Nap time is my happy hour.

-Unknown

Welcome my new baby boy Kaiyo. He’s one of the best behaved babies I have ever made. He doesn’t give me any trouble. Drinks all his milk, does not fuss much, sleeps through the night, and is always in a good mood. He’s nearly perfect. Really, I can hardly believe it.

Kaiyo loves happy songs and stories. He loves, whales, dolphins, and narwhals. He calls them unicorns. I guess he’s right, they are the real unicorns. He got so happy when I gave him the one I made for him. Kaiyo likes sweet vegetables like carrots, and sweet potatoes. He also loves to nap…like a lot! I was scared there was something wrong with him but then I noticed he’s happy calm face when he’s sleeping and I wonder if it is just that he likes to dream. He probably has the sweetest dreams. Don’t you think?

Did you notice his knitted hat? This is the second knitted hat I have made. I know is not a big deal for most of you but for me it is because I have been trying to knit for about 5 years and I have never been able to. This last time I started learning, I discovered what my problem was. I live in a very hot part of the world and my hands tend to sweat a lot. So whenever I was knitting something the yarn would get wet with my sweat and got stuck to the needles. It was impossible to take the yarn off the needles. So how did I fixed this? I now either turn on the air conditioner or place a fan facing directly to my hands. I can knit now! I still have a lot to practice but I am excited to learn new things. Now back to Kaiyo.

Kaiyo is a 15 inch natural fibers art baby doll. He’s fully soft sculpted and anatomically correct. His skin is DWE in beige. His limbs are fully lined and firmly filled with clean wool and glass beads. His torso is needle felted in two parts and weighted with glass beads. His head is floppy. His arms and legs have been hand sewn to his torso three times to make it extra strong. They are very floppy as well and bend at the elbow, thighs, ankles, and knees. His head is firmly needle felted and soft sculpted in the mouth and nose. Kaiyo’s hair is a hand crocheted brushable black mohair cap with added strands that has been hand sewn to his head. This hair can be gently brushed. His blushing has been made with chalk pastels.

Kaiyo is not a toy. He’s an art doll intended for gentle play by an adult collector or an older child 10 and up. He loves to be cuddled and held but just like you would be gentle with a real baby, you need to be gentle with him. He’s easy and fun to pose and feels great to hold too.

Kaiyo will go home with the clothes and accessories you see in his photos.

• Handmade shirt.

Kaiyo’s adoption fee is 925 USDollars plus shipping. Shipping inside Mexico is free. Shipping outside Mexico needs to be by a private courier and fully insured because he is a weighted doll. Shipping to the US is 60 USDollars. Other parts of the world would need a revised shipping quote. Customs fees and taxes are the responsibility of the buyer.

A short, 3 month payment plan is available to purchase him. However at least 1/4 of the doll’s price needs to be paid upfront, from which 50 Dollars will be taken as a non refundable deposit. Please ask for the payment plan rules if you don’t know them yet.

If you wish to adopt this sleepy head just comment below stating that you would like to adopt him, your country of residence, if you need a payment plan, and remember that the email you write should be your PayPal email address. Comments will not be visible to the public, only to me. If you are unsure if your comment went through, just send me a private message and I’ll confirm it to you.

I will take entries for Kaiyo until Thursday April 21, 2022 at 3pm CDT. If more than one person is interested I will draw a name. Once a family has been chosen I will send a PayPal invoice that is due upon receipt.

As always by commenting you agree you are 18 years or older and please do not comment for someone else, that is just not fair for others.

Kaiyo has found a loving home. Thank you so much for all the love.

Thank you for taking the time to meet my new baby.

I hope you are all safe and well and surrounded by love.

Read you soon.

Hugs,
