dolls are lovely. Their outfits are beautiful and have a sweet personal touch to them. Great job! 👍💞
I'm guessing that it's appropriate that Little Bird is pigeon-toed, I do like these.
In your channels, it always touches me how you repurpose things, how you value those lost and forgotten pieces and treasure them, which once were loved and treasured. It is such a beautiful thing to do. Yet, those dolls turned out so beautiful and special and it is wonderful and very special what you two are doing. Just balm for the soul to watch!
You can tell that SO much love went into the repair & renewal of these beauties! Well done, ladies.
Wonderful not to expect to like the doll making.I DID LOL .
Always very soothing to watch and I thoroughly enjoyed watching you both, (and little Sunny) bring these little girls back to life!
Thankyou for a lovely relaxing video. Your new additions to your dump dollie crew are wonderful... ❤️👍
I love your dump dolls! You two are so creative. Every time I see you remaking the dolls, it takes me back to the days when I used to make the reproductions of the antique dolls. Thank you for sharing your amazing talents!
Fleur, you’re right, you really can find things everywhere !! I wish it was that way here in North Carolina where I live.
I want to thank you both for this amazing video. You ladies are very talented and I was rapt with attention while you repaired and made your Dump Dolls. 👧 Their clothing is gorgeous. 💕
Thank you for taking us along with you today.
All the best always !! 🥰🌼
PS~ I think you’ve found a new dump!! 🙏🏼
Love that you turned broken bits into well dressed lovely dolls!
Think they enjoyed the trip out... but not the tree climbing. 💚
I love the dolls! The details you have added are so precious. Just beautiful 💕
I am under my husbands name my name is Diane, I just wanted to tell you how much I love watching your Mudlarking videos. I find them very relaxing. Thank you for putting yourself out their.
You two are nothing short of amazing those dolls are fantastic! My mum and I was like you both, we still have a great relationship but at 78 with copd she is not so agile and I was too involved in studying for nursing back in the day but at fifty plus and partially retired now I love crafting for my dolls house (only had it 20 years lol) I thankfully learned loads from mum and I really appreciate all she taught me . Continue to enjoy your time together xx
The dolls are adorable. How wonderful you have given them a new life.
Oh my goodness ladies, those dolls are amazing. They remind me of the American Girl line of dolls we have in the US. I would never have thought those broken doll parts could look anywhere near that good, and the embroidered clothes are brilliant! Well done - and a lovely accidental mudlark too. The stream was very soothing and pretty.
Dear Kate and Fleur,
O.m.g. how sweet is that.
I love the dolls you give them a new life.
Your are my "Puppendoktor".
Thank you for the crafting Video.
Lg Jette
Amazing. Enjoy watching after church and Sunday dinner
You ladies are wonderful and your films are beautiful and entertaining...how could anyone NOT like them?
How sweet.Apple and Robin.
That looks like spring water.
Those both turned out so well . All ready to be loved again after so many years forgotten .
My favorite Sunday thing to do, watch you all craft. So nice..🥰
This is so lovely how you have brought them back and given them a new life. Wonderful! :)
I love relaxing on Sundays with all my favorite mudlarkers. 😍
Both of your dolls are adorable, and so are both of you. I really applaud the artistry and attention to detail that you put into your videos. From the music to Sunny Cat's paw. Really nice touch, Kate, wearing brown checks. The knit sweater was so dear as well. You are both Living dolls!
Totally agree
What a lovely video. Finally spring and a surprise lark!
Oh! The crafting is my favorite! And your sweet dump dollies turned out so cute!
Way past my bedtime, but I can’t quit watching you girls bring these two sweet babies back to life. Lovely.❤️
How sweet! Thank you for rescuing them. :)
Love the embroidery on the clothes. Oddly enough while I am American I adore English robins. You are so much fun to watch.
Your dolls are beautiful. Without patterns and creating new faces...well done. 💖
I adore your dump dolls, you both did a great job. I love your accidental mudlarking stream, I hope you visit again. Good, you plan to.
There is a book of patterns that would be perfect for you. It’s called ‘Tiny Wardrobe’ and you can buy it at Amazon
We looked it up ,it is beautiful! :)
@@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers I wish I had time to make a tiny wardrobe for your dump dolls.
@@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers there are so many free printable ones online too. For clothes and doll bodies.
Beautifully done ☺. Bringing life back to the dolls is a wonderful thing. Aww a peek a boo baby lol. Nice job on the knitting and sewing of the dolls clothes, the embroidery work is great. They're beautiful 💖
Little bird reminds me of Merida from the film brave with her wild red hair and Apple is so cute with her mildly surprised expression. Well done ladies both dolls are awesome ❤️
The dolls are beautifull you are so talented and im sure you had a lot of fun doing them.what a pretty place that was you took us too hope when you go back you will find plenty of exciting things.
The way you give these dump dolls a new life is quite magical ❤
Those dolls are so beautiful and they look so happy to be rescued. Love them. Well done.
I love to watch your imaginations at work when you make your "Dump Dolls". I checked the only dumpster I go to on a sort of regular basis, and found 3 rather large bottle stoppers, clear glass all, but all with big chips. I brought them home anyway, a large pile of Christmas card fronts for crafting, a medium size roll of pale blue stuff to make spaghetti straps on lingerie, some embroidery floss, and colored pipe cleaners, one wooden handmade toy, a man who does acrobatics when you squeeze the two sticks together and clean packing material, outside the dumpster. Watching your video made a very nice afternoon finale.
Very nice ladies, ladies that sunshine also looked wonderful what a beautiful area to live!
Your Dump baby's came out so beautiful! I am so very sorry about your beloved dump. I cried with you when I saw the first video. I know how many wonderful things you all rescued from there. Stay safe with many blessings. Sandy
LOVE your babies! You girls are so creative! I really enjoy your channel!!♥️♥️
Hola , bendiciones me imagino las muñecas bailando 💃 de felicidad por tener una segunda vida gracias 🙏 por su trabajo , son únicas
If you go down to the woods today, you're sure of a big surprise. Take your tools down there girls, there's larking in them there hills. Lovely dolls brought back to life, slightly creepy sitting in the woods with all that hair but really charming, such hard work, well done. Looking forward to the next installment, congratulations on the 9K and the new patreons, well deserved as always.
Birdy nickname for Little Bird. Love the names and the inspiration which will make your dump live on., great memories and great dolls.
I know I've watched this video before but what can I say......? Your videos just transport me to a sweet magical place. I just pour me a cup of tea and enjoy the magic.
The best part of this already-wonderful film is - the two of you were so happy during your impromptu mudlark! It's great hearing your surprise and joy in your beautiful finds!!! Thank you!
Totally agree
That's some impressive crafting.
Oh this was wonderful, I didn’t move for an hour and my leg has gone numb😄. Beautiful dolls 🍎🐤 with such a poignant story🧡💛🤎😊
Alex you are quite the doll surgeon. I love that you both love to do things together.
You girls give me something to smile and sob about 💕 Just love how you put things together❣️ Thank you again for the fun!
This video made me cry! Not sure why, but it was so sweet and so childlike! Loved their little sweaters and socks, and embroidered clothes! The acorn hat was to die for! You guys are just wonderful! I was mesmerized!
Lovely relaxing video. Dump dollies looked so happy in the sunshine so well done for giving them new life and pleased that you were rewarded with a new place to explore. xx
Love the dolls . They're beautiful and the embroidery was wonderful.
You Ladies have the patience of Saints! Beautiful work on those dolls 😀😍 x
Totally agree
What transformations!! Beautiful work, ladies!!
I love the hand sewing. It’s how I sew everything. So very relaxing watching you creat your dollies.
Your videos warm my heart and soothe my soul. Thank you.
Totally agree
I can’t believe that you hand sew all those clothes! Big job. You two do very well. Donna , Indiana USA
Beautiful work ladies ! Millie & tillie ( LOL ) look so much happier now !
I really enjoyed watching your crafting. Cats always go mad when we have things to sew:-)
Another great video! Love Apple and Little Bird!
Those beautiful bottle tops make great candle holders for taper candles.
Oh my word! Simply precious. I love seeing the dolls on their outdoor adventure and riding in Kate's pocket. Of course you took the dolls mudlarking. :D
You recreated them and then brought them back to their roots: mudlarking. Thank you for sharing.
Kate you could be writing and illustrating a series of children's books,about the things you and your mother find and do,from the slug that made its home in a teapot with painted toadstools that was on the edge of a stream,to the dolls that are let in the diet with a limb or half a head missing,and how they get found by two lovely ladies and are carried in a cloth bag to a house with a cat and they receive a embroidered skirt and a hand knitted jumper and are pieced together from other limbs/ heads etc and live in their own doll house miniature
Lovely video! That blue glass would make lovely beads...hint hint.
I am fascinated by your talent. I love your crafts. From America with love.
I think everything came out looking divine
You guys always do an amazing job on your dump babies. Happy Spring.
Dolls turned out very nice! Plus, after losing your old digging place, you have a new. Good day i would say.
She's gorgeous and her eyes make all the difference ❤
New house rule: Never leave the house without each person having a digging tool and bag. :)
Leave them in your car
Good rule.
What fun! The dolls are so cute. Happy to see Sunny cat. Have a great day and stay safe. 😍😍😍😍
"Am I walking a badgers? I shouldn't be walking on badgers. They are BIG and....oooooooh is that a bottle stop?!" [badgers forgotten] The two of you are a hoot! I am glad neither you nor any badgers were harmed in the making of this video. Your enthusiasm and delight are contagious.
Have you tried making patterns out of paper first for your bodies and clothes? Making paper patterns will help allow for seams and save fabric. My mom used to make most of my clothes using homemade paper patterns. She later taught me to make paper patterns first.
